will the common rating of the A350 & A330 have any bearing on our WB order?

Just saw the common type approval, that's great...I would think it couldn't hurt.

I know you would have been much happier with a Pelosi/Reid shirt on her, but leave her alone. She seems like a great kid.

And take off that Che Guevera shirt Bar, you look ridiculous.

When is the big wide body announcement any way? Are they trying to delay the announcement until C2016 voting begins with the threat that they will cancel the order if we don't vote for 3/3/3/3 raises?

Sorry, my cynical alter-ego got ahold of my IPad while I was outside.

When were you hired?

It was less than two years ago. I gave the entire amount to the Delta Pilots Charitable Fund.

Good thing we subsidize pilot groups whose agendas are no aligned with ours. Yay, ALPA.
The takeaway is, you have no idea how the votes were divided, and you're making stuff up.

I'm not sure how those two correlate. ALPA does not interfere with our negotiations, our CA process, etc. That said, ALPA's constitution and by-laws are determined by the members of all ALPA MEC's.

Given that the Delta pilot group managed to snag two of the four national officer slots this week, I would disagree with your takeaway.

That's not the girl I know and love. Besides, she's a Clinton fan. We manage that conflict.

So what?

How does that further the Delta pilots' agenda?

Maybe now we'll get a dues reduction. Oh, wait.
