Have you ever heard of a MS product running better unless they change OS? I'm betting we will have a 2 year life only and then go Apple. Mine Blue Screens once a day and I have to reboot. Best part is my kids laugh at me while their mini iPads continue to work perfectly.

Baja.

Does anyone have the history of when the last DAL TA contract got voted down. I think it has always passed. I think we should mix it a little. We are too predictiable.
Any thoughts Carl?

What's the extent of Sherman's shoulder injury? Gonna be a factor?

The last I heard Sherman had a sprained elbow and Thomas had a dislocated shoulder. Both have said they will play in the Super Bowl.

No...it depends on the air in their balls! :eek:

But seriously, when has NE ever put together two good games?

They always seem to choke after a big win, the bigger the blowout, the bigger the choke.

They get cocky, get lazy, Brady throws 3 picks, game over. :rolleyes:

Go watch a replay of last year's Pats/Jets game in the playoffs.

See what I mean?

Hey thanks for the insight and help. I had to go to bed last night and didn't want to mess with the Surface issue any longer than necessary. I went from outlet to outlet and none of them worked. But those same outlets worked for either my phone charger or computer charger. I did a couple of VOL UP + POWER button for five minutes and nada.

But it works in the lobby of the hotel!

?? I'll take it. But I'm a little leery, the amount of "my surface won't charge" posts on the internet is quite large. And a lot of them required replacements although a few of them ended with "I bought a second charger and it worked fine, then the original started working again on its own." Who knows.

I do know I dropped my computer yesterday, knocked it off the bed and landed face first open. Which wasn't good. The WIFI stopped working and acted as if it had never had one. I was like well crap. No online solutions worked so I was thinking I'd have to use a USB WIFI adapter until I ran across a solution that said unplug, pull battery out, hold power button for 30 seconds, plug back in. It all came back.

IDK. Crazy.

At least your surface did not try and spontaneous combust like mine did. Had to give it to maintenance to get it off the aircraft. Wonder what Delta is going to say when I ask for a new one and tell them the old one is in SEA somewhere.

Every time I use mine I am reminded why I junked my PC and went Mac 10 years ago.

Just like buying MD-11s instead of what we shoulda...

I'm not Carl, but I've got a theory. I think the success rate on membership ratification is high because the MEC reflects the pilot group. There have been some very wide margins that suggest the TA presented was an easy choice, and there have been some close votes when the decisions were tough.

I think your comment about "predictable" is accurate, but maybe not the way you meant it. When the future is more unpredictable, I think the pilots trust their representatives, who've been engaged in the process with expert advice, to choose the best options.

Soooo....second night in a row in a handicap room. Used to think it was a bad deal, but I think I'll start requesting them. The handheld shower is great. Gotta give the undercarriage a little "how's your father" before I'm on the job.

The comfort height toilet is also a plus.

New iPad Air2 would be nice. That thing is about as thin as the keyboard on our Surface's.

So far I like the Surface though. Easier than I expected it would be to use. Charger still works and it hasn't started on fire yet.
