Well now.... Outing someone is bad ju-ju, and if that's the case and it's a TOS violation then there you go... Is the violation for threatening to out someone, or actually outing someone?

Still think EVERYONE needs to try and be a little nicer around here.

Oh, and a $5,000 annuity each year for 25 years would leave a pilot with $125k/yr. (I'd still rather have my PS), but some people would rather have the security and stability of annuities. It def. wouldn't payoff for older pilots but for young ones it might have some appeal....YMMV.

Especially when mostpilots could buy 2-3 annuities this year alone😀

I wonder if per capita PS was what you had in mind, Jerry, when you decided to preemptively manipulate opinion on the PS topic?

Not to get away from the thrilling Treehugger/IAV8/whoever we are this time discussion, but ship 1812 carried the Seahawks to PHX then went to BOS to carry the Patriots to PHX. Same crew, too. Now, the aircraft did stay overnight in BOS so there may have been an errant equipment manager at the gate! Sorry Denny!:D

We can stop right after the font I bolded in your post shiznit. It's not a "choice" unless we pilots allow it to be. Certainly the team of management/DALPA wants to portray this as a choice, but we line pilots shouldn't. The premise is false and based on weakness. We have PS, they want it back to self fund pay increases. They're trying to tie the two together. We should not.

Preach it brutha Carl!!!

Scambo,

I just did this with my two (under age 10, first time skiing), on the cheap. We stayed in Ogden (Hilton Garden Inn on points, right across from giant movie theater, indoor adventure center, and lots of restaurants). We did two days at Nordic Valley and a day at Powder Mountain. Hill AFB has very nice and inexpensive rental gear. Nordic Valley was making a lot of snow, but perfect for first timers. Lots of ticket options and night skiing for a flexible schedule. PM me if you have questions - awesome time.

Scambo,
If you have any military affiliation, you can stay in the Hill AFB TLF for $50/night, rent skis pkg across the street on base for about $15 per day and you are 30mins to the parking lot of Snow Basin, and if they are real beginners there is Wolf mountain that is really set up for beginners with three beginner lifts and magic carpet.

Snowbasin has good lessons, but really one magic carpet and one beginner lift, otherwise the rest of the terrain goes from intermediate to challenging.

Luv,

How were the TLFs? Reasonable, quality-wise? We have a 15, 12 and 9 yr old. Hotels can get pricey.

Nordic Valley is the new name for Wolf Mountain. I guess they have a big expansion planned in the next couple of years. Most family-friendly place I've ever skied.
