I'm all for keeping the ALPA PAC. It's a left wing political organization that also does pilot partisan work. I just want to add the ALPA SAC (for pilots that still have a pair) to the equation. The ALPA SAC would be a right wing political organization that believed in larger liberty and smaller government...and would also do pilot partisan work.

I can get it over here on the East Coast, but have only seen it in 22 oz bottles. It's delicious and I think it's one of the best in the series.

I'm jealous you're in Pliny country out there! Best thing comparable over here is Victory Brewing Company's Dirtwolf.

Here's my attempt at base handicap:

SEA 3:1

Place your bets...
SLC.

Because it makes the least bit of sense.

Thanks!

Mr. Kill,

It was on a presser from the company today and it's in the travelnet, but you've got to look at October to get the new SEA routes...

Naturally!

I don't think the other shoe has dropped regarding the west coast 717 operation though. They're gonna want to tie it into the eastern operation, and SLC is the only logical place (hub) within range of any east 717 cities, such as STL, ORD, MSP, MCI, BNA and so on... otherwise...

If they don't tie it in, then it's like two ecosystems evolving separately, and you could see the west coast 717's mutate into some horrible, surfer-speak-soul-patch-wearing-tofu-eating-free-love hippyfest, with ties optional and pilots with suntans. Not on my watch. No sir!!

Spoken like an true angry east coaster. The US ends at Denver.

The last 777 newsletter said no mini bases...probably ever. Marketing was too fluid with equipment swaps and would not commit to a long term piece of equipment tied to a specific routing. So, Dtw and ATL for now with deadheads.

Tomorrow is the LAX FLOPs roadshow. I was hoping they would officially announce the new 717 base then, but I don't think it will be officially announced until after the AE is out.
