They tend to work more like an oven in terms of heat application. We went back to traditional gas grill after having one for several years.

Delta Air Lines will NEVER be released to self-help.

The sooner we realize that the better off we will be.
United and American are also now "too big to release". Probably UPS and FedEx as well.

The Railway Labor Act no longer functions as originally intended. The only reason the NMB is relevant is because ALPA and management still find it useful as a tool to control pilot behavior.
"Can't ask for too much. The NMB will never allow it. We'll get put on ice."
Its a way to lower expectations and take some of the heat off the union and the company.

The National Mediation Board doesn't mediate anything. They work in concert with management and ALPA to regulate labor costs in the airline industry.

Two words.....Geen Egg!
Grill, smoke, bake.

Ditto!!

The rest of the 170 hours goes away. You have to drop a trip without pay if you are sick. Like a PD or APD. Only guaranteed. Of course you still have disability if needed for long term. Its not like vacation because you can use PTO one day at a time, anytime, even at short notice.

BTW, I believe our FAs have a system like this, only they get just 27.5 hours of PTO not 100.

Yes! I also have one of these next to it:
Waring WGR140 Electric Countertop Griddle 17" - 120V

Also, Hell's Handle grill tools.

True. But "labor risk" is still exploitable leverage after RA's boast to the contrary.

Next time the management shills start in again with sick leave or OE trial balloons, let's pull some permits for informational picketing at LGA, JFK, and SEA.

Trying to talk myself out of the egg. Cheap pilot.

Also check out Traeger wood pellet grills. Excellent smoker. Digital thermostat lets you set it and forget about it. Also has a cold smoke option for cheeses and such.

Baghdad Bob(Tim Clark) is coming at us with a "sledgehammer". What is it with the Middle East and blowhard talk?
