I thought it was Jan 1st for tax reasons? I thought that's what somebody said a few* pages back.


*relative term

Most were CA's I agree with that, but most were CA's for two to three years. Now the ones that got stuck after 9-11 were CA's for 8+ years. (In the end it does not matter)

Point was that being a CA is great and all but it is not the end all be all. :o

Because if we have SOC on the 31st and not Jan first they we as a corporation do not have to break out the North and South Financial numbers. We will report for 2009 as one company. It is just like getting married the last day of the year. The government sees you as being married the entire year.

I was only a capt for 7 years......but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Got my bid in for DC-9 Captain. (-:

Don't you blaspheme in here! Don't you blaspheme in here! :D

That is fine by me. Let them commute to NYC to fly the ER. It is a mad house getting here. I will be quite content commuting to MSP or DTW to fly the 320. Go exercise that seniority. :D

But why not? It is APC after all....

Yep - that's what my NWA buds say too. Also, I think there are red book guys who have been sitting in a blockholder position, who now might be on reserve. They might move to an airplane where they can hold a line.

I think this is the first of a lot of shuffling on the former NWA side. Not all will end up on former DAL equipment. ie: a DTW A320 Captain might live on the west coast and think that SLC A320A would be really nice.

True, but whether one was a captain for 2-3 years or one was a captain 7-8 years doesn't really matter. A bad captain is a bad captain from day one!

(Not saying you were, just thinking of the old crustys I flew with and learned from how not to be that captain.)

Reverend Cleophus James: YEEEEEEEEEEEEAH! Can I get an AMEN?

Sorry, I found a bunch of Blues Brothers quotes that seem to fit just about any conversation.:D
