I agree with what Shiznit said, and what everyone else said after we indulged in a little frantic speculation.

This may be one of those times to let reality catch up to the rumors, to see if any of them match up.

I did buy new Captain's epaulets, and I did try to order my 777 manuals based on what I was reading here two pages ago, but sadly there is no record in Atlanta of the award I was forecasting. How bizarre.

That's terrible. :(

never compromise savings...

Question: Alaska has 106 pilots on furlough. If I'm not mistaken a normal merger takes furloughed pilots and staples them to the bottom but if we merge with Alaska should we do something different and include those 106 pilots in the SLI?

I have an oppinion, I say yes include them per the golden rule but of course that doesn't mean I see the whole picture.

Dear Doctor Clamp,

Do you solve problems during the daylight hours, or should I reserve my issues for your midnight show???

Stuck in Detroit

55 people left the DTW DC9 F/O category and only 5 came in. Is that category really going to shrink by 50?

Include them, don't include them, I don't care as long ALL the Alaska pilots are fenced off of international. At least for awhile.

HAving trouble getting out of DTW, are you?

Stuck,

While it is my personal goal to save the world and stare at super's amazing coed pictures 24 hours a day, my true talents shine at the later hours of the evening.

What might be your queary, caller?

Thanks for listening,

Clamp

Needed the picture. And a 2 min turn time. Not bad. I shall pat my own back as nobody is here to pat it for me.

That right there is excellence and professionalism at its finest.
