He went to Auburn, he's a little slow.:D

This feels a little bit like having your teenage daughter storm out of the room screaming "You hate me!".

Let's try it again.

First, let me say this: Carl, we love you all Northern Brothers like family... because you are, OK? Maybe you need a hug, and maybe we need to say together "It's not my fault, it's not my fault..." and have a good cry together.

...but we don't hate you.

OK, now... I think what the guy was saying is that the company is trying to float the message that that one side is growing, the other side not, in order to influence representation issues. They have put some stuff out on DeltaNet, both for Inflight and ACS suggesting same. Check it out for yourself. I can't access the IFS part from home, but it's on the ACS part (Departments>ACS>Memo from Gil Somebody).

The original poster wasn't endorsing the message, but pointing out the not-so-subtle hint he thought was being given. The reason he had to put up the part you find offensive is that quoting the company's message would be meaningless without it.

And maybe I'm wrong. Maybe he wasn't alluding to that ACS/IFS message, and just looking at fleets, and all he was saying is that the company is in fact shrinking one side to drive a message, I still don't think he was making any derogatory or false statements. We did park the B-747-200, and we are parking DC-9's. That's not offensive: it's only true. We also both parked 757's, as you say. OK, fine. No matter which way you look at this, you have to really want to be offended, in order to end up offended.

I think that's why there weren't any (other) debates after his post.

Carl, what's false? DC-9, 742, and 755 fleets are shrinking. The first two are not coming back. Sucks for all of us but it's the truth. The 90s, 73s and 777s are all growing number of airframes. What's the false part?

Uhhhh Nooooo
 

Don't think so!

Who Dat!
 

I'm with ya Nu! Grew up in NO. As a kid, I was a member of the Gary Cuozzo Quarterback Club (ever heard of him?) their inaugural year. Been a supporter the whole time, even with a bag on my head. Living at MSP, I'm also a converted Vikings fan. Next weekend will be sweet, but I have to go for the Saints first. Hoping for a Saints/Colts Superbowl. Peyton is a New Orleans boy too. Got to go with the home town boy! Hoping for a Super Bowl Championship for the Who Dat Nation!

Wow. Didn't see that coming. 4th down with 2 min left and they're tossing it into the endzone for a TD? Favre. I guess PHL just made DAL look unstoppable.

If SAN is in tonight then the games next week ought to be four power houses slaming into each other at full speed.

Yeah, kind of low. I guess he's not planning on coming back to play in the league next year. Oh, wait.....

Carl, you crack me up. You forgot to include the last two words of my sentence there, which were vital to not being taken out of context. hahah His quote came in response to some other quotes, but I digress.

See ya on the radios...

T-28 days until NASCAR begins!!
 

Good game Cowboys Fans <no sarcasm intended>

Think I saw her in the game today. Wasn't she wearing the #9 jersey? :rolleyes: No..............that was Romo. Was just on the ground so much with sacks (6), couldn't tell the difference between who was the QB and who the Cheerleaders were. :D

For all the DAL-S brethren. NASCAR in 28 days!!

Viking Fan

(All previous insults towards Romo and the Cowboys made it jest, of course.)

Crew Resources says that there will not be a clean-up bid this time. Next bid to come out May timeframe.
