My point in the statement of the feces, is it costs all of us a lot of money.

Sometimes a slightly misspelled word can add a whole new meaning to the discussion. ;)

Plus,

Is it even legal to make them go away? I think by the time you got all the lawyers saddled up to ride and found a hang'en judge, that things would be done anyway.

We all paid good money for that fence, just paint it. The new highway comes through in a few years and it will come down then.

Well it is coming to feces, isn't it. Going to start throwing lots of poo at each other. I would prefer to join forces than fight each other.

If they did go away you would probably have someone sue someone else because they were relying on the fences for some reason or another. It's a good thing they are only 5 years. The arbitrators got that part right.

Imagine that, 15 clicks to update recency not to mention the time to go get on a computer. It could be as simple as one button push on the acars as it used to be. Are there no avenues to improve things like this or is it just a dead end???

However if 37, or even ten, 747's showed up we would not be able to operate them (with DAL pilots) until bids had been posted and pilots trained and converted. That would take some time and DAL management wouldn't be very happy to have those planes (and routes) dormant.

I would think DAL management would want to have some JAL 747 pilots along with the airframes so they could be operated from the get-go. Perhaps they could be only temporary employees, but if not, the domino effect on pilot training at DAL would be huge (or Hudge for Ferd!).

Curious as to others thoughts on this possibility....

While I find all this speculation somewhat amusing... it would take time for JAL to park their airplanes... in the same timeframe, somebody else could begin to pick up that flying. IF... somebody starts picking it up, meaning us. Don't forget, we are part of SkyTeam, and there is nothing that I am aware of that says it couldn't be KLM.. or Korean, or....

However... I want to make a thread resolution:

WHEREAS there has been no deal struck concerning a JAL-DAL tieup,

and

WHEREAS even if there is a deal announced, it will be months before we will know the full ramifications of said tie up,

and

WHEREAS the news media nowadays is more concerned with getting the scoop first, even if it is wrong...

BE IT RESOLVED that no one that posts on this board cut and paste any articles concerning said JAL-DAL tieup until it is realy official news. i.e. No more Afghanistan morning post or Des Moines Sentinal articles until there is actually some news and/or information.

Please.

I'm all for improving things like being able to update landing currency by ACARS. I do think it will be coming in the future. The focus of the company has been on SOC and I think IT, among other things, has taken a big hit. Now that we are post-SOC, lets hope some of these issues will make it to the front burner and be integrated in the near (year or two) future.

Well I can dream can't I?!
