Definitely possible. They will go from "we want to staple, we don't want your furloughs to Thanks for bailing us out, we over expanded in Europe."

Anything can happen Captain Obvious. And if it does what does it really mean/prove? We're all going to be on the same list here in a few weeks so i guess there's really no bubble to burst. It's entertaining to watch you jump on morsels of information and spin it before you even know what your looking at.

Unfortunately it's Western Europe and Eastern Asia where the weakness is now. Don't think you're bailing anyone out. Looks like more of an anchor. We all need to hope they find enough profitable places to put all this metal.

Jumping on morsels? You mean the way most of you DAL knuckle-heads are jumping on the NWA seniority list showing Long Term Sick, and Disability Retirements? You know...the way we've been doing it for 60 plus years?... The same list we showed on day one of arbitration?

You guys are the kings of jumping to conclusion as long as it trashes NWA pilots in some way. When it comes to jumping on scraps, hynenas have got nothing on some of you ladies.

No, East Asia is not weak. My loads are still 98% plus on the Asia routes. You're right about Europe though, that is quite weak.

Anyone who has come off of their Kool-Aid highs know that neither side is saving the other. The fact that Chairman Bloch agrees is all that matters right now.

Insertion of comedic relief since this thread has made a wrong turn

So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

The great Carl Spackler

Well, I guess that I am going to have to jump in here now. Your team has had about 6 months to get the list right, and it still isn't. That's not by chance, it's by design.

Shall we continue? It won't do any good. You'll look the fool, and still be wrong.

When it comes to our two sides trying to make a case for a decision that will effect the rest of both of our careers I would say both sides would be idiots not to. Both of us sent our guys in there to debate and argue points that will sway things in our favor...I don't see anything wrong with that.

What's with this trashing NWA pilots stuff? Nobody was trashing anybody, both sides were building a case.

Somebody needs a hug.
