How fast can a cheetah run?

Uhh,...., as fast as he has to?

Buzz,

Pretty impressive, I would want to know if it was an African or European cheetah prior to my answer. :)

To be safe I would also need to know if it is laden or unladen. :rolleyes:

b) The pay protection will cease at the earlier of:
1) the conversion of a pilot junior to such pilot to a category with a payrate
which is equal to or higher than the payrate for the 24.E.10. category,
provided the award was the result of a vacancy posting awarded after
SOC, or
2) 36 bid periods plus 180 days following SOC.
Note: A pilot will not lose this pay protection if he was under a category
freeze incurred prior to SOC until an award subsequent to SOC is made in
which he was eligible to bid.
5) The Company will be excused from compliance with this provision in the event a
circumstance over which the Company does not have control is the cause of the
pilot’s inability to hold the 24.E.10. position during the applicable period of pay
protection.

Section 22-12-4

In a nutshell, we are looking at 36 months from SOC which was in December 2009, which means that the Pay Protection would expire in January 2013?
Of course this is barring a junior seat becoming vacant or other such scenarios within that time period.

I thought that it started from when the merger was announced,
or am I thinking of the no furlough clause?

Btw, I asked the wrong question, I corrected it. Last one:


Witness: Striker was the squadron leader. He brought us in real low, but he couldn't handle it.
Prosecuting Attorney: Buddy couldn't handle it? Was Buddy one of your crew?
Witness: Right, Buddy was the bombardier, but it was Striker who couldn't handle it. And he went to pieces.
Prosecuting Attorney: Andy went to pieces?
Witness: No, Andy was the navigator, he was all right. Buddy went to pieces. It was awful how he came unglued.
Prosecuting Attorney: Howie came unglued?
Witness: Oh no, Howie was a rock, the best tail-gunner in the outfit. Buddy came unglued.
Prosecuting Attorney: And he bailed out?
Witness: No, Andy hung tough, Buddy bailed out! How we survived, was a miracle.
Prosecuting Attorney: Then Howie survived?
Witness: No, 'fraid not. We lost Howie the next day.

<<in the event a circumstance over which the Company does not

That's the part where they can do what ever they want. Reminds me of Force Majuere, and I'm sure I spelled that wrong.

So true and nicely said!

Thanks Boiler. I appreciate the bump, but I still think only a couple of people read it.

My somewhat hidden point with that story and the joke that followed, was basically that we are all cut from the same cloth, and fighting each other is counter productive. We know the enemy, and he is not us.
