Fellas,

We have a lot bigger fish to fry than changing the way we get paid. IMO!

Denny;
I beleive that the MEC knows that. I agree that it is difficult to get used to. It hurt when I went to it, but after a month or two you adapt. Change when you pay bills etc.

I do not see a policy like this being a front burner issue. It would have to be a gimme.

Items like the way we get paid should be changed..... In my small tenure with DAL I have seen a lot of "that's how we do it at Delta". While this may be true it doesn't make it right. As one politician said it's time for a change!

Lets change what we get paid and worry about how we get paid later.

Hey I'm sure we will fly together on the Mad Dog if your going to MSP.

Express, let me know how that MSP commute is? It seems enticing to me. Looking at a few properties in the Western part of your city!

Will do.
The trips need to get better. Most of them you have to come out the night before or get a hotel when your done with the trip.
I think and hope this changes as the category just started. Only west coast flying is LAX red-eye.

Last flight home is 5 something on the weekends and 7 something on the weekdays. ATL is better in that regards.

I know, but it is all about the number of Joe's fighting for a seat.

Looking at options. Market is improving, plus it is fun.

I suspect that the category will improve a good deal going forward.

Our market is slowly starting to rebound, but oil is going to spike again. It's already happened really, from the low 30s to now above $85 dollars per barrel. With the oil slick in the south and the Administration saying no new drilling until a cause is found, you can bet we are in for another oil run up.
