Either way, 2010 was a year of change where our profitability comes from being one airline and not two. But thats just how I see it.

I should've said meeting Newk, Carl and Ferd out of DTW. What if there was a perfect storm and all 3 were in NYC's downtown overnight? Dare I say, Hogs and Heffers?

Thats where my Coex buddy took me my first time in the city. Quite an introduction. Bar in Elisabeth, Newark Penn, Penn St, Empire St. Building, Central Park, Times Square, the Village?, and topped off at Hogs and Heffers and a cab back to Newark Penn at 3am. Scheduling called at 7. I kid you not-luckily I drink cokes. I got dressed, went to the airport but called and said "you know, I don't go on call til 10, so I don't think its right you call me at 7." They agreed and sent me back and I slept for 3 days.

Just noticed Carl left, why? You missed the after 12 pic show?

Carl, I know we have had our differences in the past. However, I do respect and envy your ability to see the world in black and white. From what another guy on here stated, the merger had to do with keeping within a certain percentage of changes or risk having to pull everyone in for an indoc and sim sessions. Clearly we were out numbered and we were always going to go the least union route, that was at any cost.

I agree. I have a Droid and I really like the phone. I don't drop calls and I can tether my laptop. In fact, I tether a lot. It is a great feature.

The iPhone may be a great success for Apple; however, I feel they are making the same mistakes they did with their desktops in the 80s 90s. They are very proprietary and have even shut out software writers who didn't see it Apple's way. Android is open source, can use flash, and in a few years has taken up 25% of the phone market. Couple that together with Google's dominance in the ad wars, I'm afraid to say that Apply might have again jeopardized a good future.

I was hoping that my Droid phone would get a browser that would support Icrew/Ecrew. Everything else works except when trying to look at your schedule. With the Android 2.2 software getting flash, I suspect that issue will be fixed.

Denny C.,

Thanks for the lift (again) shouldn't you be sleeping?

Here's the latest MD90 count:

3 Hello air (ex SASA)
9 China Eastern
Letter of Intent signed on 8 Blue 1 (ex SAS) birds

The first ex Hello bird should be hitting the line next week...

Cheers
George

Carl, I believe the integration team like the functionality of your software, but it could not report to SAP. NWA did not run SAP, and to go back to a non-sap company is just plain stupid.

You deal with the programs that report to SAP even though they may have less functionality.

Real simple Carl, who is the VP of IT and where did She come from? :D Now tell me that she chose the software from DAL just to upset the 744 pilots. :D

It was not a N v S issue.
