Well thanks guys!!! I have a lot of things I'm going to do to this phone and see if it improves.
By the way, I recommend the Otter Box. Its $49 at Best Buy but only $18 on Amazon. I once saw my slippery thin two week old iphone falling off my little side table on the 88 once on takeoff, so I grabbed and it threw it in the cup holder. 10 minutes later I pulled it out and it was wet... turns out it had been sitting in a cup holder with 3" or so of water. I dared not turn it on, I put it up against the windshield which had the sun coming in just perfect. Phone was okay, I've never had a problem with it. I was lucky. So I got the Otter Box.

The rest of the domestic/Canada/Mexico flying would be thrown to DCI to fight over like table scraps. Don't do it, and please tell your friends.
I was talking to a Delta pilot last week and he had absolutely no idea what the C-series is, how many seats it has, or that Republic is the launch customer. When I told him that it will be flying in two years you could almost see the wheels start turning as he did the math. I hope he doesn't represent the majority at Delta when it's time to vote on the next deal.

Don't mess with Porcupines:
According to the story, Dog survived, but Vet pulled 1347 quills. Not sure if this is Contract related either.

My gosh, that is absolutely one of the worst pictures involving a dog that I've ever seen.
Worth repeating.

BTW, the new Delta.com homepage is a nice change of pace, looks good.

IMHO if would not get past the first step (right now) but if it did, the reps would vote it done. God for bid it went past that it goes to MEMRAT since it is a significant change in our PWA.
I am not sure that the company wants to obtain 100 seat scope concessions at the current point in time. It would be a win for them in regards to leverage against us, but the unintended consequences are that the pilot group would revolt. With that possibility they may get a more radical group in the MEC and that is probably not something that DAL wants.
My "fear" if you will is these super regionals. These guys are getting to the point that they will control 30-50% of a mainline's lift each. When they get to that level, they will be able to exert extreme leverage on the mainline carrier in regards to pricing, pass though costs, et al. What it comes down to is that they will determine the cost of their operation, not DAL or UAUA, etc. If they opt out of their ASA's they literally could shut airlines like UAUA, DAL, LLC etc down. That means that if they demand something airlines like DAL would probably have to give it to them. In turn when they get to this power level, they may be able to demand and obtain the coveted 100 seat market.
What DAL did with the sale of CPS to TSH is continue to spread the flying out enough that no one or two carriers had this sort of control. The devil is in the details in regard to the next step. If these ASA's allow the carriers like Pinnacle, CPS, et al to be sold or acquired by carriers like RJET and SKW, then the above scenario is very likely. If the ASA's state that DAL has the right of first refusal, or a sale nullifies the ASA then there is a change that the super regional airlines will never get to this level of power.
I suspect that airlines like SKW, and RJET will try to buy airlines like Pinnacle/Mesaba, TSH, Expressjet (done) etc so that they can exert better pricing power on their mainline partners. If the mainline carrier balk it will cost these regionals dearly. If not and they allow these transactions to transpire, I suspect that it will be the mainline pilot bargaining units that will be the ones the mainline carriers will be coming after.
I feel fairly confident with the makeup of the LEC voting reps on the MEC. These pilots seem to get it. Of course time will tell.
