Kosher or not?
Mixed or not, that would not be Kosher.

What would the hypothetical topic of the hypothetical report be? Something relating to mixed crew operations?

Doug, there are plenty of ppl that connect dots, I just was luckier than others.

I have given up on connecting the dots in the corporate realm. No reason for ppl to look for leaks that do not exist. It is much more fun to do it without posting all of the lines between the dots.

I thought this was discussed ad nausem last month on the DALPA forum?

Just keep posting dots. Preferably in numerical order. We'll connect them on our own...

Just listen to the investor calls, read the 8-K and 10-K's and read the after action reports on the base visits and you can get a good feel for the next six months or so.

There are some good rumors that have not made this board though. I will say that.

I wouldn't know, I haven't gone to those forums in a LONG time.

A forum controlled by ALPA is, to me, a forum not conducive to unedited information dissemination. There is much more leeway here and as a result much more rope to hang yourself with ...

Oh there is rope.

Nosmo, I saw the letter too, and if that occurred as stated, there are issues with it. I know that the reps were aware of it, and the general consensus is that this was part of the PAC Rim ride along program. The used LCA's and AQFO's where ever possible, but if they were not available they were using experienced first officers. That is what I understood to be the intent of the program. It seems to have died.

I always read those forums, just to see what is up. I recall seeing that stuff on there last month. I did not know if there was a final resolution to it. I know I would want to know if someone was watching over my back and not telling me though. I am not sure if that is what was going on though.
