As to Anna Kour... you know who. All I can say is when I was at Auburn a buddy of mine dated a cheerleader, she was cute, hot and mesmorizing and I'll admit to looking like a fool when she walked up and introduced herself. But I'm fine with that, because I met her.

BUT, another buddy dated a tennis player... W-O-W. Its like cheerleaders in a tall version. :eek::cool: I got caught staring. Again, fine with that too.

Oh if only I had been a Ferd, I could've walked right up to one of them while standing next to their man - and they were cool dudes - and said "Well, here I am. Now what are your other two wishes?"

Only a Ferd could do that.

OK, Carl, just for you, some facts. Every time an AE comes out, I take the projected category list and "stovepipe" that list for each base. Then I see where I would sit, if I were to bid that base, and every pilot was stovepiped. That gives a true, unbiased look at the relative seniority of the base, at my seniority level. For example, in June-09 I could hold 7ER Captain in NYC on a stovepiped list, but only 73N Captain in ATL, and only 330 F/O in SEA.

So, what does it look like on the category list resulting from the most recent LOA as compared to June-09?

I've moved down in relative position in ATL, CVG, LAX, and NYC. And I've moved up in relative position in DTW, MEM, MSP, SEA and SLC.

I'm not complaining. Just pointing out facts.

or put another way.........more...... "super premium". :D

Sorry, couldn't resist.

There is pent up demand for those areas, especially if they were former bases for one or the other airline. As it turns out, except ATL, they all were former bases for the opposite airline.

You could just about bank on NYC/LAX/SEA/ATL going more senior, and sure enough it's happening.

So what?
