Sure. Change your sexual orientation. Say you're a lesbian, and you want your girlfriend on your medical policy.
You can thank me later. Carl |

Or join the military. Supposedly we're cool with that as well these days. You can even get base housing. Not to mention we welcome your transgendered and hermaphodite types. We've become Denmark....not that anything's wrong with Denmark.:rolleyes:

Already retired from military, but I see your point there... And about Denmark.... I agree, nothing wrong with Denmark..:rolleyes:
Me too (that is retired from the military). Nothing wrong with Denmark. I just don't want our military to become it. Love the girls and the night life. Great place. Don't have much respect for their military prowess, however.:D |

Me too. I'm in. What kind of union doesn't let the rank and file vote? Oh yeah, never mind.....
Don't forget, we NOT a union. We are an association. If we were a union, we'd be ALPU (pronounced AL-POO). Uh, come to think of it.... |

mind you I went to a college where very young and attractive girls knew the lyrics to Song of the South. :D It was hot.
Of course the hits when I started college was the Macarena, Celine Dion was annoying people with Because You Loved Me, C'mon N Ride it (the train) was very popular, Eric Clapton was singing about Change the World which was a far cry from the Eric Clapton songs you wish you could play, Jewell was talking about saving your soul and we were talking about Jewell, Hootie and the Blowfish were annoying people and I think 2pac was still alive. All of this was the year... I used to stumble uptown from my South of Broad apartment after a two-week trip flying C-141s around the globe and stand in peanut shells with my cheap beer in a plastic cup to listen to Hootie when they were playing to nobody. And now, they're playing to nobody and I still stand in peanut shells and drink cheap beer in a plastic cup...buts its in my home in SoCal. My wife is not happy. In fact, that's Darius Rucker on the tail of the Alaskan jets! Don't be hating the boyz from Carolina. |

Ah you guys have such short memories.
Here is the usual response at road shows when memrat is imminent and the new contract has ****ty scope language. "Don't vote the entire contract up or down on a single issue, you have to look at the contract and evaluate it as a whole." Scope gets labelled as a "single issue" that is not important enough to vote down the rest of the contract. I have no problem voting NO on a contract with ****ty scope, but I've been on both the inside and outside of the MEC during negotiations. Pilots need to ignore the usual BS during roadshows and vote NO if they don't like their single issue. Scope has been number one on my list for almost 2 decades. P.S. Can we hire the author of the Negotation videos as our Negotiating Chairman? You can have the best pay rates and QoL and other contract items in the industry...doesn't mean dick if your job was outsourced because of lax scope and you're sitting in the unemployment line. You don't have to consider scope a "single issue" item, but geeze, you want to make sure it's not the weak link in the chain, either. There's no point in buying the latest wizzbang hi-def flat screen TV when your hovel doesn't have electricity or cable, no matter how good a bargain it is. Nu |

...Eight major mainland US bases The new airline will have eight major bases spread right across the US from Los Angeles and San Francisco on the West Coast to New York and Washington on the East Coast via Denver, Houston, Chicago and Cleveland. Of these, Cleveland is the smallest... ...The new United will serve Europe non-stop from Chicago O’Hare (seven destinations), Denver (one), Houston (four), Los Angeles (one), Newark (27), San Francisco (two) and Washington Dulles (11). The 53 routes will serve 28 airports in Europe (Delta serves 31) in 15 countries. Four routes are served with at least three daily flights. Three of these are to London Heathrow (from Chicago , Newark and Washington ) with the other route being from Washington to Frankfurt . Before the end of this year, the Continental route between Newark and Heathrow is scheduled to increase to five daily flights. Twice as many flights as Delta to Asia. A similar analysis of non-stop flights between the US and Asia shows that the new airline is by far the biggest single carrier with twice as many flights as its nearest rival, Delta. Of United’s 27 non-stop routes to Asia , 23 are served at least daily. Nine countries are served non-stop with Japan (70 daily departures) and China (49 daily departures) accounting for nearly two-thirds of all flights. Source: OAG Max Online for w/c 12 April 2010 Delhi, Hong Kong, Mumbai, Seoul and Sydney are other major Asian cities served by the new airline as it looks to develop its global presence further. On top of that CAL has more departures total from NYC than DAL... In addition to having twice as many departures to Asia, UA just got AI (antitrust immunity) with ANA so that's on top of everything else... With good management the new United will be a formidable opponent. Especially one with the DOT in it's pocket... Cheers George |
