2 year promise to not close any bases as a result of the merger expired last night at midnight. Nobody else had their eye on that date?! Not to be too pessimistic (it is what it is), but awaiting the hammer in CVG. Rumors are now free to fly from the top down.

Well...with MEM, CVG and DTW all in the 'same' geographic area...I could see them closing MEM and CVG, and now that SWA is coming to ATL, I can see them closing ATL and moving everything to DTW!

Nothing would surprise me anymore...

Other than what someone else just posted, I haven't heard anything. Which in Washington-speak, I'm guessing is good news. If the words was filtering down from the DOT that it was going to get canned again, I think you'd see more info from Delta or US Airways asking employees for support, senators saying they were in favor, etc. But, that's just my guess.

...but if I'm carrying credentials for the weapon in my pants. Hmmm... I've got an idea.

Furthermore if they actually had any ill-intent they would probably not try to take their weapon through a metal detector.

I realize that people may pretend to be a pilot to bypass security - this is why we need a foolproof method of identifying actual pilots. We need to focus on identifying people vice objects.

No argument from me! I'm just pointing out the inconvenient truth behind the fact that we are viewed differently by the policy makers than we view ourselves.

We reply with "Yeah, but...", and the headlines of Stupid Pilot Tricks gets waved in our face. We remind everyone of how we have a crash axe in the cockpit, and how we've got the yoke in our hands, and how we are trusted with hundreds of lives and millions of dollars worth of airplane...

...and they show the mug shots of drunk pilots trying to fly, or blowing holes in the airplane with his gun, or leaving his gun at Sbarro...

...and the critical element of INTENT is lost in the mix.

Hey Boyz

Nothing substantive at all to say...just checking in. Been flying my lily white arse off. Since FTB never gets out, somebody has to do it. ;)

Any way, Buzz out.

Believe it or not, I was sitting at home last week and got a call for my second trip in a month!? Can you believe that? I didn't know what to do. Twice in a month!!!

Cute, I have seen the TSA workers screened. I admit that I am not aware of the local procedures at every station, nor do I keep track of where I am when I see them screened, but there are many cities I frequent that have the TSA screeners pass though security upon arriving at work.
Mo Betta?

Cha-ching! $$ :D
