No worries. My understanding is this spring/summer were better then hoped for, & there is still plenty of time for the fall. :)
Time will tell, with 667,000 jobless claims last month, things are getting worse. The White House is predicting 8.1% as the top unemployment rate. If this holds true, we are probably very close to it now. |
I love me some optimism in the morning, it goes great with my coffee!!

Word is that there is going to be a resolution out of DTW that restricts the use of section 1 for bargaining credit.
Nu After you protect your ALPA brothers at Midwest, right? NWA/Delta used Midwest to block AirTrans growth plan and the pilots at Midwest were caught in the cross-fire. Give 400 dues paying ALPA members at Midwest a break. They took a bullet for you. Where is your code of conduct? |

With fare sales and kids free promotions at Disney World, even people on unemployment will go on vacations. And don't forget all the extra income people are going to have when they get bailed out of their high mortgage payments. Those people can go on vacation with their extra bailout income, then ask for another bailout when they've spent money they should have saved. |

Delta had nothing to do with the TPG/NWA purchase of Midwest. You might look around, any other small airlines having any financial difficulties? Aloha, SkyBus, Frontier, ATA....? Could it have been the business model Midwest used that is causing it to fail? |

My code of conduct is to try and back the concept of gaining the most for my airline's pilots and for the profession itself. Where was your code of conduct when Midwest went out and AirTran'd the industry? Oops...now I sound like you...I know you would have had nothing to do with that business decision of your management. Where was your code of conduct when you did nothing to increase pay and benefits of the professional airline pilot?? Carl |

Remind me, what did the pilots of Midwest do for Skyway pilots?
"Oh snap!" |

Where is your code of conduct? You don't need our help. With that superior intellect and cheery attitude I am sure you will have no trouble finding another job. |
