Seems these folks are interested in airlines with pics of people on the tail.

Hmm. 717 operators:

Cobham (Aussies)
Blue1 (Finland)
Spanair (Spain)
SAS (Scandinavians)
Turkmenistan (Turkmenistan)
AirTran
Hawaiian.

What else does Hawaiian have that we want. Haneda slots? We already do MX on their A330s. They have B767-300ERs too.

Hm. Anyone with more dots?

On another note, rumor has it that Sarah Palin has been house hunting in Buckhead.

Well that wouldn't be ideal. Hopefully, we'll make a decision soon, one way or the other, and it won't be "right before" Section 6. In any case, I would rather have a union focused on restoration fighting for me than a union that has already essentially conceded defeat. At this point, it seems better to me (especially considering the urgency of Section 6 around the corner) to replace the dysfunctional union with a new one rather than trying to fix something that is just too far gone. But hopefully we can do it the hard way if we have to. Either way, I don't think any of us should give up.

ps. anyone know how to post a pic off of picasa to this site? I did this months ago and can't seem to get it to work now. Used to be I'd click on the little pic with the sun and mountain and insert the 'embed' link from picasa. Now that doesn't seem to work.

Naaaaaah just because they are interested doesn't mean they wanna buy 'em. Why buy the cow when you get the milk really really really cheap?

Of course AS can buy HI and get via our current code share up to 50% of the seats on any flight that HI which now would be AS operates.

Only problem stopping there is that it is way to big of a hole in our network if AS is bought by someone. It could be step one though.

Hey.

Does anyone know how to get pay/hours from your bank? I worked 90+ hours in October, but from what I understand, the first 5 over 80 automatically went into my bank. Of course, greedy me, I want it all. :D

There is another thread for this.. but... you say something here that kind of struck a chord, and I wanted to comment here rather than try to go to the other place.

Since alpa is a multi-airline multi national corporation, I question it's dedication to the DELTA pilot efforts other than maybe payrates, and that is a self serving interest. I really am beginning to have my doubts as to the sincerity of the national organization with respect to the DELTA pilots' needs. And I am talking about strictly the Delta pilots here. It is clearly a conflict of interest.

I think it only goes in your bank automatically if you have a negative bank balance.
