There are issues with a Alaska merger that would also be problems. Our reps are very aware of that and from talking with them would push for a complete early opening of the contract if a merger with Alaska were to come to pass. The only way however the company is going to go that route is if they feel that someone else is going to make a run on Alaska.

so yes, i'm snokered on nyquil as i type so i probably wont respond to any responses to any incendiary comments i make from here on out... but rest assured, if it was me satch, i'd find tsquares house of beer.
try the atl jetway code as the alarm code. if that doesn't work take your delta id. when the cops show tell them youre a delta pilot and not a word more. there is no way they'll question you sinxe its obvious only a delta pilot could live in a mansion on the beach in south florida. thrn say hi to donald trump and act like you belong there.

Little known fact, the better Auburn plays (as in undefeated) the fewer games I watch. I tivo them and get updates on the iphone. If we win I watch, if we don't I don't. I won't even check APCF, I had to watch the super bowl a quarter late thanks to a family medical issue. I was in the 2nd quarter when someone on here mentioned the score. D'OH what was I thinking.
