I still wouldn't want to go down that road unless there was some sort of iron clad way to get them out the door.. and wordsmiths always can find a way around any contract language... it's what they do.

I'm glad we finally don't have to hear about Katrina and the dog killer anymore...

Now if we can get rid of the Brady bunch it'll all be good.

I'm in total agreement here!!

Ummmmm........................not good. Cab available? Probably can't get in, but can it at least drive you to the gate? IDK, I've never been to the ATL employee lot so if it's not feasible then just disregard.

Once in the lot and ready to leave the same two smashed up buses restricted exiting traffic to a crawl ie 30+ minutes to get out of the lot itself....
Freaking MESS!!

You know, during the game I was wondering how a lifelong Bears fan like myself wound up rooting for the Packers. Ok. My wife asked me. But, I had to think about it. Ever since that Bret Favre debacle happened where he thought he could just waltz back to the team after they begged him to stay, I've been rooting for the Pack. Go Pack!

If we happen to meet in a couple of weeks, all bets are off though.

I didn't forget about you guys, Denny. You guys beat us already this year, and you looked great against the Saints. That's why was non-committal about a meeting with the Packers. Anything can happen in the playoffs. The best I can do is hope for snow in Chicago when we play.......oh wait. That strategy didn't work when New England came to town. Nevermind.

I can't say good luck, because all my luck is reserved for the Bears next week. They will need it.

Bloomberg reporting that Saudi Arabian Airlines to join SkyTeam no details

(disclaimer: cynicism alert) But its good for us as they'll feed the domestic RJ's and make DAL more money that they'll pass on to us in 2012

The average PRP pilot got to stay for about 6 extra weeks. The exception were check airman some of whom were able to stay up to 9 months. About half the pilots were selected for the program. The other half went out at their dates and could not come back.
