How are you at catching gophers?

Carl,
Catching gophers? You mean killing gophers, don't you?
Your movie alter-ego has nothing on me. I have a serious gopher problem and have been fighting them in a long drawn out war of attrition for years - but no more.
I have recently been on a major gopher offensive. I have always waited for them to show up in my yard and then got them with poison and traps. Well now I have a dog so the poison is out. Well last year I purchased the vacant lot next to my house (think of it as behind enemy lines for the gophers) and have gone on the offensive.
Its all out war! Man vs Gopher!
I will not rest until all the varmints are terminated. Traps, poison, Smoke bombs - its an all out war to the death!For Carl's consideration I will post gopher Kill numbers and would like to even post a picture or two of a few gophers that I introduced to my traps but hell, PETA would probably be on my ass for that so you guys will have to settle for the gopher body count which at this time is 4 for 2011.

Of Course Boeing is considering a replacement. They need to. The 73N is as stretched as much as it can.
Why do you think Delta published the fact that they sent out a RFP?

In case you wanted to see how each airline's pilots compare on block hrs per pilot per month compare.

A Look though our past performance.

Take the time to read all of this chart. It has total pilot salaries etc on the bottom. We can look at a third parties numbers.

Oh I've looked at the west coast route map plenty, and it is very disturbing to say the least. Part of the AS code share has helped part of our network but there is much of it we can and should be doing ourselves. The current terms are far too one sided IMO.
I ran into the same issue last month. The way scheduling explained it when I called is that during the initial line build, IOW when PBS builds your initial reserve line, it can go past 6 consecutive reserve days. However, once your line is build, you can't trade to go above six days. He mentioned it was a contractual thing. It wasn't that important to me, so I didn't pursue it.

Keep in mind that these numbers are "unadjusted" and I don't believe they account for 3 and 4 man crews which is why the network carriers numbers are lower than the LCCs.
