No you shouldn't. The fact that we have to do just that is sad, but it is reality as you are well aware.

At the end of this process, it will almost assuredly be our responsibility to vote NO on the first TA. We'll have to vote NO even after hearing from the MEC that: "This is as good as it's going to get, and if you vote NO, we'll have start all over from the beginning with a new MEC, blah, blah, blah."

If you are putting sauce on Rendezvous ribs, you are missing the whole point of the place. Dry ribs are MEMPHIS Ribs!

Carl,

Even with my 100% no voting record, I'd still have to evaluate any TA on its' merits.

You make a most excellent point. I use that stuff on Chicken too. I'm getting hungry.

You know, just to address the old Delta culture of Huff Daland Dusters turned Delta, Western Airlines, Northeast Airlines, Chicago and Southern Airlines and portions of Pan Am and the new Delta culture that now welcomes in the combined cultures of Northwest Orient and Republic which once was North Central Airlines, Southern Airways and Hughes Air West.

The journey will be difficult. The road will be long. We face this challenge with profound humility, and knowledge of everyone elses profound limitations. But we also face it with limitless faith in the capacity of the Delta pilots. Because if we are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it, then I am absolutely certain that generation from now, we will be able to look back and tell our grandchildren that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the retired sick so that more would retire and then good job scope to prevent any of us from becoming the the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of Delta Connection began to slow and our industry began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war with each other, began a new one with Southwest and secured our scope and restored our image as the last, best hope on earth. This was the moment—this was the time—when we came together to remake this great airline so that it may always reflect our very best selves and our highest ideals. So, let's look at each other, and say what we're all thinking. Let's not get caught, let's keep going. GO! yeah, I'm sure. And Thank you, God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.

I'll admit to not thinking that analogy out prior to hitting Post Quick Reply.




So on that note, check out 80's new pimpin' ride to the crew room.
