He's trying to pick up a trip to get the per diem. It's pathetic that it has come down to this at a major carrier. We should be ashamed of ourselves. It's time to get rid of this bankruptcy contract. It's also time to stop the damn outsourcing.
It sounds sad, but I really didn't mean it like that, its just why not fly somewhere warm with a pool and make more money doing it? A four day trip is about $120 bucks in per diem. That's a nice bit of extra money on my paycheck. I would have a different attitude if I lived in base, but I'm not sitting at HOME while I'm on reserve. Again, not complaining either way, but its nice to get trips once in awhile so I try to yellow slip sometimes and I didn't understand why it didn't work.

I'll stick to the old fashion - Warren Buffet method of investing, I.e., P/E ratio and lots and lots of research.
Well that's what I get for trying to be helpful.

Good luck.

Well if you're really trying to be helpful than post the specifics of the Snider Method. Everything you learned in your 2 day seminar, including the checklist. Help a brother out.

from a Morningstar forum:

e: What is with the Kim Snider Methodology?
03-04-2011, 11:20 PM | Post #3006856

My wife and I went through her course in December 2006 and paid aprox. $5000. We decided that since we were both about to retire we needed extra money to supplement our income.

We decided to let $500,000.00 of our retirement money to be managed by the Kim Snider Method in the early part of 2007. We let Kim Snider and her staff manage the account. Kim and her Husband Jim stressed to us that this method is equal or better than an investment grade bond.

On November 23, 2008 the account value was exactly $131,010.31 using the Kim Snider Method. They also margined $92,169.02 in that account. You be the judge?

As long as you refuse to cash out at a loss, you will always have a positive return. When that $131,010.31 goes back up to $500,001.00 sell it and you're bi-winning.
