I don't think so. You have just made the case for DAL to replace every two M88s with one 767. Pilot costs instantly drop by 50% as half the list gets furloughed. You do realize that a 777 can generate more revenue for DAL than an M88, don't you? And thus, ALPA can make a financial case to justify paying those pilots more. And DAL can afford it. Econ 101.



BS x 3. I'm still waiting for an actual argument from you. You simply say I'm wrong - with nothing to back it up.



BS - again



Here you go again. Everyone makes more money, but the system is cost neutral. How's that math work??


Nope... you're right. ALPA has figured out the best way to do EVERYTHING, so who in the hell am I to try to think of another way to do anything? But of course DAL would go out and buy a 767 that they cannot fill.. requires MORE flight attendants... and everything just to screw the pilots... but typically, when anyone questions the way the "best" does things, float the furlough argument, and that will get everyone back in line. :rolleyes:

I'm not even gonna threaten ALPA with doing anything if they get this stuff wrong, because I know that is impossible since they have the best lawyers, "volunteers" and negotiators there are. Besides, when the time comes, it will be too late. So we are stuck with the "best" association there is... (And before you say it, no.. I have not sent in a card... yet) Your arguments are always beyond reproach, you know exactly what 12,000 guys want... truly an amazing organization and I am lucky to be able to pay to be a member. That is why they are so good at all of this. I will go back to my coloring books and speak no more of this. Now PG, get your brainiacs to fix my f$@*^# retirement... oops.. too late.

I hope the whale pays $600/hour, because that is the only way anybody else is gonna make any money... Good luck Carl.

Especially with all the 380s about to be dumped on the market.... IF you are not worried about that.. you should be.

Not to change the subject but..................Greaaaaat! :rolleyes: We get home about 8pm from a wedding ceremony of a young friend of ours and find our house was broken into. :mad: Fortunately it doesn't look like anything of great value was taken. Looks like just some of my wifes cheap, everyday ear rings and the bottom of the jewelry box (they left the top). It was probably the most expensive item. I got it for her over in Korea 25 years ago. Fortunately she keeps her good stuff in a lockable trunk that was her Dad's in WWII. I think we might have disturbed them when we came back by openning the garage door. I think they heard it and hightailed it down the stairs and out a different basement door than the one they crowbarred to get in. Sigh, time to get a security system I guess.

Denny

Oh yeah, they took the pillow case off my pillow to haul away what little they took. I can't believe they didn't take DVD's, game consoles etc that were laying about.

Well, my wife has 4 of those!! But they are pushovers. Right now it looks like the cost of replacing the door is going to be the biggest expense!! Go figure..... Thanks for the thought.

Nice rant, but I was hoping we were going to have an actual discussion.

Denny,

I was very sorry to hear of your experience. Please let me know if your forum community can do anything for you.

I don't know if you've been a burglary victim before. I have (unfortunately several times in different cities). Insurance generally covers financial losses up to your deductible, but the part that wasn't covered for me was the change in my attitude. Each time took me several months to "trust" again, and it really affected my wife's attitude when it was time for me to leave on a trip. Everyone is different, but you guys might want to talk that scenario through a few days before your next one.

Denny Crane would have knee-capped them. He has great gun control.
