Yeah I kind of got screwed on the deal. I told Moak that I wanted my nice new oil painting on the cover. I've always liked the whole George Washington look. He said he didn't think it was "appropriate", so he puts that 747 on the cover instead.

Some people have no taste.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

Yep, I saw that. What fun. :eek:

Nope, but they should be. I sent a comment in about this a few years ago, but did not hear anything back. A step parent gets the bennies, so in-laws should get them as well. Like Step-parents, one set of in-laws should be afforded the benefits. ( so, basically, after the divorce your second set for inlaws/step parents is used up!)

HA HA! :D

Brings a tear to my eye Carl, really does. :D

I got some DAL, SWA, and LCC today all fairly close to their 52 week lows. Good money to be made in the airline sector in the next few months. LCC is a gamble, but it could be a gold mine if they are part of an acquisition.

Will y'all permit me a rant? OK, thanks!

When I see graffiti in bathrooms and cockpits I am saddened by how we diminish ourselves.

This is the type of thing you expect to find in a truck stop. We think we should be paid better than truck drivers, no?

We should conduct ourselves in a manner commensurate with how we demand to be treated.

JMHO.

I believe you are mistaken.
Last I saw, their Section 12J still has a Variable Min (4 to 6) for Duty Periods not Calendar Days.

I'd love to get 5:15 per Calendar Day, but it might be just as good to deal with it through trip rig (TAFB).

Trip rig won't stop the 10:30 three day domestic trips. Calendar day ensures you get paid for every day at work. Arriving from the west coast at 7am after flying the red eye all night should count as a day at work.

There may be a short term reactionary bounce, but if you don't get out then, there is potential for real ugliness. You will recall what happened when Wall Street partially reduced leverage in 2007-2008. Now we face the prospect of the largest business in the World, the US Government, doing the same.
