I'm wondering if they'll offer any at all. Maybe on the 7er, but I can't imagine any other fleet. It'd be nice though.

Remember they went away from those two winters ago. No more 55 hrs and no flying. They offer the no pay with bennies one. Also with the RLL (Reduced Lower Limit) they probably will not need em.

Do not forget the training footprint that the last and next AE's are going to create.

I don't want the conference to turn into the PAC 10 where you need an airliner to go to an away game. Tailgating starts to suck then.
Well, whatever the behind the scenes story is the SEC decided not to invite A&M. I wouldn't have minded A&M. Maybe it's a cow college thing. Heard rumors Mizzou would've been added and Auburn would've gone to the SEC East, which would've sucked if you had to play Bama twice a year. Takes the fun out of the once a year event. I think some NFL rivalries would be a heck of a lot better if they were once a year events.

but you're right, college station is FAR FAR from Gainesville and Columbia SC. Still not as stupid as what the ACC did having schools from BOS to MIA.

Of course the funny part is FSU. They didn't want to compete so they chose the ACC and that served them really well for a decade plus. But yet TLH is closer than GNV.

I don't know who was going to make 14, Clemson? FSU? GaTech? Louisville?

oh well.

Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. They had a 90's retro thing going on the radio and it's funny to think of Mark Wahlberg the singer.

I've got to give it to the guy. He was an original founding member of New Kids on the Block but quit before they "came out." He then did his music thing but got into movies and he made that movie Fear.

Fear is a gift to every day who has a under 14 year old teenage daughter and wants to scare her straight about boys dad doesn't like. In the movie, daughter, mom and everyone just loves the new boyfriend except dad - so when the dogs chopped off head comes through the doggie door everyone finally comes to grip with the fact dad was right. And dad saves the day. Great movie dads!

So Marky Mark gets bonus Man points for quitting New Kids on the Block and making a great horror flick for Dads to show impressionable teens.

Then he made Boogie Nights.

Man points don't count if you starred in Boogie Nights.

Pointless rant. Better than another hit on the DPA/ALPA thread. but i'll be there sometime soon.

Any one used the Rosetta Stone learning program before? Was thinking of investing in the Spanish program. Knowing Spanish could be very helpful.

I wish I had known Spanish when I flew for one of the wealthiest Mexican Americans businessmen in the country. And when i say immigrant i mean no money and no english coming to the states in the 60s and four decades later making $40m a year in his checking account running a near billion dollar business. Not bad. Sure it's not Facebook money but it's pretty impressive.

Spent some time in Mexico. I really needed to learn Spanish and I have the stories to prove it.

Of course he gave me some Spanish but I wasn't going to use it. Not sure what I was saying or more importantly what I was volunteering myself to do.
