It was never about conspiracy for me. I just didn't want to change something that I felt wasn't broke. I suppose if there wasn't an election, others would have been up in arms over that.

The policy manual directs 6 months before Section 6, so either the policy manual needs to be changed or we should get used to this. It seems the MEC went with the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality too. What if there was widespread criticism of some future committee and the MEC wanted to fix it? You might be happy there was an election. The policy manual should be about the process absent any valuation on the current individuals. The process was followed, we had a democratic election, there were no conspiracies, everyone should be happy. That is transparency, publish what you are going to do and then do it.

We must stop air force on air force crime. It's a travesty.

That is a serious perk and I love it. Did Delta have that before the merger?

The positive space aspect of both front and back end dh's.....

Finally done with CQ... or QC... reminds me of the comedian who said "you know in 8 weeks I learned to drive an 18 wheeler... or in 18 weeks I learned to drive an 8 wheeler? Well it doesn't matter, I'm driving behind you!" :D

Time for some Bo Diddley and 1960's style miniskirts!

the white due with the afro, he's only dude that gets the talent, ungrateful spoiled little brats. :rolleyes:

We've always been able to do it on the back end (insert joke here). The front end PS is new.

Also a part of LOA 29, the SOT (Scheduling Optimization LOA) It also brought about new reserves required computations; allowing better swapping ability for line holders, CQ bidding, and a ton of other things.
