Crazy, but true story.

If our section 6 is like the Auburn game, here's what's going to happen.
Delta announces no 100 seat replacement, over staffed, economy bad, FAA announces that all Boeing 757s are grounded pending further maintenance and we have a loss. LM writes in ALPA magazine that Delta pilots are screwed, need to give up on scope and take pay cuts and give back their 401ks.
We're screwed.
Right up until Sailingfun comes in and says, guys, shut up about all your "we're going to be furloughed" crap. Get behind me and do as I say and stop talking about the 717s because you're going to screw this up.
Sailing goes in and removes the LEC reps. LM apologizes. Negotiating committee runs for cover.
Delta and ALPA come out with a TA. SWA pay for the 88 and adjusted accordingly, all SWA plus ever 717 made goes to DAL, all Saudi 90s are acquired, Delta announces no further 100 seat order as money is diverted to 100 762 domestic order... all growth.
Pilots confused.
Sailing carried off the field by Carl and FTB.
Newk, nods in approval.
That was the Auburn game.

Make sure to report it because I know there are agents who seem to like to manipulate the standby codes to get certain people on, at the expense of those who should have.
