Okay, little pearls if wisdom you may share with your wife:
1) Sex is the novocaine that makes marriage possible.
2) who loves you more, your wife or your dog? Here is how you know- lock them both in the trunk of your car, wait two hours, go open the trunk and see who is happest to see you.

Perx does not have Holiday Inn's link, but they give a good discount (30% less than I was able to find online) for their resorts, w/ Delta ID at check in. Budget seems to be the best on cars.
Pensacola's got a new resort property with a lazy river and kids activities. Good excuse to visit the Navy Aviation Museum in Pensacola. Check the schedules, on some days the Blue Angels practice right on the beach. Take the wife up to Seaside or Aly's Beach for the yuppie $60 dinner and the Back Porch is the same as it has been for 30 years now.

Very bottom, center console. Small knob on far right is door unlock. BIG DIAL to the left is rudder trim control. One swift turn on that thing and you're going to get what they got!

Seems like this guy would have realized something was wrong when his neck tie was skewed 30 degrees. ... like Air France being 17+ degrees nose up at FL370 with the engines at idle ... some things, I just don't get.
Had an FO at a previous airline tweak the rudder trim and the knob stuck due to all the crap that was under it. He left it in position as the airplane's trim slowly ran towards the stop. Even with the knob stuck it was no big deal to control the jet, get the knob un stuck and re-trimmed.

Nobody feels sorry for you. 9 years is a long time to spend at Comair. You should have quit that job along time ago. I went from zero flight time to Delta in less than 8 years. In the last nine years, every airline has hired except for American. You especially won't get any sympathy from a Delta pilot. You know the pilots that you refused to let work at your company unless we resigned our recall rights. You made your bed.

Your correct the Delta MEC could have negotiated the issue with management at Delta. They could not however have forced the issue and in fact had no leverage to make it happen.
In addition they had it on record that the Comair MEC would not accept a staple in the event DALPA could somehow convinced management to merge the list. (That was never going to happen, Divide and conquer was a cornerstone of management at Delta)
With Comair making it perfectly clear that they would only accept ALPA merger policy to guide any integration and their position before the aribtraitor would be DOH it was never going to happen.
It would not have happened even if DALPA wanted it but the Comair MEC insured Dalpa would not even support it.

Can't say I'm surprised:
FAA work FT/DT rules are set to change.
DALPA sends out message about how the rumors of rules changing for the worse are unfounded; that the PWA protects us from rules that would be disadvantageous to the pilot group.
Survey asks if you're open to changing PWA in regard to new FAA FT/DT rules.
Read between the lines: What are you willing to give up to keep PWA FT/DT as currently written now that FAA rules allow some to be relaxed?

It can be packaged many ways.

When your Captain comes back, ask him "Hey, what's with the wet knees?!?"
From the date on Slowplay's JC letter, it looks like I started a year later.

On the ERJ-145 if you waited a few seconds to give your outger pilot time to get to the head you could then pull the lavatory light cb on the overhead and maybe ust a little trim in, trim out, trim in and so on while he is standing up in the back should make for a pretty immature laugh.
