Some of the apologist super human studs could probably tell you.

Survey data receives a regression analysis against both the opinions of Bastian and Moak. Those within a given standard deviation receive an alpa pin. Those outside of the statistically significant ring are photographed and their hats' are stolen.

Well, if our quarterly CQ CDs are an indicator, I think it says 6,700 pilots will be doing it on October 23.:D

I must be out of that loop. What/who are you referring to in MSP?

SWA has been in DTW for years without causing NWA/Delta much trouble. I certainly wouldn't scoff them in ATL, but I don't think we have to fear them either. I'm sure RA and they boys will welcome them appropriately.

I thought it was much of the same team we have now?

ATL-DFW in a 747? I can see the DFW commuters now...

Wonder how many ate saying "well, I've been wanting to move back..."

Although you've lost your mind to say that. That said, AMR flirts with chapter 11 and we come in strutting our best stuff? Plus adding 744s!

Aren't they mill charters that are the continuation of the others that are in the bid package. Ya know, from the middle east, to middle Europe, to ATL, then on to DFW?

I think you're right. See ATL-PHF was a FL only route for years and now mostly just 88s. And now ATL-CAK, which was FL/RJs before and now has 88s.

The point should be the 88 takes back RJ flying and gives up te 737 and 757 replacement flying it was doing.

I'll take any mainline growth I can get.

The news releases of "new" routes (to be flown by 70 seat RJ's) have gotten pretty old. :D

Perhaps they're too busy trying to keep up with and understand changes to CQ bidding, CQ training, "Else start next" changes, and are looking for some time between their flying and second jobs to get to it right away.

Sounds about right. CQ bidding was not too bad. I got a late period in the week I wanted. I am not sure if I guessed correctly or just got lucky.

As for that CD, well I think I will get to it some time next month, after I take care of looking for a business to buy, pass a check ride, and go on vacation! :D
