Hell, you can throw the defensive linemen in that category, too.

It's funny. I always thought there were minimum salary guarantees for all professional sports players. Apparently, I was wrong, because it's obvious that none of the offensive linemen for the Bears are getting paid.

Do I expect it to happen again? I certainly hope not, but the list of airlines that have gone to the courts twice is quite long. Remember when Delta had 17 years in a row of customer service awards? How about when DAL and NWA were the models of financial success in the industry? Sorry for my pessimism. I work in the airline industry....every day is a new day.
You're right, the money is for Disability and Survivorship. Right now I'm told the majority of the funds are paying disability benefits (mostly non-seniority list), but supposedly there's a big wave of survivor benefits that will start being paid. I think most of the funds in the Trust are allocated to fund those future survivor benefits. I can see us hitching our wagon to a D&S survivor benefit just as the Trust gets sucked on hard, potentially leaving our survivors with an empty bag. Again, no thanks. JL's idea is a non-starter with me.
Show me the money in my name, please.

As far as the second goes, I'd want to see some figures justifing the above. Not saying you're doing it but the above bolded sounds a little like crying "wolf." Let's face it, the change to the D&S plan was a concession in bankruptcy. Are you trying to tell me we got a better deal now than it was before!! Sounds like you are telling me it's "raining." If you get my drift!
The $60 million we are paying from the plan for sick leave every year can fund alot of survivor benefits!! And I DO look at that as our (the pilots) money.
I can't argue with the last sentence either, especially the "Show me the money" part!!!
I gotta go fly and think about this!

I think it has to be the generic, "whoever is playing against the Patriots is who I'm rooting for." But, that's no fun. Any ideas?

That baseball game was a great game, too. I rarely have the patience to watch a baseball game. This whole in the schoolhouse thing has me getting up well before noon and watching baseball games. Something isn't right. 3 more sims and my LOE to go....
Not only does that french guy say very insulting things repeatedly every landing, but that dang tail needs more duct tape. Don't bid the bus!!! (unless you're junior. Then it stays on. Hot young NYC flight attendants enjoy the "jumpseat" table if you're junior too. Not if you're senior.
Mosquitos like senior people, too.
