Whaddya think?
A few suggestions:

A) I'd like to swap cheerleading management jobs with Clamp.

B) Do we have to stay in tents? This is VA Avenue after all. I mean all of those kids at Occupy Wall Street are having their Iphones and $5500 Mac Book Pro's stolen and they're quite upset about having stuff taken from them without permission.

C) I'd like to swap cheerleading management jobs with Clamp.

D) Let's not start today. It's like 40F and strong winds here today.

E) And I want a hammock.

F) Carl might also want a microphone...

A) and C): Bid what you want, want what you bid. You and Clamp can switch duties but you pick up the port-a-potties as part of the swap.

B) Tents or the old training hotel, kind of a toss up in my book. What we definitely don't want to do is stay in the nicer places along VA...might run into some ALPA and management types.

D) Okay, we can actually start in LA and work east. Its 72 and sunny today.

E) Granted. Everyone gets a hammock....and we'll get a microphone for Carl. In an effort to save money, I don't think T needs one.

Screw the tents. I'll be on the forbidden 4th floor of the training center. Thats where all the new-hire flight attendants stay.

Well the AF KLM contract comparison is out...

Not exactly what TO'M said we would be getting at the PTC roadshow.

This is just embarrassingly sad.

BigGuns has it right. Spirit was a freebie. No disruption to the national travel infrastructure. A Delta shutdown would be a whole different ball game.

Plus ALPA did a good job at the things I mentioned before. They came prepared with all the E&FA numbers and convinced the NMB that the pilots were being reasonable and it was management that needed a little extra motivation to cut a deal.

I agree, and am disappointed that our JV partners will not allow it.

I say for argument's sake, up your percentage by at least 20%.

How about that bridge over VA Avenue connecting the training centers and 4th floor. It's wide.

We can set up tents there.

Mine will be awesomeness:



Clamps tent:



You'll know the 330 and ER boys by their mosquito tents... and beds.
