I'm tired of the political banter. I want paid more yesterday. I'm tired of living paycheck to paycheck. This new contract can't come soon enough.
No kidding!

I now have an expensive visit to the ER to pay for. And I don't mean the 767. I mean Children's in Atlanta.

Hello payment plan!!!

No offense Scambo, but, personally, I think it's in poor taste talk about picking up pieces of an airline, espeically one with such a storied history as AMR, and who's pilots are even now fighting for a restorative contract.

Karma's a real biatch, and we don't need any more negative vibes coming back to us. We've got too much on our plate already.

Plus 1 on the contract, then there can be a JCBA that builds upon that...

The red Swingline was broken a while back and can't be used anymore as in the past. There's some experimentation with a smaller less capable one going on in Texas though...I hear it can have unexpected results.

Cake!

That would be the big dog move...

There is an excel spreadsheet function for this:

+IF(AMR+AS,THEN(DAL+HI),if(AMR+HI,THEN(DAL+AS),if( AMR+USAIR,THEN(DAL+DFW+ORD+LAX+MIA+JFK+CLT+PHL+PHX ),if(DAL+DFW+ORD+LAX+MIA+JFK+CLT+PHL+PHX,THEN@1YR+ SOC(DALNETWORK*.6)

Agreed, I was just spouting, not wishing.

Because Tim is ALPA?

On a serious note... if DPA replaces ALPA, does Moak stay at ALPA Nat'l or does he become an ALPA orphan?

A cursory look at used Malibu's shows sales prices of anywhere from about $500,000 up to almost $1 million! I don't think a 70% (C2K+COLA) pay increase would get me anywhere near the ballpark of being able to afford that. Would love to have one, though. Maybe I'll win the lottery. Nah, that requires buying lottery tickets. DC-9's might be pretty cheap (but not less than a Malibu), but I couldn't even pay the gas bill on a DC-9!

Bidding back to the 88? Who knows where I'll end up? My relative seniority as a Captain has done nothing but slide backwards since the merger. I might be back on the 88 as an F/O!
