Suit B: Yeah, that takes them to 182 ?
Suit A: No, that would be 183
Suit B: ha, well I was never any good at math
Suit A: We need to code share with them
Suit B: Now that's something we can agree on, pass the grape juice
I would not be surprised to see a code share or JV at all. They are looking for a new partner.

That is actually a very viable career path.
Scope concessions, joint ventures and code-sharing will eventually eliminate all but a few Delta pilots.
Guys are going to have to follow the airplanes offshore.

Does Emirates make you wear a hat?

And they are looking for pilots, lots of them.

Hey look, I don't mind flying for some Camel humping, tee-totaling, rug merchant out of some over hyped kitty litter box (and I promise not to say that over the PA) ... on second thought, anyone have the phone number of that sensitivity training course?

Not likely. Their pilots get paid what we do, but with no taxes. Their Capt's make about 11K a month plus free housing in the Kingdom and free healthcare. Most my friends that work their average about nine days off a month, they see every weird place on earth, and have an upgrade of about five years. Did I mention that most are trying to leave versus sign another five year contract.

Afternoon?

You know, once a guy runs out of Cream, Half and Half, and Milk there is not much left in here except for Vodka.
