I'm a motorhead and thoroughly enjoy discussions about cars, boats, snowmobiles, trucks, etc.

I honestly couldn't give a rat's a** about college football, but I haven't complained as you've gone on-and-on about University of Tennessee football.

I find the thread's diversity interesting...

+1

What kind of guy doesn't like cars???:confused:

I agree, all the college ball and nascar stuff makes me yawn. If you want to talk about lifted bro-trucks or offshore boats, bring it.

Apparently. :rolleyes:

And apparently when he posts a post chock full of cuss words that another moderator happens upon, I get blamed for that.

Regardless, I overreacted yesterday to the bid award. I let the backslide get to me and shouldn't have. Far worse things have happened to people around here.

For that I apologize. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Happy T Day, as well. Yep-Many are about to march elsewhere, destroying family quality of life. And when some think 20% pay raises, all else being equal, is a good start, it makes me sick to my stomach. Professional pilots, commuting to bunk beds with 6 to a room before they fly widebody aircraft to international destinations. :)

Happy Thanksgiving All Y'all!

And speaking of Thursday, here's a video that makes "Friday" look downright Grammy-worthy:

I'll spare you the embedded version, it's just too painful

Take a plane....seriously. Skywest has a Brasilia that does the 8 minute flight.

What would you do with the other three minutes?

So WestJet just won the eight slot pairs they said were unsustainable.
Lemme guess, since we just announced a codeshare with WestJet, any Canada flying will now on be on WestJet...

Maybe we can have an Enhanced Marketing Agreement with WestJet :roll eyes:

George,

+ 1. Management seems more interested in outsourcing than anything else. I guess that is what the markets want to see. Problem is, in my opinion, the markets put too much emphasis on short term bumps in stock price vice looking at the long haul. That may be great if your investing (even though many, including yours truly think its shortsighted) but I am not so sure its good if you are concerned about a 30 year career.

Oh well this is DALPAs chance to shine.

Remember it is unwise to go in to premarital corners as we get in to Section 6. Doing so easily divides this group.

Yet when you're there you'll constantly hear "DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO HOLD THAT SEAT YOU'RE IN!?" Um... okay, want me to feel bad about it? Or how about I go tell the company no new hires on the ER, do you mind removing us? Or... how about just hush and let me enjoy this fwiw.

I mean the only reason I am here is become nobody else wants to be here. This isn't 1990 and Delta has evolved. And besides before your jealousy clouds your mind anymore - who's fault is it that nobody wants NYC 7ER B reserve?

Heck, it might take me 10 years before I have the seniority I want in ATL 88 B to move off reserve. In 10 years a 26 year old new hire might be able to hold ATL 88 A within 3 years of being hired. Not their fault. Can't blame them. Can't be jealous either.

As to ATL being senior - it's senior. And we haven't even closed CVG, the other base we promised not to close. :eek:
