Then again, if you've been here 4 years you should definitely go. You're senior to me.
A happy momma makes a happy home. Just sayin.

This reminds me of a Will Rogers quote.
"There are two strategies to arguing with a woman....neither of them work".

Add to that an ANC commute and starting over again. I know this guys wife pretty well and she is a damn good divorce attorney in real life and has already had it with the airlines, and from what I hear wants to work less and is not too found of making another life change that will chase pie in the sky to see it change yet again and delay her chance to stay at home with the kids......
Just wonderin.....

Anyone know when the new category list from the 15Nov AE will come out? The last one came out 5 days later (20 sep for the 15 Sep results). I'm thinking 23 Nov results + 5 = 28 Nov, some holiday delay... Today?
'course I already added and subtracted all the awards above/below me, and fingered out that I drop 4 more seniority spots, but it seems I'm always off a bit due to furlough/mil leave returns/sick/etc. that I don't know about, so nice to see it in writing from the company.
"When's it gonna be the AE cat results?"

I have family that left AirTran right after the SWA announcement to go to FDX..Many questioned his decision then, but now he looks like an absolute prophet........we all know the future for ANY carrier can change on a dime,

There is a fundamental difference between airlines like Alaska and Jet Blue, who will fight in the marketplace and those who are simply trying to survive. The survivors are more likely to undergo life saving surgery.
