Jamie doesn't expect Delta at $17:50. He expects his year end bonus. That's the problem the 99% have with the 1%'ers. They lie.

Just to keep it in perspective, if you make I believe $34,000 you're in the top 1%... of the world. We live in a country where we out drinking water on our grass and make houses for our cars.

When it comes to money, don't trust anyone Whether they're 1%, 10%, 50% or 99%. Especially Warren Buffet, man wants you to pay more taxes and owes back taxes and now owes hundreds of millions in Netjets taxes and doesn't want to pony up.

I was with you until the last sentence. Nearly every business person lies to increase their wealth. We live in a corrupt world and it is universal to anything to do with money. It has nothing to do with the stupid 99%/1% thing.

Pretty hard core.


My buddy who owns a junk yard sells every catalytic converter to one guy for $150 per. Every one. He told me yesterday that if you want him to fire you, all you have to do is steal a catalytic converter.

I was in there asking him about a catalytic converter yesterday for one of my mr2s - it got stolen and the cheapest one on ebay was $400. I bought a header and downpipe instead - price with delivery $96.

Regret selling my completely stock MR2 this year. We moved and I no longer had a "house" to put it in.

It is just that Jamie forgets the reasons AMR went bankrupt and that other market trends encapsulate the real world that airlines' customers live in. If our management said this Eliott Spitzer would move his base of operations to the Pink Pony, run for Solicitor General and throw Ed Bastian in jail.

Wall St. has not common sense or accountability ... this proves it.


Bucking Bar,

The simple solution is to never listen to anyone's price targets. Analysts predictions are usually BS. Once in a while, they get lucky. If you learn how to read an option chart properly, the option market will tell you what is probable. It's just not that difficult. Don't waste your time on these guys.

I thought it was a pink thong when we're on short call. I gotta look it up in the PWA, but that's a big contract!

Speaking of Korean, What do they pay their contract Capts?

My understanding is they have a "commuting" base in the US. I had heard a number (a big #), but I wanted to see if it was true.

Contract guys make around $16,000 per month, but I've seen contracts as high as 18,000. You can commute from any US base where Korean flies international. ATL, JFK, LAX, SFO, ORD, etc and they give you a positive space business class seat both ways.

That is probably the first serious incident/accident we’ve seen since everyone’s training has been dumbed down to almost zilch.

That's like the current philosophy of doing a QRH item by memory even though said procedure is not a QRH memory item. The concept is that you can accomplish the a QRH procedure by memory only if you are absolutely sure, and if your wrong your in trouble.

I'm all for making things easier, but gimme a break here we could use a few more memory items in our checklists.
