8. Is often heard humming "Off we Go" to himself while strolling through the PAX Terminal.

Just Kidding my Esteemed Air force Friends, Unfortunately, this applies to some of my Marine and Navy members too. :)

11. Uses a picture of an F-15 as his avatar even though he's currently a 777 first officer and hasn't flown an F-15 in years.

Someone flunked aircraft recognition 101 at Riddle! :D:rolleyes:;)

PS...Those are F-4s in my avatar and I haven't flown them since 1988! Everyone wishes they could have flown that bad-@ss plane.

See to me that looked like a mig-29. See the vents on top of the inlets?

Actually, in my case that is true. It was the F4 that got me interested in Nasal Radiation. As a matter of fact, the last time the Blue Angels were awesome was when they flew that airplane.... lots of smoke... noise.. and it looked mean and fast just sitting on the ground... and of course proof that anything can fly with a big enough engine. So I wound up living Maverick's nightmare... flying rubber dog doo out of Hong Kong.

That is my point and yes I agree with Carl(Ugh, not again:eek:), and it may be a question we all have to ponder in the near future.

It will be a matter of how much leverage we think we have versus the gains offered.

I've been through multiple Sec. 6 trips, and without fail it took anywhere from 18-24 months. IMHO it is matter of finding your personal "sweet spot" between being frozen in "status quo" with no gains for that time or getting an immediate gain. That number varies for everyone, DYODD.

I'd like to see a summary document that outlines the history of NW and DL negotiations with simply the time between amendable date to signing of agreement, and the increases earned. (it might be in the contract history, I'll look at it and see... If so I'll do a summary for everyone here.)
