"When you turn on the game, this is what you see, half a dozen Raiders getting clowned by me!"
He's Tebow and he knows it!
Best Tebow song yet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXGsZpbZCrA
Is it too soon to take bets on the upcomming Tebow-Brady slap fight?

12 Days of Deltamas.....
Flying along yesterday in the John Wayne Mad Dog Machine and it hit me that we are less than twelve days 'till Christmas. Think it's high time to celebrate the love that Mother D has for us by singing a joyous chorus....
The first day of Deltamas my comp'ny gave to me
A crappy bank-rupt-cy....
(or, a shrinking Cincinatti)

You know what the civilian guy would ask... so can it do a negative 4G dive or not?

The better Tebow does, the lower their draft position goes, the lesser of the 'quarterback of the future' they can snatch. And boy, if they go 4-12 next year developing a new QB which is often the case with new QBs... oh boy.

Thanks for the laugh Carl!As to the public comment about reaching a deal by the end of 2012 (our amendable date) by the company. What else would you expect them to say in a public statement? I'll believe it when I see it and I'm not holding my breath.

Take your pick. A movie about a 16 year old who steals an F-16, a cinematography masterpiece about an F-14 driver saving the world and setting a benchmark on coolness in flight, a comedy where the pilots are taken out and a yahoo from the back lands the airplane and a horrible boring comedy.
I chose Airplane! I like Yahoos.
But Top Gun I guess would be second.

I watched "The Gauntlet" yesterday. (Old Clint Eastwood movie for those of you that don't know) He went from PHX to LAS, and when he arrived they showed him getting off of a HughesWest banana yellow airplane. Funny stuff right there..... Didn't they get bought by Republic.. and then NWA? Are there any banana pilots left?

Quick Pay Question
Hey guys, trying to save myself a call to mydelta pay analyst...I have 40 hrs credit in January between vacation and CQ training...still owe the company 9 reserve days, will I get paid 70 hr reserve cut in half plus the 40 hr credit for total pay of 70hr/ 2 plus 40 to equal 75 hours? Could have held a 12 day trip trip for more pay and now I am working 13days for less pay....hope vacation credit is improved in this next contract, right now vacation is a liability on the wide-bodies!
