Not a Tebow guy (saw too much of him in the SEC) - but now with the missed xtra point, he'll score the 2 pt conversion with seconds left in the game.

Actually, the "fence sitters" do more damage to unity than anyone else.

Shat or get off the pot, fish or cut bait. Not enough doers, too many drama queens.

Finally after the Bucs and Giants failed, the Chiefs showed how the all mighty @&*$Packers can be beat. (die hard 49ers fan here).

Seriously!? Have you not heard this before? It is a tired and often used statement used by them when they do just this with RJ's.

Difference is that it is exponentially more grating when DALPA picks it up and parrots it.

You probably haven't been around long enough to hear this one used with frequency. However, soon you too will figure out you are climbing the burning rope courtesy of DALPA and our sub par scope section.
You're correct, I haven't been with the company that long...so this is a common tactic. That's why I've already sent my card in.

Sadly, I have been here long enough to see mainline jets that were constantly full into and out of Montana replaced by RJ's.

I have never seen a market that started as RJ only then become a mainline only market.

It is a myth kind of like the 100 seat jet that occasionally the company claims to want. They already had those, pay rates too, and then they got rid of them.

The idea of developing markets with RJ's is like a unicorn. It's not reality.

Maybe, and then again maybe Lucy will actually let Charlie Brown kick the football this year. Then again, Nahhhh, not too likely.

Can't blame the company - they are going to push SCOPE and every other part of the contract as far as they can.

If we, meaning DALPA, DAL Pilots, you, me, him etc do not weigh SCOPE appropriately, then we can expect more of this.

That, of course, begs the question: Why does DALPA keep trying to sell us this crap based on this myth?

I guess the best hope we have is that a no vote is cast on the next contract unless it has scope recovery
