Well, you can ski for 2 hours for about $70, then go to the beach to warm up.
I'd hate to try to squeeze lunch in there! Flat Stanley loves it!
But he loved drinking and dancing in Sticky Fingers in Hong Kong even more...

Yet we still have guys only willing to talk about how AMR is a "game changer". The troubling fact is that we have too high a percentage of pilots at this airline that are afraid of their own shadows. I truly believe they are in the minority, but it's still too d@mn high.

And if you want to pitch the PTC angle, say, "It'll be just like PTC, without all the a-holes."

Fly her over there. Take a vacation on the beach, and if you need some people to show you the city, let me know. I know a few ppl over there that have multiple kids, so they can even talk about schools, and like with you gone.
DXB has a much better activities list than PTC

I don't know who Bill heard that from. I wasn't there. But it sounds EXACTLY like the chairman at my base. The former vice chairman (who stepped down due to bidding to NYC) changed his speech depending on the audience. The new vice chairman has been non-committal thus far.

The only portion of the survey I have any knowledge of is some idea of where the pay raise numbers came in at. I have also heard that the overall cost per block hour numbers for 2011 especially between DAL and SWA will be surprising and not in our favor with openers being exchanged. We had a large amount of overtime flying in 2011 combined with the 4 percent raise moved the DAL number up quite a bit more then SW. We are not ahead of them but the difference narrowed a lot.

It will be interesting to see the Company's position on scope. Management has been talking about the 100 to 130 seat market. They admit there is a hole, but that they do not like the available options out there. (They should say they love the 717 and would be willing to pay a ransom for it ... just to screw with SWA's lease renewals
)My contention has always been that management bough two different 100 seat types, we just don't fly them. We might can gauge management's desire for a 100 to 130 seat aircraft by watching their moves on the opener for the 76 to 100 seat flying.
