Honestly, I recommend no handguns, they can only get you into trouble. I like the home modifications to double barrelled shotguns, they are effective.

Exactly. At Delta, an 870,000 pound airplane pays the same as a 620,000 pound airplane.

Awww shucks, I thought I was invited to the party. I guess you only want people of the same mindset posting in here? Sorry, didn't see that in TOS. Must be widebody syndrome. If you don't like someone's opinion tell to go pound sand huh? 777 and 747 hell of an echo chamber.........

Check your time card. It probably says you have 90 hrs of pay, not 90 hrs of credit. You can only deposit "credit" hours above 80. I also don't think you can deposit your vacation credit in the bank.

That question had never been settled, because it had never been asked before from an airline in bankruptcy. Since it was unsettled law, the courts acted. A PEB and possible follow-on action by the Congress IS settled law. Even though the Congress has never done it before, they could. But that's beside the point of people here trying to frame a strike as an impossibility. It's just not true. The NMB is not a total blocking agent...witness the Spirit strike. PEB's do not stop a strike...it can only delay it a maximum of 60 days. Congress can intervene and impose a contract on a union...but they've never done so in history (that I know of anyway).

I don't think so...From my research so far I've been told that is all I need! I haven't ruled it out yet...
