And at Delta, a 777 used to pay a lot more than a 747 at NWA, we need to move back toward that "Delta Dot", no?

Geeez dude!

Now a palate cleansing for us:





I know Jesse would have wanted it.

There is a S&W pilot deal, but I have no details.

Also check out Bud's Guns in Lexington (The LEO website, not the public website) They have good "Law Enforcement" deals for anyone with a commercial pilot certificate. Note that the prices are already discounted and include free shipping to your hometown FFL. Discount Guns for Law Enforcement by Buds Gun Shop (budsgunshop.com)

That should get you started anyway.
Glock discount no longer applies for pilots. You can still get a discount for active and retired military though.

We're not talking about when we were separate airlines with many different work rules and contract sections. We're talking about NOW that we're one airline. And now that we're one airline, we already have significant pay banding. That's a fact.

Yes, but NOT if it requires such a wholesale collapse on scope. Those pay rates are fine as long as we achieve a path within the next contract's time span where we also achieve SWAPA's scope.

One more cleansing just to be sure:






Can't be too careful.

Thanks USMC, I should mention that my information is dated. Serves me right for going off memory rather than the Intrawebs.

Not sure how to feel about that rock on her finger, though?

That's hilarious!!

I left out one other trait. They are very obedient and conformative. When they travel over land and ice, they stay in a single file line never straying. This is known as The March of the penguins.

Additionally, as soon as the female lays an egg, the male dutifully without fail squats on it for about 65 days while the female leaves. He is then relieved when the female comes back in time for the hatching.





So, does this sound like they share any traits with any particular group that sometimes frequents here and Herndon?
