It's all cyclical... Good thing Wally Schirra didn't pull the D ring. (Obscure reference unless you are a space nut..)

Nah, I'll flow. Will just have to save the Dom Pérignon for my fifth year anniversary, when I can finally afford it ;).

In all seriousness, DAL is still my number one choice and I'll be very grateful when (if?) I'm given a flow class. But that joy will be tempered by the knowledge that with the current stagnation I'll be very junior for a long time, the MSP base will probably go the way of DFW eventually, and most of the enthusiasm for a restoration contract seems confined to the (non-DALPA) posters on this board. But hey, I'm a "plan for the worst and you'll never be caught with your pants down" kind of guy...maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised by the future at DAL. :)

Hey, If the 72 is back, I'll bid it.

Heh not a space nut but recall something about Schirra not ejecting when he was supposed to after a booster shut down on a Mercury or Gemini launch? Yep, everything's clear in restrospect....

I often read this board and walk away with a much more negative feeling than I should. There's a ton of good info here don't get me wrong but sometimes I don't think things are as bad as some posts here would lead you to believe. Point is take some stuff with a grain of salt. JMHO.

Good advice, Thanks :).

It will make you love the MD88 even more, trust me.

Just when I declare MSP the new "west" coast hub, they keep moving the line in the sand... sigh, when am I gonna get back to the real west coast??

For you junior guys thinking the -9 in ATL will be your salvation from a 15 year upgrade, forget it.

I predict that it doesn't go below 8000. Too many guys dealing with too many fogies for too long. Bet it goes way more senior than you think.

Nu

Yup.. it was the rendesvous flight in Gemini. The thing shut down after it had already lit off!! He was one steely eyed missile man. Probably one of THE decisions that got us to the moon when we did..
