For those of you using Crossover with Easybid. I would highly recommend that you NOT install the new version of Crossover. I installed it last night (after receiving an email from Crossover suggesting I should) and it has been a complete disaster. Easybid is more difficult to use now (requires extra clicks to accomplish the same thing) and I can no longer upload bids (I get a message saying there is a problem with the PBS web site's security certificate).

Stick with the old version. I sure wish I had!
UPDATE: (if anyone cares)

I was able to uninstall the new version of Crossover (which also uninstalled Easybid and Internet Explorer 7). I was then able to reinstall the old version of Crossover (the one that worked) and reinstall Easybid and Internet Explorer 7. Everything is as it should be now (except my pay check ).

Lesson learned: If you're using Crossover with Easybid, don't install that new version of Crossover. Save yourself the time and frustration and stick with the old version that works.

This has been a public service announcement.

You bet. At the end of the process, we'll get to vote on a TC (Tentative Concept). Then we'll get to look and see what the new scope concept is, and if we can live with the pay concept.

This is just amazing. You haven't exchanged openers until you've exchanged the exact data that you are demanding. That goes for both sides. If DALPA is attempting to portray an exchange of opening "concepts" as the real Section 6 opener exchange, that will be very telling.

I don't know how grown men fit in those things though.
People were smaller back then. I can't remember where I read this, but the most commonly issued A2 jacket size in WW2 was 36! My dad instructed in those(actually standing outside of those) and he was a small guy also.

Carl
Actually that is how Delta has generally done it in the past, and for the most part it has worked out better than whatever NWA was doing.

BTW, I thought for sure the quote: "I was unavoidably detained......." would amuse Carl Spackler of all people, surely you haven't forgotten?

Ya know, that just gave me a random thought.

The average height man today is 5'10"
The average height of a pilgrim male was 4'10"
Goliath was /is portrayed to be 9' tall - height was measured in cubits (the average length of a forearm). I'm thinking he was 6'5"

Back to picking apart the chairman's letter - which BTW did seem to portray that we may have some leverage - today.

Oh I am sure he will have some "justification" to prove he didn't say what we all know he said...

They are the ones that will now change their plan of attack to that of.. well.. attack dog.. "It isn't ambitious enough" "We only asked for THAT????" I can hear the outrage now...

Suffice it to say, no crow will be eaten, no contrition will be offered.

If DALPA gets the contract we demand, AND NOT BEFORE, I will be first in line to eat that crow. We're a LONG way from that right now.

So in the words of Mr. Wolf, "Let's not start sucking each others' d!cks quite yet."
....and yet another classy post. thanks for sharing your insipid thoughts.
