It would result in a destruction of our NRT hub and a loss of 6 of the 8 nrt US frequencies.

P2P has a good document on it that I believe is on their page.

I would be floored if we put a percentage in there and then limited ourselves to having a published number.

In the front lobby is an ancient WWII era Link Trainer in beautifully restored condition. It really is cool.

I agree completely that it needs to be kept and displayed prominently.
There is one in the Delta museum in Atlanta. Not sure it's "beautifully restored" per se. But it could use a buddy.

I don't know how grown men fit in those things though.

EXACTLY, that's the point I was trying to make.

Most had less than 42 in waists back then.

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.

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.
