We know that flying would still exist, just at the mainline level, where there could be unity between small-jet and big-jet drivers.

Good post.

Anything over an hour in an RJ sucks from a PAX point of view, no matter how big the number is after the dash.

I was curious since it says we have 0 furloughs on here. Thought maybe they all went to Emirates or something.

I am thinking Ann Arbor or Novi areas, as I don't really want to be in the hood. I have a lot invested in tools & toys, so a safe area is a must. Just starting my search, so if you have any ideas, post or PM.

Thanks

I haven't moved up there yet but I am looking and my wife and I really like Novi. It is not as trendy as Ann Arbor, but it has some unique places to eat and drink. Novi is close to other nice areas like Northville and even Plymouth. I'm going to check out Royal Oak soon. If you don't mind gays I've heard it is a really cool area to be.

The deadline to extend the bypass has past. DAL has sent out notices to those that have not filed paperwork stating they have an intent to return when hiring resumes. Those that turned down that offer have been removed from the seniority list.

Nothing shocking here.

I think you're saying this is what happened. Correct?
