Exactly.

But DALPA doesn't remind us about this fact. Too busy making excuses and telling us why we can't get what we demand.

We have more leverage than our bargaining agent wants to admit--because then they'd be expected to deliver.

That's a ball buster for sure, but I don't think I've ever seen a three day worth 21:30. Looks like an old ASA trip.

Unfortunately, I think I read that in the Pinnacle BK thread. Looks like those 50 seaters will be around through 2020.

O but thats okay right because the current economic trends will result in 50 seat Rjs pricing themselves out of the marketplace amirite?

I always enjoy reading your perspective on the RJs. This one here is just funny... I'd say you've been proven right. No, but really, I'm sure this is just a double-feint by mgt and the end result will be no 50 seaters, a bowl of soup, and a hug for every mainline guy. I can't wait to get my soup, mmm tastes like Victory!

BUZZ,
finish your workout, go have a good lunch, have two beers, make out with wifey and get a nap. It will all be better tomorrow.

Please purge the thought from your mind, there is nothing good that could come from it. It could have been one of the Khardashians..... not sure what the attraction might be......

Ok, I think I can one-up that!
I'm in the jetway the other day waiting to get on a new a/c, at LAX, waiting for the last passengers to deplane. It looks clear, and I start walking on--and bump into this short hairy troll guy leaving the plane after everyone else. "Whoops, sorry!" say I.
"No problem, good flight" says he.
I walk a step or two then it hits me, and I turn around, "Ron?"
He turns around, "Yes?"
I give him a thumbs up, "Thanks for everything Mr Jeremy." He grins and walks off.

Sometimes I hear guys talking about seeing this athlete or that rapper on their flights and I think, "I would NEVER recognize that dude as even famous." But by god I DO recognize Ron Jeremy, and that man was a TRUE athlete who inspired me in my youth.

But DALPA doesn't remind us about this fact.
Show me a document, Bacon Bits, that D-ALPA has suggested there won't be upcoming retirements? (Or eludes otherwise.) Really, do you even read what you post?

Too busy making excuses and telling us why we can't get what we demand.
Then you better volunteer. If they're "too busy making excuses" in your eyes, our entire Section 6 negotiations & outcome depends on your superior intellect & negotiating prowess to get the the pilot group what we need, & most importantly, gall darnnit, WHAT WE DESERVE!!

We have more leverage than our bargaining agent wants to admit--because then they'd be expected to deliver.
Of course we do, because those black helicopters just never seem to leave you alone, do they Bacon Bits?


Believe it or not Bacon Bits, I've operated a platform, that maintains constant surveillance on bad people doing bad things. <start twilight zone music> WE'RE WATCHING YOU BACON BITS!! <end twilight zone music>

Give the conspiracies a rest for the day or two. It must be exhausting trying to constantly think of places to hide from the truth.

Good day,

GJ
