I don't get it, who's chasing the almighty dollar?

T spends fourty years wondering the desert on a fruitless quest for LBP, and along the way, he is graced with powerful revelations, including this one: thou shalt not poach thy neighbor's base, thereby weakening thy brother's flying. And the coveting therefore shall be forbidden.

I have confession to make. I am beginning to covet my wife.



Is that okay?

Is this a softball, or what?

Who will be the first to say "...it's OK I've been coveting her for years"?

RBF,

The current rules allow for out of base white slips - it is just far down the list. If we relaxed these rules it would be detrimental to the Quality of Life of all Delta Pilots especially the junior guys.

If DAL all of sudden needed less reserves because of a contract change we could either furlough now or remain overstaffed and delay hiring in the future- both negatively affect QOL.

I am not sure how "chasing the almighty dollar' fits into this discussion, if anything in my opinion the out of base guy trying to WS might be the guy chasing the $$$$.

Speaking of people who get no love, I'd hate to be in charge of North Korea's rocket program, right now. A burden soon lifted.

Ready, Aim,...

Multiple stage rocket technology is a really difficult technical achievement.

They need to take some advice from these guys! 20,000 bucks in rocket fuel for under a minute of fun.
