I agree, after AMR settles the US will have 4 large airlines and a few smaller ones.

This is interesting. Apparently other creditors think DAL providing DIP financing to Pinnacle should not be allowed.

That doesn't bother me.
What bothers me is the sales job where everything is roses and concessions are downplayed. This is where being your own best expert is important...If you dont read it how can you know if its better or not?

Ahhhh. The sales job. It was particularly a hard sell during BK, wasn't it? Never forget a particular 44 rep and his feverent lounge shows where they were occasionally over the decorum line.
If I remember correctly, for POS 96, there were official pro-con papers put out by DALPA. Then the policy manual was changed at some point in time to do away with the con paper. For C2K, an industrious individual worked dilligently and put one out comparing the contract gains (green print) with give aways or losses in red.
I would love to get a copy of it now. Mickley, you out there??
Anyway, this time around, 12 years later, I am not sure we need a "sanctioned con paper' as we have this. The internet, mass communication on an instant scale, and the one thing that really scares DALPA, the might APC. This is one forum they can't pull the plug on as BH threatens to do to the DALPA forum. Look at what social media what did for Arab Spring.
So, point being, there will be the sales job and they will be out in force promoting it. They will most definitely be here constantly hitting there talking points. But, I don't think it will have the same impact as it had before.
And instead of waiting weeks for pro-con papers, the debate and dissection of the TA will be instant.

I think they are 'Tools', but what's new?
Tomorrow at 9am, call DALPA scheds guys, see if they can help.
And remember, common sense is an uncommon commodity...

They always cut to the chase and allows you to turn around and say "but, but I thought you said..."
It's almost as much fun as match the criminal with the item they stole!

I would say cover both bases by typing "Hear Here" But since you asked.
Scoop
Hear Hear or Here Here?
So today I found myself agreeing with someone online and went to type “hear hear” but then remembered seeing someone else type “here here” a couple days earlier.
I was pretty sure the correct phrase was “hear hear” as opposed to the other variants I'd seen (“here here”, “hear here”, “here hear”) but I'd never actually looked it up. So I decided to check popular internet usage using Google:
- “hear hear” = 1,740,000 hits
- “here here” = 3,880,000 hits
- “hear here” = 307,000 hits
- “here hear” = 334,000 hits
Hear hear (Wikipedia):
…Hear, hear is an expression used as a short repeated form of hear ye and hear him. It represents a listener's agreement with the point being made by a speaker.
It was originally an imperative for directing attention to speakers, and has since been used, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, as “the regular form of cheering in the House of Commons”, with many purposes depending on the intonation of its user. It is often incorrectly spelled “here here”, especially on websites…
A quick double check of OneLook Dictionary Search confirms this. Six dictionaries list “hear hear” and only one lists “here here” (and that one happens to be the wiki article above.)…Hear, hear is an expression used as a short repeated form of hear ye and hear him. It represents a listener's agreement with the point being made by a speaker.

Popular usage drives the movement of meaning, though, so at some point in the future “here here” may end up being the correct phrase if we don't do something about it.
So if you want to avoid yet another English colloquialism that will have your great grandchildren scratching their heads and saying “***?” (or whatever kids will be saying in those days) then type “hear hear” at every opportunity.
