TWA lawsuit update: ALPA's motion for Judgment Notwitstanding Of Verdict, motion to decertify the class, and motion for a new trial all DENIED today by the court.

All data for the decision on monetary damage due in August.

Surely this had nothing to do with Moak's not signing the UAL pilots' request for release.

Is not signing and refusing to sign the same thing? I think it is. You said he did not sign it.

Or

Why didn't Conoco Phillips start an airline?

But of course, this will work. Trust them.

*Operated by: Monroe Energy.

Dont worry, they will catch on. They only started their airline in '88 or '89.

Well I don't think that if TSA were to go away that pat downs and the like would necessarily leave with them. Security is still a major concern when it comes to air travel. I just want to see the bureaucracy go away. I mean just how many people does it take to perform the duties anyway?? And now they have pensions, God knows how many weeks of vacation they get when they sign on, and if that isn't enough, they want the right to strike... In MCO, don't try to get on the employee bus when there is a shift change. You'd have a better chance of running one up the middle agains the Ravens D-Line...

No.. they don't. Delta uses more fuel than Denmark. Only the US gubbamint uses more from what I understand. If I can find the stat, I'll post it...

I believe RA made that statement when he was on CNBC last week.

Latest rumor... possible TA around the 19th. If so, it will be the fastest I've seen in 24yrs. I'm more than a bit skeptical, but keeping an open mind til I read the final product.
