More on our one flight that took off 2 minutes over the 3 hour rule cutoff.

United will test new tarmac delay rules - chicagotribune.com

I'm thinking its a pretty clear cut case of ATC blocking our ability to return the airplane.

How are our bookings going through the rest of the summer and fall looking? I keep running into more and more negative business news stories and trends as I troll through them.

The "money people" in my neighborhood, every one of them, tell me they've put all their holdings in cash for the last 1/2 of the year.

NOT a good sign.

The airlines are usually months ahead of the rest of the market. It will continue to remain flat or get better. The worst is behind us.

It's likely a lot of people are being conservative with their investments because they got burned so hard in 08/09.

Side Question:

I was just awarded SLC320B on the last AE. As I understand it, my 24mo seat lock begins on the date I wad awarded the position.

The position I would really like to get is SEA76B. Since that position is a new position and will not have converted by the next AE, can I bid it and get out of my seat lock because it will be concidered a new position?

Fair criticism, but they all have nicer cars, bigger toys, estate homes and wives that make the girls posted in this thread look not-so-hot.

NOT that this is any way to measure success, and they could all be one paycheck away from bankruptcy, but....I'm just sayin'...

Reserve question:

Do we get credit for a short call if it is acknowledged. Then they assign you a trip after you already acknowledged short call but don't ever actually sit short call?

I ask because I had credit for a short call removed and didn't realize it until now.

I can't find anything in the contract. Thanks.

Yeah Nu, back up your words with some pictures.



As we figured out in college, wealth breeds beauty.
