You voted yes.

I guess I won this time.
Did you? Are you sure?

I don't think you are. I don't think any of you really are.

I think that deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want that no vote back. You need that no vote back!

man that was some straight forward funny $h!t. What's sad is these guy's come on here with DRAMA (said in a fabulous voice) about tuition payments and braces and say we are the emotional ones. Then they post about credibility by post counts and post that they don't post as much as you post so they are the cooler poster

They were low BEFORE the correction. They are a bit lower now.
As fuel is still the biggest cost item for the company, yes I see it as a good thing. Airplanes run on oil, not stocks.

And as I've got a dozen years before I need that $$ I'm not sweating this correction/overreaction. I had some cash today and did some buying. Finished the day up.
" The best time to buy is when there is blood in the streets"

And as somebody above pointed out it wasn't the pay rates that caused my negative vote. It was the PS reduction and the inability to voluntarily verify sick leave mainly along with the JV provisions.

If profit sharing was a good idea when we weren't making much $$, why is it such a bad idea now. Oh, that's right. Because Wall Street says so.

There is an upside to D Mantooth's posts, there are no Airbus 350 photos or never ending references to Star Trek in them.

You ever seen these MEC folks post on social media? They post and then get excited about how it's going over. It kind of goes like this...



Which is exactly how TA 2015 went down with the MEC yes crowd... until they walked into the SLC meeting.

Exactly, and they would have a much higher post count if they didn't keep deleting their posts and likes on the anti-rocket surgeon posts.
I got to go to the post office now

Man, you're a weird little dude with all those gifs, aren't you?!

Enjoy the Internet, lads, I'm going outside. I do that now and again!

I'll check back in a few weeks. I honestly hope your billion dollar gamble pays off.

Every time I'll go to look at the FO bid awards, I know the gamble will have paid off.
