First Greatplains, and now WiseMan. Both telling us (their fellow 'line pilots') how good this deal is and how we can't pass it up. Concerning to say the least.

If it's a great deal, they won't have to sell it.

If you think back about the previous contracts and LOA's, the tougher the sell, the crappier the deal.

Just a thought.

I know I'll read it carefully, then make an informed decision.

Ahhhh... Lewis Black. One funny guy. If you've got the time to get through the commercial and fast forward to about 4:46, might help with the spelling of the word "potato"...

The two of them sound like attorneys to me. How ethical would that be for two attorneys to pretend to being line pilots. Let the attorney jokes fly!

Did you just use "ethical" and "attorneys" in the same sentence?

OK, I'll play: Q- How many lawyers does it take to screw in a light bulb ?
A- Three- one to climb the ladder, one to shake it, and one to sue the ladder company.

I was considering a porcupine/BMW riddle, and a college coed post physical question, but I had some doubts on how they'd fly on APC. If I catch you on a layover, and you're buying, I'll promise to tell.
