I appreciate the effort but that is silly.

Tell the SEC Treas to FO and he should have stayed an FO is he wanted to save so much money.

I spoke to a guy who had Robin in his JS for his IOE check ride. They discussed this rumor, and Robin catigorically denied that there was any possibility of it happening. Based on that alone, I'd say there's a 85% chance that the offer has been made and accepted.

I would not trust anything mgmt says about a merger or acquisition until it is stated publicly. Anything before that is just rumor. I'll believe a merger when I see it.

Question - are we getting per diem for recurrent at the Lodge? To justify the miserable one choice highly refined carbohydrate mac and cheese and chicken leg $12 dinner? Or the $8 powered egg breakfast. I see the "deal" here. Lots of low nutritional value bulky food for the price ("but you get a dessert and soda for that"). Gee thanks, tack on an order of diabetes after three days would ya? First time here . Can't imagine 6 weeks here for initial. Better choces at the Hampton Inn in Boston. No need for shuttle: good. Miserable choices as far as meals go. Because the deep fried tilapia in coconut butter or the chihuahua looking pork loin with 2 cups of white rice is the bomb. Well actually the kielbasa special covered in gravy is the bomb for a 4 hour sim. Let's just open a White Castles and call it a day.

Yes we do get per diem while at recurrent. Salad bar at the lodge for breakfast/lunch/dinner. Yay!

I see that you have a strong grasp on sarcasm.

They will feed you some crappy sandwiches and show you a depressing PowerPoint with retirement numbers that make you question why you're at jetblue...

I really liked the food at the lodge for the most part. Some days the selection was not that great, but for the most part it was decent.
