Well, the downside is that you may be forced back to emb175 fo instead of getting furloughed. I would rather have the option to flow down to that position or get furloughed, that way i am not forced into a job i cannot pay the bills with.

I think our JCBA has pay rates for the E175 that are much better than what Compass is getting currently. Not sure, don't have the contract yet.

I am the Stig, no one else can be. The Stig would NEVER drive on 3 year old tires. Although TG could probably make a new section to the show and put 3 1/2 year old tires on the fastest cars and see how fast a lap time I could cut with them.

Some say that his first name really is “The,” and that if he went on Celebrity Love Island, they’d all be pregnant including the camera men… all we know is, he’s called the Stig.

Jeremy: Some say that to unlock him, you have to run your finger down his face, and that if he was getting divorced from Paul McCartney, he’d keep his stupid whiney mouth shut! All we know is, he’s called The Stig.

BBC newsgirl Kate Silverton, 38, said: “He never took his helmet off but he does have nice eyes. I thought he was quite hot!”
.... I am betting the Stig is a pilot.

Amen to that. Whats that Bart Simpson line: "I wasn't good at it right away so I quit."
...

On another note, so wow, the reason that Delta will not bring Compass into the fold is because training costs will increase?

I totally didn't know that Compass wasn't charging Delta for the cost of training their pilots, I guess they currently pay for it out of the companys profits.

Wait, Compass is a nonprofit right? Because we better not be funding their entire airline plus paying them a premium. Because wouldn't that'd be more expensive than just taking their jets, pilots and maybe a few of their support staff?

Oh I get it, pilot salary and work rule costs will go up if Compass is rolled into Delta. Wow, I didn't know Delta wouldn't pay for that! I forgot they didn't increase pay and improve work rules for all 330 pilots from Northwest... or was that 5,000 pilots? I can't remember, either way I guess you can say there is no track record for doing that.

But all we know is that, you were driving the bugatti veyron too slow and, he's the Stig.

Some say when he got his license he was in the Batmobile. All we know is, he's called the STIG!

some say that under his track suit there is nothing but exhaust fumes and that his heart is an old straight 6 from an 95 carrera...all we know is hes called the STIG!

Some say that he was fed gasoline as a baby and if were to undo his white suit he could spontaneously combust.... All we know is he's called The Stig!
