Try to show a bit more respect, it's not like VA is doing something no one else has done.

If you want to bash somebody bash Ted Kennedy who took the lead on deregulating the airlines and Carter for signing the act. BTW, TK did say years later that deregulating the airlines was a big mistake.

Are they still actively interviewing and hiring? are they the only stand alone airline hiring? had a conversation with a buddie yesterday who also is looking for a job, he mentioned they have been the only outfit hiring in this range over the past 3 months.

The problem is the numbers don't lie, and that goes for every airline. simple math, revenue - expense = maybe a job for a while.

They have a great product, everyone was very nice and professional when I flew on them last year. If they can maintain and fuel remains lower they could pull it off.

Till I break wind in your general direction? Already happened.

Till we start SNA? Tomorrow, the 29th.

Till our first three guys go to star fleet academy? Don't know, maybe soon.

Till SRB let's me have full use of Nekker Island for my next vacation? He hasn't gotten back to me on that one yet...
