I was just getting clarification of gatorbird's first statement. I am not sure why captscott26 had to be a parrot? The maturity level on this board is unbelievable.

Yeah Hunter, I was taking more of a dig at captscott. Best of luck with it all... Gatorbird is a reliable source of info if he is who I think he is. Captscott is a good dude too, just a little bit of a punk. Good luck getting on board at Spirit, the job is easy and mostly fun.

Those are two very good reasons to not worry about if/when/where NK is interviewing. These guys are like school in the summer time...

Hey HunterB, I've gotta side with 600 and the CA on this one...if you don't have a sense of humor you probably won't fit in here. We're not rigid; it's just not in our DNA. Most of us come to work, try to have a good time (and a few laughs), chock in and go home.

Don't confuse maturity (or a lack thereof) with a sense of humor. Life's too short dude!

Exactly! wait 'til you meet the funny guys on the negotiating committee! Check out their latest piece of work NK CONTRACT 2010... Its a blast! Great reading for those long 90 block hour months. It will have you rolling! Best thing is, it's available as a FREE download from ALPA, which is a plus since we are still a good 10% BELOW PAY PARITY with our peers.

But the upshot is that we still have great QOL! Rest assured that while your working your monthly five hours of FORCED OVERTIME, scheduling will be denying your float vacation requests, since there is no longer a requirement to approve it with 10% coverage. No limit any more! Wa-hoo!

But seriously, the transition might be great, we'll have to see how the arbitration turns out.

Hey man, take your rant elsewhere and quit hijacking every flippin' thread. You don't approve of the contract- we get it. You printed up the 26er lanyards- we get it. You have a personal vendetta against Matyas, Slotten and Pyhel- we get it. You'll be a miserable $&@" until the amendable date- we get it. Will you shut the heck up now?!

RELAX! Life is too short dude!

It's all about the humor remember?


And how dare you call me an ampersand? I may very well be an at symbol, definitely a dollar sign, but an ampersand? You sir, have crossed the line. I am officially removing you from my Christmas card list.
Good day sir.
