I own the big house where the tree house is located in my backyard. You must have a K/D ratio of at least 1.5 to hang with the big boys in the big house.

 

My K/D ratio on black ops is 2/1, you think I can come over? I'll bring my own controller!

 

If your running a 2/1 K/D with no modded controllers or any other hack gimmicks your welcome in the hedonistic playground that is the big house. Hehe Gave up the BLOPS2 profile to my roommate. (2.3) Don't know what the KD is now but he sucks. Playing Ghosts now and running around 1.2, Started badly (big maps) but it's slowly coming up after up grading internet to 17mps.

I'm Playstation, The_Aficionado and streetbrawler73

 

But really, months of Reserve have gotten me really good at COD black ops. Lol.

 

Yes, I would be playing tournaments for supplemental cash if I was on reserve. Oh, and not flying.

 

Rumor is AA/US is tired of the W/B restrictions of Skywest's 200's. Coincidentally Hawaii's 200's W/B changed soon after US complained about Mesa never having this problem. Now 1000lbs of ballast and bumped passengers in Hawaii are now the norm. Skywest also has a 20 min break in hub between flights. Parker loves those tight schedules with quick turns and Skywest's contract allows them to take a break. (Skywest folks tell me if I'm wrong)

Phoenix downsizing is the rumor. But with no more slots at LAX and SFO competition with United I would think PHX would be a huge loss to give up. PHX to all the LA area suburbs are always full. But look at LAS, what do I know, I don't count the beans.

EMB I know will have internet, not sure about TV's. United's CEO said he wants to bring back luxury and class to the airlines. (VX) And customer service, that's when I laughed my ass off after flying in the United system for so long deadheading on United flights. I wrote this quick because the long form made me log in again and it didn't post.

 

Are we reading too much into this? Didn't the email explain they were there to "fight to protect our industry" "from companies that would play international agreements and evade labor laws."?

Idk. Whatever ALPA.

 

I don't read ALPA mail. I thought bluer might have tried to contact our MEC and was told he was in Norway. Yes some "Cabotage" type meetings going on there right now. Mostly maritime industries but could in the long run affect aviation. I would imagine cheap foreign labor that cannot organize a union would decimate ALPA and other unions. But, after ALPA agreed to sign off on PSA's concessions and that contract is running down the line of ALPA backed carriers. They might of signed there death nail way down the road. No decent intelligent American will come and spend all that money on flight training to start a career at these wages they have implemented. Especially if the hiring trend slows again via the economy or an age 67 rule implementation.

 

Well, that would be quite the interesting rumor seeing as how our 200's rarely have w/b restrictions...Per US Airways fuel policy we tanker/roundtrip fuel on every US Air flight. This occasionally only causes a weight restriction on flights to FLG as fuel is only available certain hours and US would rather us bump people and tanker gas then pay the ridiculous price for jet fuel in FLG. As far as the Eagle flying, again rarely are those weight restricted. We all know the 200 is prone to this and it will happen on some flights to EUG at night when an alt is required, but again weight restrictions are very few and far between.

 

Oh, well that is what the gate agents were telling me in PHX a few years ago when I was based there. Are the leases up on the 200's? Is it in Skywest's contract to give pilots a 20 minute duty free break in hub? I hear Airwyays wants to get rid of the Skywest 200's out of PHX. What are ya hearing over at Skywest?
