Lol, it's funny how I can't remember names but I can remember the places people commute from. I'm getting old...

No. It's been done for a few years. They started a prequel called Caprica that explained how the Cylons came into being, but then they cancelled it just when it was getting good. They are in the process of developing a new series called Blood and Chrome which takes place during the first Cylon war when Adama was a young viper pilot. Should be coming out later this year or early next year.

I've go the whole BSG series on DVD and it's available on NetFlix. The last two seasons are phenomenal!!! Without a doubt the most creative and imaginative series I've ever seen. The best thing is it's not your typical SciFi series. I love how it takes place in space but it's not about space. And they run out of ammo, fuel, food, etc... The show is literally about the characters and I think that's what made it so good.

Paok: Nothing was sent via Comair email yet.
The separation dates will be released after August 22, but not later than August 25.

Company memo is out - No bidding required for separation dates.

All 91 pilots who took the early out are done January 2, 2012 (Jan 1 is a Sunday).

I guess that means the next round of furloughs can start January 3.

What this really means is that Delta will not discontinue Comair's flying after the summer, and by a majority of the CR7/CR9 going to ASA, he means that 12 CR7s are going from ASA/SKW to GoJet.

And since Comair's old 70s are going from ASA to GoJet, it follows that Comair pilots will be added to the Compass list.

Failblazer's predictions are still coming true, even a year after he didn't say they would happen.

Is the memo on EPIC somewhere? I haven't been able to find it? Thanks in advance.
