Apparently it was not "the love of Dick Anderson" that got Pinnacle the 16 900s..

Anderson was not CEO yet, but WAS on the Delta Board of Directors at the time.

Hey Juice...Did you ever hear any of the "Cause I'm the Juice" skits on the Kevin and Bean show on KROQ in the LA area? It's sooo damn funny, although I haven't heard them do one in forever. Basically they pretend to have OJ call in (it's someone else who sounds like him, of course) and admit to doing all kind of stupid and/or illegal things. He then justifies getting away with it all by saying "Cause I'm the Juice." Hilarious...
