Don't worry, I didn't even go to the hangar in MEM last month when they were showing it off....

I have been actually...but duck for eventual incoming "that's the same argument guys that cross the picket line use". Not from me though ha ha.

Son goes driving around picking up chicks and impressing them and beating everyone he races, brings home a different girl home every night and thinks he is da bomb. Dad then says "remember who is making the payments on that vette son....."
So he still loves his son, just wants to be sure the son is appreciative, just as Pinnacle pilots love Colgan pilots (group hug in the showers).

I think Lowut is just saying dont wave it in Pinnacle pilots faces that Colgan has the Q (and very few do but there are always the few me me me ones or the ones that don't know history) and not be appreciative of the sacrifices of 9e pilots that got Colgan the Q's....

Okay, so Pinnacle is the father, the Qs are the 'Vette, and Colgan is the son.

I guess that makes Masaba the super hot step-mother!

I'm on the record stating that I will call nobody "Daddy," just too creepy.

Seriously man, that chick is ridiculously hot. God bless the wardrobe department on that show for giving her nothing but low cut tops and skirts to wear.

nah fellas,

No matter what the analogy I refuse being driven on a guilt trip for putting in an application at one airline as opposed to another.

I had a 9E FA on the Light Rail home the other day and she asked me..."so are you ready to come over to Pinnacle"...choosing my words carefully, I said "do I have a choice?'...it is what it is, I'm happy to be employed and would rather see growth, even if its short term, than the ups and downs that have happend at XJ, it could have been alot worse (i.e. Comair)...not much we can do about it now...I realized 9E bought us is probably a blessing in disguise, but they and 9L are for the most part are getting a better contract because of XJ...like I said earlier, no group is going to have their cake and eat it too
