Aw, I thought we had a break-through. We were getting along so well...
Seriously though, I have a whole roll of bubble wrap taking up space in my garage.
Of course it is "socialist" brand, so it doesn't really work. It just sets there and gets more bloated every day, taking up more and more space. I really need to get it out of here before it takes over the whole garage, rendering the garage completely useless. In fact, I think it is trying to unionize my hand tools right now. If course the power tools already do 99% of the work.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go change the prophylactics on my drill bits.

Easy there Lefty, our own ranks include way too many pilots who cycled through a couple of majors before winding up here at NK. Being from a bankrupt carrier isn't a mark of shame; any of us could be there next month. If you have some info to back up the sarcasm please let us have it, but condemnation based upon being beaten up by the airline industry is out of line.
With that said, Spirit showed (again) a disrespect for out pilot group by failing to consider any of us for the position. If the CP really wants us to go the extra mile, he might want to consider treating us as equals instead of the major rejects/freightdogs/losers they apparently think us to be.
In a related issue, I'll bet that the new LAS CP will earn more than the seniority list holding FLL CP (who is reported to be going back to the line because of pay and work load)

It doesn't matter anyway. The end has already begun. Maybe ramrod can wrap himself up in that bubble wrap and save himself...

Frontier CEO sees successful future in Denver, says airline can compete with Spirit
David Siegel, Frontier Airlines' new CEO and president, said Thursday he sees a successful future for the carrier in Denver as it increasingly focuses its operations here, despite rising competition and soaring fuel prices.
"We are very well positioned in Denver and very comfortable with the redeployment of our assets in Denver," Siegel said in an earnings call by Frontier parent company Republic Airways Holdings Inc.
Frontier -- now the No. 2 airline at Denver International Airport -- is facing competition from market leader United Airlines , a growing market presence by Southwest Airlines , and last month's announcement that low-cost carrier Spirit Airlines will begin serving DIA in May.
Siegel, a former CEO at XOJET, Avid Budget and US Airways , was named Frontier's Denver-based CEO in January. Previously, Frontier was run by executives at Indianapolis-based Republic (Nasdaq: RJET).
"We're not afraid of competition," Siegel said. "Spirit's entry [into the Denver market] will, I think, simply refocus us to become an even better competitor."
He quipped that Frontier's Denver passengers should give Spirit a try. "They'll probably do that once," he said.
I hope he knows that competing with NK is the least of his problems on his hands

What is he supposed to say? "I know we're screwed but I'm getting such a good benefit package to come here and run this outfit that I'll be set for life when this place goes belly up."
