Checks and Balances is a good thing in all fairness to the law.

Now lets get off politics and go back to the Airline Industry. November 8th it will be decided in any event.
you're playing poker where everyone can see your cards. you are screwed, you will always be screwed ,get used to it. keep believing in fairness, i'm sure it will work out for you

The original point I was trying to make is it is in our long term interest to improve our training department. The IT and payroll was a distraction.
Having quality training is a cornerstone to our livelihoods and we should demand it be improved.
It's just as important as LTD or health insurance in the overall picture.

This rule making could really affect spirit sales. Guess it all depends on what 'intrinsic' means...

ATW-"And DOT is conducting a separate rulemaking process to “explore” requiring airlines to disclose an “all-in-one price” on online travel sites, the department said. Fees to be potentially included in the disclosed price are baggage fees, seat assignment fees, and change and cancellation fees. “The idea here is the department is exploring what are the optional services that are so intrinsic to air services that they should be displayed along with the fare [online],” the DOT official said.

That last point is probably the one that had most airline executives taking a sharp intake in breath as it’s a clear stab at airline ancillary fees. Those “explorations” could easily turn into further re-regulation of the industry, effectively dictating how airlines sell their services and products and run their business."

[QUOTE=paidpnuts;2226946]Didn't I read somewhere that SWAPA is pulling their AIP. Because Delta has a TA, they're not about to be bested by Delta. So possibly their price goes up too. Lol! Crazy an airline operating a low cost structure with all 73 will not get paid less then one of our most prestigious airlines.

I support my NC!

I graduated more than 10 years ago. For all you know we are voting for the same person. Congress has much more affect on the economy than who is president or who is on the Supreme Court. They both play a part in our lives but to say that who is in office in January is going to have a vast impact on what our economy does in the next couple years is more naive than anything. Ya wanna know what's rigged, and it's not the election? It's how every piece of legislation that congress puts through is bought and paid for by some group that is self serving. The votes are then bought or the representative votes to enrich themselves through their private businesses. Most congressmen are millionaires. Ask yourself why that is if they make less than $200k/yr serving the people.

That's how the world works

Voting has already begun at WN. The vote closes on the 7th. SWAPA tried to gain sweeteners from perceived leverage in section 1. The company said they will take their chances and nothing was gained. The AIP stands as is. I think it will pass, though I voted no.
