There is another joint by the Baymont (Travel Lodge now I think) on the other side of the field. Your wife wouldn't like it much though.
You commute with the ball and chain?

Ahhh. The memories. I always did like the Best Western or Travelodge across the street before they tore it down. You had Shoeless Joe's, a Micky Ds, and that Pine Grove restaurant. What more do ya need? Good times (not really)

I believe I'll run that victory lap with the big dogs AFTER scoring with the prom chick....."as part of the NPDM process, we've discussed closing the DEN 76T".
This is HUGE, fellas. HUGE. 30/30 is just round 1. Remember....NO BUMP. NO FLUSH.

jsled- Many of us don't have a problem with the "flush"! We just have a problem with someone like you that celebrates in it! You may have scored with the 'prom chick' but, you sure are the "prom #ick!" Remember, many pilots from BOTH legacies will have their lives affected greatly, maybe in the coming weeks try to show just some class!!

Me thinks Jeff Nooger and Jay Heppner just jumped out from behind the stands and tripped you halfway around the track. No victory lap for you yet as the MEC will try and ensure there will be no secondary bumps-i.e. "no flush". You just got "JIT'ed". From the SSC:

In addition, although you have stated there are plans in place to ensure the training problems experienced last winter do not repeat themselves, the SSC sees the potential for great disruption due to training issues. As such, the SSC recommends that there be no displacements from any 737 category.

I think he was repeating the obvious. The company hasn't been able to handle the training requirement over the past year and with massive displacements and bumps it would only get worst.

You wouldn't expect to see secondary bumps in the 737 anyway. It's the only growing fleet. Guys will be stuck being pushed down the 737 list until they bid off. In the long run it'll save the company money at the QOL expense of the junior guys.

And flying monkeys will spray unicorn dust from above preventing any 737 displacements.....Simple math says that there will be secondary and and beyond bumps on the 737. Just like simple math foretold this displacement several years ago.

The one and ONLY thing that will prevent bumping in the 737 fleets is the gross incompetence of this management "team" and their inability to straighten this out before retirements backfill surpluses. And I wouldn't bet that they aren't going to mess this up so bad that it can't happen.

Maybe you could make me a new Baghdad Bob? Along the lines of...

No need for Secondary's

Growth is the Answer or Incompetence is the Answer or The JIT has the Answer. Pick a caption.

Thanks
