Most of the comments, and yes they are unsolicited, come from people hired since the merger.

For a minute I thought you were going to remind us that our engines weren't big enough. Thank gawd, I've just recovered from engine envy counseling.

Ok sleeves, knotcher, baseball, kilder, mitch rapp05, etc... Have at it. This has to be the MEC covering their tracks, right?

May SSC report:

The second subject you raised is IAH 737 staffing in relation to the fleet optimization plan you previously shared. As far as the overall 737 fleet is concerned, the SSC sees a greater need due to regular aircraft deliveries and future growth. In addition, future network forecasts may better show the true optimization plan as it gets closer to summer 2016. The SSC recommends that there be no displacements from the IAH 737 Captain category and there should be FO vacancy bids to rebalance the category between Captain and FO. If you make the decision to displace, despite our recommendation we suggest it be done in a way to allow adjustments for more accurate planning models in the future.

That's just what they want us to think.

So the company is going to displace and the IAH pilot hysteria (no coffee scene in Airplane!) is valid... and the SCC is full of it....

Is this what you guys are saying?

No, it was complete sarcasm.

Did I say that out loud? I mean yes, that's exactly what I'm saying.

Happy the Union is doing the job we pay them to do. Maybe the Houston Leadership pushed them a bit, maybe they did it because they are pros. Personally, i expect to be displaced and will roll with it. But i expect the Union to be a check on the Company's Manpower Planning who seem to have the focus and vision of a teenage girl ordering an appetizer at TGIF after a few Red Bulls.

"Can I change my mind if I already ordered and tried it?"
