Not trying to stir up issues over this, but where do they go from here?

Higher ALV = less pilots required. How many fewer pilots do you want on the seniority list?

I guess "solid improvements" are in the eye of the beholder.

Free Bird,

Can you point to any pilot groups that have above average pay by feather bedding?

Heck I just thought they heard them coming...such a good sound Occasionally a few even dive for cover...that or its just sheer loss of lift by imitating the wing design

What's up with Brees holding out? Hasn't he seen the powerpoint slides prepared by Saints management? What a D.A....if he'd taken the money they were offering back on June 1 he'd have realized huge Time Value of Money returns! Dude needs to see how it's done by reading some airline news: Do like Delta, Drew: take the first offer ASAP!

Guess it depends on whether or not an assessment comes down from the TWA issue.

I'm not very bright. What's feather bedding? I already make 78 hours of credit for 35 hours of actual work...

He should at least hold out to get a cut from the bounty hunter program.
