Honestly, they have to. The matrix in the PWA is hard limited. If we chose to amend or not enforce it, that's our will, but I do not expect either. Of note, not one 76 seat jet has been ordered as of today.

Here is a question for a contract guru. If you have vacation in a month where all you do is international flying, do you get paid the international override for your vacation hours? Now, this may seem like an instant "NO" but I was thinking how the MD88/90 is paid by how many hours you get on each plane. I believe reserve guarantee is paid on a percentage of how much 88 vs 90 time you have in a month. I'm curious if this also holds true for the international override. Probably not but wondering.

Heard over the radio just north of BrasZil: "Santo crap! Que caro Hebreo control remoto avión nuevo! Digo a los chicos Delta a subir, no, no, desciende, crap, montaña, aviones no tripulados, correr, rápido, ejecute"
Really, not sure I want to fly with these things ...

The changes were nearly too close to measure and the economics were compelling for most. I voted yes, no, yes, no and was counted as a "no." However, I'd have probably changed it again if the window was another 24 hours. There were probably a lot of us on the fence on C2012. But, given that it passed and many seem happy with it ... well let Mr. Sheen explain:

When holding the door for a F/A is actually rude:

Is the ladder so you don't have to walk all the way around and up the jet way to ride the slide again? Do the "Slater"
