That sounds awesome! I've been trying to talk one of my DAL buddies to fly down with me from ATL to Browns Seaplane base to get the seaplane rating. Might as well make a little longer getaway and do a little sailing! I really want another sailboat. I live 15 mins from Lake Lanier and it is killing me that I don't have one!

I'm sure he would take you out for a spin if you want to see what the latest, greatest, carbon fiber 20' racing cat looks like, that's his ride. If you do get down to Browns, give me a PM, I'll see if I can get you out on mine.

Wow, this place has sure got quiet after that dust up over the LCA notes. Notes that I might add, have always been passed to the line pilots, who as far as I know, are sharing it with whomever they please. And it's not like the notes contained any state secrets.. come on. We MAY order some planes, we MAY do this or that, etc.
Anyhoo-- Just wanted to say that the memo from Contract Admin regarding the 330 rest arbitration decision was missing one crucial statement of fact. So crucial, that it probably was the foundation of the company's arguments. We'll see if it gets published, but, DALPA has been more than accommodating on the 7ER rest seat debacle, and I mean debacle for many, many years. That seat was never suitable for rest, and the complaints to mgmt and the union were met with deaf ears. Now we have sidewall lights blasting into the (new) 'rest' seat when the FAR clearly states that the curtain will block out light... and DALPA is 'workin on it' Well, I feel so much better now.
The CROT's inability to deal with the substandard 7ER rest seat handed the company just what they needed to do the same to the A330. This is the sort of thing that DALPA used to consider 'leverage'. You know... we'll sign this TA, but we want a bunk, not a seat. Instead it went to the arbitrator, knowing full well the die had already been cast. To me, that's just a very public failure.

For that, I present to you something new here at APCF, a perfectly compliant picture of a naked model.
When I say naked, I mean naked under all of her clothes.

I know....I am frustrated as well. I think the D has been absent all year except for the Vandy game. I would like to see coaching changes as well. Coach Mark is a great guy and a solid winner but nice guys don't ever seem to win National championships. With the talent pool UGA recruits, we should be contenders.

A show on the Discovery channel is talking about "chemtrail" conspiracy. Wow. Now that is science!

Hmm, we are missing some stellar posts aren't we. Where are Jesse's jiggling jubblies?

After that happens, it ain't pretty. Maybe nice guys are too soft?
I mean winning coaches seem to be mean. After all it was Bear Bryant who tortured the junction boys, Colin Cowherd used to play a hissing snake sound in the background as Saban talked and NFL coaches look like they live in dungeons.
Just wait, Bobby Petrinio vs Nick Saban in the Iron Bowl. It'll be really good football. but man, i hope petrino has learned his lesson... about riding motorcycles.
