Slightly off topic.
Anyone own, or have any experience with the new Kindle Paperwhite E-reader, or Kindle Fire HD?
Looking to purchase a Kindle for my Fiancee as one of her Christmas presents, but stumped as to which one I should go with.
Maybe just a "gift card" in the alloted amount able to buy either of her choosing?
Appreciate the opinions, and if Buzzpat is reading this, both she and her family are staunch conservatives, so we will be ordering your books.

The new iPad Mini is going to be my choice for a table though. Good luck in the search!!

I don't agree. Double pay for a GS is a "reward" to the pilot for volunteering to fill in when staffing is tight. Double pay for an IA is a "punishment" to the company for forcing a guy to fly on his days off when he didn't have any request in at all (gate agent meets pilot in jetway, etc).
You could have a provision to limit GS while guys are on the street. If you reduced IAs to straight pay at the same time, the company would be singing hosannahs. Now they would have carte blanche to really screw guys with zero financial penalty.
Bad idea.
(p.s. I've never flown a GS with guys on the street, and average one every four years).

How many greenslips one flies is irrelevant to this discussion, so why don't you leave that out of it. I couldn't care less how many you fly. The point is that you are telling some pilots to forego their contractual rights and the benefits that go with them, and allowing another group to benefit from that. THAT is wrong.
