Please fill this out and return to me:

Can someone explain the color coded references to me?

NERD went after me a couple of times and I was too unknowing of all the references to even understand until other posters who speak Minnesotan explained it to me. At this point, aren't we plaid?

I'll put a good word in for you. 80 will listen to me. Ok. No he won't. In fact, with my reputation, it's probably better if I say nothing.

Red book guys are pre-merger Northwest.

Green book guys are pre-merger Republic.

Blue book guys are anyone hired at Northwest after the merger in 1986.

Redbook = Former, former Northwest
Greenbook = Former Republic, which, of course, was also former North Central, Southern, Air West (which was also made up of..ah, you get the idea)
Bluebook = Post NWA/REP merger pilots (and apparent source of BBD's angst).

NOT to be confused with

Redtail = Former NWA (see above)
Bluetail = Former DAL (made up of DAL, WAE, PAA, NE, C&S, etc etc)
Purple = Post merger guys

Some guys are crabby that the sun no longer rises and sets in the Central Time Zone. Some other guys are crabby that their Thunderdome experience was rudely interrupted by other events. Some other guys are being real grumpuses because "us" actually means "you and me" and not "you just listening to me".

I really can't believe we're still talking about this. Sheesh.

I definitely get tired of the pre-merger color coding. Then again, politics annoy me to no end as it is. It appears to be 90% of what bigbusdriver knows what to talk about as it is.

I believe in this case, FDAL is "blue" and FNWA is "red," thus the "purple" references.

Blah blah blah, constructive engagement. We'll see how kingsley does. I'm just glad I got to cast my vote and he was elected by the majority!
