My original post was in response to some one making an observation on slow progression and I had a mini rant on my slow progression as a 2001 DAL hire.

The other poster had mentioned his continued decline and bidding power in ATL. (not on the list as a whole) and I had another little rant concerning my hire groups loss of bidding power in certain bases ATL, SLC, and LAX. I would argue that the MEM guys have had it much worse.

I also made the silly statement about the Western merger which I actually had no information on and have been corrected. I had no idea that there was such massive growth following it. I did apologize for making that statement. I've actually never seen growth.

However, it appears to me. That in certain southern and western bases there has been an influx of pilots that have exercised there right to bid those bases and as a result I have lost a fair amount of bidding power or been displaced.

I guess ultimately i was moving slowing forward up until 2008 with the exception of the half decade on furlough and now with every single bid since 2008 I move backward at least in LAX, SLC and ATL. I would have moved forward in MSP and DTW.

I've got an Iphone 4S, and have been thinking about the GIII for it's bigger screen real-estate. How does it work with I-CrewMax, MicrosoftOutlook calendar/contacts/tasks/notes syncing, and commuting apps like NextFlight?
Battery power and actual phone sound quality/usability ?
Voice command ability (hopefully native and not sent out to some server like Siri!)

Thanks for any inputs!

We are also starting to see different threats from more aggressive types of Termites and other pests, which have not made it into the State in years past.

If you graph NWA's capacity, pre merger, the trend has continued. It infuriates NERD to no end, but if you consider we are run by f-NWA management and have to deal with NWA's network, it is what it is.

We are labor. We did not make the call. We simply have to make the best of the pump and dump engineered by our hedge fund owners ... and I think the employees of Delta Air Lines from ramp agents to Mr. Anderson have done a terrific job making something very good from terrific ingredients.

Guess I should plant some bougainvillea.

Feeling a bit more fringe today, Bar? Yikes.... This is up there with some of your more paranoid and out there posts!


(see, NERD, it's possible to disagree with someone on the internet without turning yourself inside out and blowing a fuse)

She may just have a lemon, but it's hard to prove and she doesn't have much of an alternative other than paying out the wazoo for a different phone. YMMV

Now that the phone has Android 4.1.x (Jelly Bean), the voice recognition should be MUCH improved. Google Now is extremely responsive and understands speech wonderfully. I haven't had any problems with apps crashing, but I'm also running pure Android and not Samsung's version of Android.
