Ha! The Southern Baptist good ol' boys are in for a rude awakening with some of Branson's antics.

Do you suppose we will see this ad in the Atlanta market?

Probably. When I questioned the "Gay Marine Porn Star" book tour sponsorship, the response what that the LGT(and whatever the rest of that is) buys a lot of tickets.

I don't think Delta concerns itself with Baptist sensibilities. After all, Mr. Woolman was a Presbyterian. ... all things in moderation ...

Still, I wish we spent our marketing dollars on less controversial projects. The "Southwest Airlines" Coral Reef exhibit in the Atlanta Aquarium was a very good spend for AirTran in the day ... After all, everyone can enjoy the fish regardless of color, sex, age, or orientation. It is imagined the signs will be there as long as the aquarium exists and is an excellent promotion.

I'm embarrassed and ashamed. Truly nauseating.

I'm very surprised that there is a guy @ FedX that didn't resign his DAL Sen. There was a guy who was working for both carriers and got caught. A witch hunt followed and all dual Sen (FedX & DAL) guys were outed. The one guy got fired and the others got a one time pass. Good for him if he gets back to SEA. I have a handful of friends who are trying to get back in the next recall. Seems a little unfair all the Mil Leave are returning after finishing their 20, but the bypass guys/gals have to wait for an official class.

Fingers crossed for hiring sooner than later...maybe the F/A hiring is a hint.

Baja.

I don't know. We're in for some heated competition with these UK airlines.
I hope our girls are up for it.

Pathetic. As if this world wasn't evil enough, our bloodthirsty quest for D-0 has compromised our ability to even do the right thing.

Under pilot selection, inside deltanet, there is a blurb about starting hiring in 2013. I figured its old but I know someone updates that section weekly.
