Actually, the physicists share! So she makes more! Granted her apt is a one bedroom and they have a 2 bedroom, but usually one bedrooms are more expensive then paying 1/2 of a two bedroom apt. The Cheesecake Factory must pay well.

She works for tips. So just be sweet and when nerd guy or old man is ordering flash a smile, maybe a touch on the back to say well done on your order its how I like people to order but youre the only one who has gotten it right all week. Maybe even stand a little too close as if to say I feel comfortable being around you.

Heck, she could wear a long sleeve turtleneck and you'd swear The Cheesecake Factory was more racy than any Hooters in Florida.

That 95% number seems high, especially considering the new contract Just gave away more regional flying:

"U.S. regional airlines could see more consolidation following the deals among network carriers, according to Dan Garton, head of AMR Corp.'s (AAMRQ) American Eagle commuter unit, reports the Wall Street Journal. American Eagle is the biggest regional carrier wholly owned by a U.S. network airline, and in 2012 it accounted for 95% of the domestic passengers fed onto American's flights. A long-planned spinoff of American Eagle also remains a possibility even after the planned merger of American Airlines parent AMR and US Airways Group (LCC) though Garton said the initial priorities are developing a new aircraft-fleet plan and exploring how the partners' regional operations can be "blended.""

Would consolidation in the regional world be something that believers in the value of whipsawing will not want to see?

You're right that that 95% number will be coming down significantly later this year, but considering that in 2012 AMR regional feed was limited to just Eagle and a handful of Chatauqua ERJs (and, beginning at the end of 2012, a few SkyWest CRJs) I think it sounds fairly accurate.

So with all this talk about pilots being greedy and flying as much as they can, we had an out of base white slip get handed out for this evening in NY on the ER/B. There are 61 pilots on reserve today. Wow, just wow.

Happens a lot in the ATL. All those guys that commute to JFK for seniority just love those ATL out of base white slips. Just imagine throwing in out of base swaps. They wouldn't need hardly any reserves.

I'm beginning to think that most news anchors/reporters do not come across as the most intelligent of people.



Or perhaps the job requirement of constantly talking causes stupid comments to come out now and then. Personally I think majority of journalists attempt to sensationalize most stories in order to gain relevance.
