I think it would simplify things if they would just get rid of the Q (Qualified trip drop) all together, now that we have the swap/drop board.

If you want to drop a trip but they don't have the coverage to allow it, just post it as a "Pick Up" on the swap/drop board.

The Q function was kind of a half-assed way of doing that, prior to the newer eCrew swap/drop system, but it has so many limitations, it's about useless.

And...is Nok airline hiring pilots?

I know they probably don't pay much, but I'm guessing it's 'all you can eat', on the layovers, which is nice! I love Asian food.

I wonder how many of those are the "I'll go to the 717 if I'm in the top 10%."

I'll bid the 717, but if I can move up on the 88 ill take that with its higher pay. Plus, if i stick around and we get the new cockpits I get to see an 88 shoot a curved approach intentionally.

Sex doesn't sell does it? Don't bait and switch me to a granny. I paid good money for this ticket.

I'm still very fond of girls on trampolines.

Hey - no blondes? I feel a discrimination lawsuit is appropriate!

With our gals it would be more like a Harlem break-a-hip

There is no such thing as "separation of church and state". Those words don't appear anywhere in our constitution. This is what actually is in our constitution's first amendment:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

If they're breaking the law, the IRS can always hit them up for taxes or nail them for fraud.

Stereotype much?

I guess the church where my wife works and we attend is just trying to steal money? How about my dad, preacher for near 45 years, 30 year Navy Chaplain, stealing money? Just curious.

Poor attempt at changing the subject sailingfun and quite typical of the far left. You weren't attempting humor, you were attempting to belittle Buzz's factual post through condescension. Churches (even TV churches) are non-profits as Buzz correctly states. When one is found to be in the profit making business, they immediately lose exempt status and the leaders can go to jail.

What direction would you like to divert this debate next?

Btw, if you're ever rich enough to own a corporate jet, pay for everything on your black amex and fly around on Delta for free!

Discrimination based on what?

old age?

Trailer park inhabitants?

Swedish bikini teams?

I discriminated when I bought my tacoma.

Now if you buy a ticket on them and your flight attendants are gay, fat, or old, is that false advetising?
