GK/SWAPA invalidated McCaskill-Bond. Might as well take that out of your vocabulary.

A Hawaiian move isn't 'grand' enough IMHO. We could do that anyway without all the problems.

If we really want to control the east coast, then the logical move is JB, especially in light of the Virgin move. Yes, you would have to give some of the JB routes up but I'll bet it would be less than what you gain....1 step back, 2 steps forward.

IF (big if) AA is ever able to do anything out west with Alaska, they might have to dump the old America West structure......which we might then be in a position to move on. But, I'll go back to my "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly" shoot out analogy. Anything out west with Alaska will be a blood bath and therefore won't happen.

JB would be an ugly SLI and why RA may not to do it. Once again, he plays chess and what he really does has probably never been suggested on here.

Weed for my friends.......water for my horses

Ferd, you may need to explain what weed you are talking about to some of the uninitiated.

Lyrics to Jeremiah Weed :

When I was a young'n, my daddy said to me
Son I wanna know what it is you wanna be
I said I'll never wear a tie, but I like the color green
I think I'm gonna wanna fly the ******ing F-16
Now I heard my mama screaming ‘cause I yelled it right out loud
So daddy had to wash my mouth but I knew that he was proud
He gave me a shot that was something in between
Lysol and alcohol with a touch of gasoline

Fox 1, when you've got nothing left
Fox 2, it's that heater in your chest
Fox 3, the only friend you'll ever need
That c*****r m****ucker Jeremiah Weed

Now if you drive the Eagle then you drink it all for show
And if you drive the Hog then you gotta drink it slow
And if you drive the Viper then you gotta drink it fast
‘Cause this aint a time to loiter and we aint got the gas
Now if you drive the Stinkbug then drink it on your own
And if you drive the Mudhen then you can't drink it alone
And if you're stuck in UAVs then my advice to you
Is to drink the ******ing bottle, man, there's nothing left to do

Fox 1, when you've got nothing left
Fox 2, it's that heater in your chest
Fox 3, the only friend you'll ever need
That c***ucker mo****ucker Jeremiah Weed

The greatest fighter pilot that ever I did see
Came in one day and took his place at the ****er next to me
I knew he was a killer I could smell it when he peed
That ********r drank his coffee with a big ol' shot of weed
Now everyone is curious and they all want to know
Does it make you smarter will it make your pe***s grow
It won't bring ya women and it won't bring ya luck
So why do we drink it? '€˜Cause it tastes like ******!

Fox 1, when you've got nothing left
Fox 2, it's that heater in your chest
Fox 3, the only friend you'll ever need
That co****ucker mo****ucker Jeremiah Weed

If the scenario that Elvis90 (edit: and carl) referenced is accurate (and I am not saying it isn't) then it appears that would be a good course of action.

My category took a turn for the senior on reserve like Ron's. Although they could be one in the same.

Ferd;

There are three things that give me a headache or the dry heaves just by hearing them mentioned so it is tough enough for me to type this:

1. Jeremiah Weed
2. Tequila
3. Black Dog by Led Zeppelin (I can handle the new Robert Plant version).

Prayed to the porcelain god -while Black Dog was playing after drinking too much tequila. They both still affect me. Thank God I'm a mellow guy now...

I wonder who they have been going to? Many other nations are out buying us in gold by massive percentiles while our future debt interest : GDP ratios are staggeting and getting worse with no end in sight and many other nations signaling the end of the reserve currency spending gravy train.

Yeah me too. We can't start leaving non revs just because we don't have time to beep their ticket. That's rediculous. Worst case if we have to just send people down without stressing about the window/isle/EC/FC preferences if its a last minute thing, just send them down. But we can't leave our own people because we don't have time to deal with our own people while treating them like a waste of oxygen and wishing they would just go away. They are your most important customers, by far. Every single one of them net impacts the operation more than a plane full of million milers through the course of their careers. We have to take care of our people, or they will stop taking care of our customers. Its that simple.
