What types of expenses are allowed to be claimed on a trip? I pay for a bus to commute and no parking, NY based.

There was no way he was going to announce anything on that show. Next time I see him though I am gonna ax him if Maria is hot in person.

T, you know Maria is really a Dude, right?

Why do you think they never film her below her waist??

The CA I am flying with told me he is getting reimbursed $85 a month for his bus because he doesn't use parking in NY.

Delta won't comment on a widebody order because if they are making one, they are still discussing it with Airbus or Boeing. Don't want your big suppliers knowing what and why you are doing it. (other than talking points).
You also want to sound like you don't really need them. Basic negotiating.

The man sure knows his audience. He never missed a beat.. stockholders, gov't regulators and aircraft manufacturers. All right in the crosshairs.
Anybody remember when the 717's rumor first came out and the company was mum for a long time until it benefited them to dangle the 717 carrot in the "must act now....this offer won't last" mantra which netted them more large RJ's? I'm pretty sure they do have an RFP ongoing but will wait until the time is right to speak of what airplanes "could" be coming if we pilots sign off on (fill in the blank with something lame). We will sell our souls for something the company was planning on doing all along. Some cheerleading from ALPA on the deal that needs to get done "NOW!" False promises of (fill in the blank) and bingo a handful of wide bodies just became available and we skunked what our careers "could have been" once again. We pilots, lead by ALPA not so smart.
