Is the latter worth letting the camel in? Perhaps... My initial threshold was that it should be limited enough to where only the people that wanted to do them could do them.

For insomniacs, very cool meteor shower tonight. May wake the kids about 3:20 in North America.
We will pass through an old debris trail from 209P/LINEAR tonight and tommorrow. This one will look like a hyperspace leap towards the North Pole because of the angle of the collision. Should be a good show with 100 to 400 meteors per hour which are larger than typical.

So at least I have something to look forward to on my San Juan late late nighter.... Thanks. Seriously.

First...as I mentioned a while back, I am fortunate that I didn't need the loan. Someone else might.
How does you mocking their situations foster "unity?" Pretty low class, really. For that matter, how does you playing the north/south card promote unity?
Let's look at this whole process from management's perspective.
Today, they had a hotwash with their union buster to critique the test run of their C15 strategy. It's called "Divide and Conquer."
Here's how it works:
- the union buster writes a memo that totally ignores the contract. SD signs it.
- DALPA hems, haws and fails to provide decisive leadership, implicitly condoning the memo
- the company takes hostages by monetarily and psychologically penalizing those who stand up for the contract
- DALPA doesn't do jack **** to assist the hostages
- the guys who step up despise DALPA for a lack of backbone
- guys who aren't personally affected see DALPA rolling over; disunity ensues
- several months or years later, DALPA produces an inadequate TA and MD writes a "victory lap" memo
- yada yada yada (the closest description I can manage to describe what just happened)
- we get our asses handed to us a la C12
Bar, you preach "unity" but blindly fail to recognize that DALPA's actions (or inactions) are largely at fault.

Dude, seriously. Stop digging.

So you believe that any TA that we receive is the first offer? Really? Because that is precisely what you said above.... If that is in fact the case, then you have an extremely poor view of any negotiators we could ever have. They must be the stupidest people on the face of the earth.

Agreed! I don't like, but I mind, the backside stuff. If it's into a place I like...it's cool. As I get more senior, it's less and less. I do like the LA-BOS all nights although our hotel there is getting really tired. I avoid JFK if at all possible. As an LA guy, I like our returns to SEA, PDX and SFO. The Sadde6 arrival back into LAX is my favorite. It flies right over my daughters high school and just south of our home.
