Thorium breeder reactors, the liquid salt kind, have enough excess energy to produce hydrocarbons, Jet A being the easiest. There is literally a 2 billion year supply of energy in thorium.

Nice of our union to finally mention the Mcfadden interpretation. It is blatantly obvious that our current procedures for dealling with 117 extenstions are against the Mcfadden interpretation. I am wondering what is taking so long to fix it.

Interesting perspective (Wrong I'm sure) on DAL and A380's:

Why do we have to talk to a scheduler to call in sick and well? Why can't that be automated?

I think everybody on here understands that on a base level, but there is a cadre that refuses to accept it. The interesting thing about that is that the same concept is paraded out as being relevant in one's personal finances, but when it comes to a corporation or entity, it doesn't matter... apparently.

And if it does, we won't have to worry about massive paycuts throughout the group either, because, well... bigger pays more.

Well, we haven't had 727s for quite some time so you might want to get some updated data points. Find a friend at SWA or FDX and compare W2/TAFB in like categories.
Unless you are going to tell me they are not in our peer group.
Also, since you are speaking in present tense, you can skip the part about how good it was for DAL in the past or how bad it is going to be for the others in the future. I'm not saying our contract is bad now, but it isn't the best out there when looking at it as a whole.

SWA? IF we had their contract, we would not be doing any international flying.

The pilots were made whole. Does the method matter? In fact the method used this time created a remedy that was much quicker than a system board. I prefer results over process each and every time.
