Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?
My point was how he behaved on the sidelines and to Macguire- he stayed up with Macguire the past few nights helping him get ready.
Somebody has to be telling him that he's losing millions of dollars. I wanna be his agent. It's so easy. Don't be an ass and don't get arrested. How hard is that?
The only lesson JW is going to learn from this is how indispensable he is. How special he is and they need him. Therefore he can continue to go through life with no consequences.
The only reason FSU won last night was Clemson's ineptitude. JW will end up in jail, either at this level or the next.

Yeah but he will be in with the really cool crowd in the NFL... You know... Ryan Leaf... Jamarcus Russell... Manziel... those guys

I don't really understand what he was doing on the sidelines in the first place. He was suspended. If he wanted to go to the game, he should have bought a ticket like the rest of the student body.

While I'm on my soapbox, why did ABC feel the need to put a camera on him during the game? He should have been persona non grata. He hasn't learned a damned thing.
Rant over.

The fact is that both suffer from selection bias. Neither is a true statistical example- only Wilson Polling would be able to get that. I'd be willing to bet that an extremely high % that participated in the DPA one participated in the DALPA one.
Trying to insinuate that one is more scientifically valid than the other like Reroute did is incorrect and shows a poor understanding of statistics. I'm sure the DALPA one will have more participants than the DPA one, therefore giving a slightly better cross section and reducing some of the selection bias, but neither is truly scientifically valid unless one of them miraculously reaches 100% participation.

Our system is set up so those who actually attend meetings and propose resolutions are heard the loudest. Sometimes that leads to a vocal minority driving the agenda. As good as technology is now I think we could do more to make participating easier. In my opinion more people involved means a better system.
That said, if you are reading this you have probably already taken the survey so I'm not going to say take the survey. Instead you should tell everyone you run into to take the survey. I'm talking about the ALPA survey since they actually represent us.
Well a few weeks ago we had a government affairs guy ride in the back from DCA. He stopped up to say hey and we asked him what the biggest issue for Delta was right now. He said if we can't get Japan to let us move our entire NRT operation to HND and get good slots (I guess we have slots that are almost impossible to make work) then we will shut down the whole operation in Japan and over fly everything. We asked him how likely that was and he said, "Didn't we just announce that we were parking 4 747's" and gave us that look.
