And off we go!

The most unfortunate side effect is the exhaust trail down my legs.
A little more cheese will lean out the mixture.

Why worry about it? When the truth about Winston and Dumbo Fisher comes out, the NC and all those wins will be forfeited anyway. 2000 autographs on items with consecutive serial numbers? YGTBSM

There's a video on FoxSports.com in which three commentators take that play apart frame by frame. All three agree that this went well beyond a rub route and holding was definitely the right call.

Watching the Dolphins - Bears game. It's NFL, but I just saw the same type of penalty called.

A bit of an odd question but one that Id like addressed. Are guys from PSA really being "blacklisted"? People are saying Delta recruiters arent hiring any PSA guys.

PSA rumor silly on the surface of it.
Delta has hired GoJets to do our DCI flying for cripes sake! Proof positive they don't blacklist...
Delta recruiters don't "blacklist" anyone based on an organization they worked for, everyone that applies has their stuff racked and stacked and rated per standard rules.

If PSA guys aren't getting hired, it's because none of them has racked and stacked above OTHER guys that ARE. Also, remember there weren't very many "off the street" slots for the last year--Pinnacle, Compass etc. flow throughs or guaranteed interviews have consumed a large portion of available jobs that MIGHT have made it to RJ qual guys in general.

I've got buddies with 20 years in USAF, multiple RTU and aircraft, tons of time and combat time and command of various operations, spotless records, who haven't been called for an interview either...

Thanks for the post though! Was glad to finally read something that didn't have to do with college football and what level of cheating or scumbaginess should be acceptable there.

Thanks for the reply, this is exactly the answer I was looking for. Im likely making a lateral move to PSA and am trying to play out any and all future consequences in my head no matter how far fetched they may seem. Seeing as Delta is my #1 choice I dont want to do anything that might hinder my chances. Thanks.

Exactly. Industry-related politics are forbidden. But college football is somehow fair game.

There are no NCAA rules against tithing. His father is a preacher and that's a huge loophole. I put in a high bid on his father's church for a huge remodeling job. That included the roof, windows, doors, gutters, and some siding. When I saw the chuch I figured there was no way the money was there. It wasn't until Iafter I got the rejection letter because my bid was too high that I found out who the Pastor was. Out of curiosity I drove by about 6 months later and you wouldn't have recognized the place. There are loopholes.
