They're all airplanes, they all take up the same amount of gate space, they all require 3 miles seperation.

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FOR ALL DCI
Maybe it was a month ago (more or less) there was a discussion about contract 2012 and I think it was Sailing (might have been Slowplay) that pointed out the "pot" [amount DAL spends on DAL pilot wages, benefits, etc.] was so big and as a union we could choose to allocate that pot more-or-less how we wanted.

I personally want to see significant improvements in scope. However I am not willing to spend one nickle of DALPA's "pot" to increase the wage rates at DCI carriers.

Real quiet down at Virgina Ave is the pot still boiling and being stirred or did someone or something snuff out the flames?

A north guy coined the phrase NEVER EVER REAL DELTA.....NERD. I thought (and hoped) the term died but has since been resurrected. Were one airline now. The merger is done. Lets concentrate on 2012 and improving anything we can until then. Let the term NERD die and Delta live.

Only heard pre-merger NWA guys call themselves that. Freaking hilarious in my opinion- although only in jest. If a guy is saying to to make a point to be disgruntled, I don't have much time for them. Wouldn't ever call any guy that to his face though.

This is the internet, therefore I can say whatever I want.

Sadly, I still know every lyric of every song on that album. Even worse, my 4 year old son recognizes and dances and sings along to "Girls"

You can never underestimate what they pick up on when they're two.....

It is the COMPANY'S job to worry about domination. It is OUR job to collect as many golden eggs from the goose as we can.

and that, young Jedi, is why you fail.
