Anyone ever talk to Carl? I personally think this place is better off with more opinions and more posters. Hmmmm? How can we lure him back? Here are a few ideas:
1. Unlimited caddy swimming hours (no pool - pond ony).
2. One free gopher trap with every post.
3. Free subscription to "Varmint Killer" magazine.
4. All expense night out on the town with Lacy Underall.
5. Right of first refusal on all of Tiger's rejects.

By the way ACL, I'm still going to appologize to Scoop and KC when they return. I was way out of line last night. One thing you will find about me, I may be highly opinionated, but I will admit when I am defeated or when I'm wrong.
Edit: Speaking of Scoop, there you are. Sorry Scoop, I got completely carried away last night. I have since deleted that condescending post of mine.

Not much chance of the company opening early. They wanted a much longer contract in the first place. Even the length of this contract was one of the reasons I voted no. We had a contract that was amendable this spring. We gave that up in the joint contract and it was not a smart move.

And you wanted to open during that time?
I'll pass, thanks.
Aren't you one of the guys that talks about the consequences of delayed contracts? We could have chosen to "fight" the merger (and been about as effective as AFA/IAM...where'd it get them?) and our company would have lost even more money. You wouldn't have unprecedented merger equity in your account. You wouldn't have had the pay and DC increases from 1/1/09 and 1/1/10 in your hand.
How much would your mythical 2009 contract had to pay you to make up for the value of the pieces you would have lost by not agreeing to the JCBA? And how were you going to extract that value while the company was losing substantial sums of money (and every other mainline was furloughing pilots)?
One must know where leverage lies in order to exploit it.
