I just did it last night and I'm amazed at how much more this phone offers now that apple and atat don't have complete control. Tethering is back also which is a great thing for those long airport sits.
Themes, ringtones, text sounds, etc all available for free. I know have a full Texas longhorn themed iPhone . Enjoy!!

At least the amount of the raise in the rumor keeps getting bigger and bigger!
I would do yourself a favor before posting something like this and work out the math. A raise like that is somewhere between 550 to 600 million dollars a year in cost to the company. If you think they are going to give that up to outsource the 100 seat flying then I have hundreds of bridges to sell you!

Whatever the pay raise is great, but the bottom line is until we have been given back the things(pay, regs, etc...) we gave up in the past to help position the company to better compete and be successful, absolutely ZERO concessions to achieve such goal should be asked for and if asked should not even be accepted by Lee Moak and ALPA. It is time for a line to be drawn and it starts by learning to say the word " No " DALPA. Once the company makes us at par with what was given up, sure I can see them talking and working on some small concessions, but the one concession that cannot be given for pay is scope. Wether you are senior or junior, the 100 seater will take every narrowbody pilot's current job.
The company and DALPA are having discussions right now, are you having them with our reps? If you were hired after 2000 here you better, because your gonna see your job from the unemployment line alot sooner than you think. And just to further drive this home, WHY IN FREAKIN HECK WOULD DELTA SELL IT'S DCI SUBSIDIARIES FOR NOTHING??? Because they are going to transfer flying there somehow someway and you better make sure your rep knows that ALL FLYING FOR DELTA WILL BE BY A PILOT ON THE DELTA SENIORITY LIST--and this must be in the contract.
At this point, I do not care if ALPA also represents regional pilots, we must kill them now with language in this contract. ALPA has set it's self up to have a severe conflict of interest and they better get it taken care of soon.

Any truth or is this saber rattling?
Oh no. I think you guys have made a big mistake. I saw this on T.V. and an Apple spokesmen said that when they push an update, your phone will cease to work. And it is legal for them to do so just as it is legal for you to crack it.

I used an iPhone 2G on T-Mobile for two years with no trouble. You have to be careful with the updates, but as far as I know, they can't push updates. They didn't for two years, I know that. The worse case is that you update your software before the new Jailbreak is ready and you have an updated iPhone that isn't Jailbroken.

Even more amazing, the newer Sprint and Verizon Android phones can act like mini wi-fi hot spots, giving connections up to a multitude of computers.
But, you guessed it, AT&T and the iPhone don't let you do that.
Scare-mongering. What else would an Apple spokesman say? "It's fine - go ahead and do it?"

Their website says if your battery is getting bad, bring your phone in, and we'll replace it. Takes a week, and costs $89.
So I go to the local Apple store (which always smells like a locker room these days), managed to stop one of their employees (apparently "Homless Chic" is the dress code). They go "well, normally we'd need you to make an appointment for that, but let me see if someone can help you".
So homeless guy #2 takes 15 seconds to explain to me that Apple no longer will replace batteries, but they exchange the whole phone. "Fine", I say, "I synced the phone before I left home, and cloned to my GFs old iPhone..all I have to do is switch SIMs",
Him: "Plus it the exchange will cost $199 and take a week".
Well screw that. On my way home, I stopped by a whole-in-the wall cell phone place that actually fixes phones. They swapped my battery out for a nominal cost, and it was done in 30 minutes.
Between this, and their retarded file system and locked down app store, when this phone dies, it's an Android for sure....

Yes on the 16th, mixed with new hires. I go for a week, and then come home. Aircraft training to be determined down the road. I had a prior conflict with the 8/2 class, so he said I could do the 16th. Not sure if there are other recalls in there with me or not.
I was flying Corporate, Challengers and Floatplanes. Someone asked. I also had 15 or 16 other jobs since 9/11, but that's another story.

My frustration is that you have to reduce your raw score to get them to consider what trip you're asking for, and then when they don't give you that trip they give you something else. Had you not reduced raw score you may not have gotten anything. Granted, you have to be careful when you reduce the raw; I would have gotten something so it was worth doing had it worked out the way it should have.
I did call ALPA 5 mins after getting the "sorry, made a mistake" answer. He said it looked like that to him as well, and if I wanted to the other trip to ask to speak to a supervisor. The trip got in two hours earlier; that was the only benefit to it so instead I called and asked to get off SC 2 hours early. Sure, they may have given it to me anyway, but it was nice to get it with 5 hours to go.
