Not your machine. I've tried two different computers and the same thing happens. Also doesn't matter how large the thread is because it's happening on some very small threads as well.

Ok, so the average age of the four that retired is 61.4 - that's nice, but that number doesn't really mean much. To be included in the average the pilot has to actually retire - I'm sure that there are plenty of pilots over that age who haven't retired yet so are not counted. Now if ALL pilots retired at an average age of 61.4 - that would be something

Only 1. NWA was too cheap to pay for the other one.

If NewK had been around in the 1700s:

With the thought of commercials on my mind, will the excellent Climb Higher series make it off Delta Net and IFEs and make it to youtube and/or, maybe, tv?

I think we had a "cash for clunkers" effect on retirements with the prip last year. It probably "pulled the demand" for retirements to fall09/winter10 - just like cash for clunkers made demand artifically high for the duration of the program, then artificially low for a few months after. Wouldn't be surprised if the retirement numbers are pretty low through the end of the year.
