Okay, 148 posts to 50,000.
Will we know who wins the election today? I'm going to bet, 50,000 by 1:14 am if that is the case.

Here is to hoping the other viable candidate isn't "Age 70" Rice. I know he was misquoted as saying we should raise the age, but the ALPA TV clip suggests he thinks we should be "having that conversation". When Prater last "conversed" on Age 65, our lives were set back five years.
I heard from one attendee that Rice recently was recently discussing the possibility of a looming pilot shortage (I think it was at a BOD meeting). His concern was that we should take steps to help mitigate it.
Wow...

Agreed. I hope Rice stays out.

I think our best bet might be the FDX guy. I heard from a friend at the big ALPA boondoggle that Lee M has minimal support - he said even some of the DAL guys don't support him. I guess what goes around comes around.

Politicians can and do say about anything. But amongst the speeches I've heard, Rice's talk is by far the most cogent. If "our" candidate, Lee Moak has said anything, can someone post a link? I'd like to hear his campaign speech. I'd like to not count him out until we've at least heard from him.

2 of these cities look familiar. Didn't we just announce SAT & AUS to CUN?
Seasonal Continental Service from Three New Cities to Cancun
In addition,Continental Airlines today filed an application with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) for authority to begin once-weekly nonstop service to Cancun, Mexico, from three new cities: Austin and San Antonio, Texas, and Raleigh-Durham, N.C. These Saturday services, which are subject to government approval, would begin Feb. 19, 2011. In addition, United Airlines applied for authority to place its UA* code on Continental-operated flights between these cities, further enhancing service options for customers traveling to Cancun.
Continental plans to operate the service with Boeing 737-700 aircraft, with seating for 124 customers (12 in first class and 112 in economy). Continental serves 30 destinations in Mexico, more than any other airline from the U.S.Continental currently serves Cancun 76 times weekly from its hubs in Houston, Newark and Cleveland. United currently serves Cancun 31 times weekly from Denver, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and Washington-Dulles.

They also have Empire but have not sold out the majority of their domestic locations. At least not the ones they want to fly to and many they don't. Their feed is simply there to get packages to places their big ships cannot go. But you already knew that.
My guess, their MEC is not trying to sell out mainline in an attempt to go National.

I would submit that based on what some are hearing that is false.
