Oh, I bet I know the story line, didn't Goose have kids? Yeah, they're back Mr. Flat Spin. They didn't buy your story that you were spinning out to sea, nobody spins "out" to sea.

Maybe its just a murder mystery?

Solved by that guy from Jag.

And I'll pay my $12 to see it if it included that long legged assistant of his.

Nu

FWIW during pre-merger roadshows we were told that the difference in premiums between the fNW and the DL retiree medical are caused by the retirees NOT being grouped with active employees under the DL plan. I really don't see why any pilot wanted to exclude retirees and make it LESS attractive to retire at age 60.

Speculation (not mine) was that this was a bit of revenge against the lump sum retirees that drained the pension fund. I don't know anything about the pre-BK/pre-merger DL plan, but if the fNW BCBS plan included retirees with active before the merger then we should at least explore bringing them back into the new DL plan. I'm sure BCBS would love to administer the DL plan, assuming that RA has no "conflicts" from his previous job at UHC.

I don't see why they wouldn't make a movie about airline pilots.

Especially those of us on reserve. It'd be exciting. I need to photoshop a picture of a laptop in there with apcf on it...

The above version was the re-write, the original options were even worse:

OPTION 1 "Maverick is a flat spin holding at Angels 20!"
OPTION 2 Lassie bursts into the Miramar tower barking very quickly: "Whats the matter boy? Trouble at the old Johnson Farm? No? OK, then you must mean trouble in the warning area? Whats that - Maverick is in a flat spin?"
