DFW which does not have much Europe or Asia) for a nice profit. And Anderson wants to capture more of the Asia flying, a pilot base would work great. It just seems a waste to base pilots here and build long trips away from home. Then we would be a global airline!
Make it MUC and I'll move myself. Cathay has a big pilot base here and CAL a decent sized one in GUM.

I see a lot of benching in our future. Wait, I see almost three months of bencing in my future starting Dec 1. Hooray!
That's great man. What category are you go to/from?

320. As it is right now, I'm for sure benched for a month and a half. The rest is prediction mixed with a little hope.

Come on Buzz, don't like Favre. It's open season on him this year. Every time I think he is out for the season, some how he comes back. The guy has taken a beating this year, both on and off the field. I do like his taste in the ladies though.....

I'm just a jilted lover AP. He toyed with my emotions for far too long.

Plus, if you're gonna sext pictures of your package, you might want to take off the red crocs.

Too much ego, too many interceptions, so little time. We've got A-Rod now, I'm good.

Just heard from floor 4 that we are in serious looking mode at AK*.

I used to want this, now I'm not so sure. Most of those guys will be put in front of me. As it stands now, I could be SEA 76 in 2 years. We add AK and I can kiss that goodbye.

*I think this may be why we are securing more cash. Just reading the leaves.
