That was actually a SWA pilot pretending to be a delta pilot, so as to appear poor and work a better deal from the manager.

You know the sad part, his airport junker is my good car.

NewK drives a stolen police car to work.

Just wait until you come over here. You get issued a gold plated toilet to take home, your farts smell spectacular, and you get a midget issued to you solely to wipe your behind after you use said gold plated toilet.

Sorry, thought you were denigrating National Review, the brainchild of the Great William F. Buckley. BTW, Fox is the only news without a political agenda.

This is incredibly troubling to me because it illustrates where Lee stands on this in his core. This man is now ALPA national President effective Jan 2011. This alone makes me want nothing to do with ALPA national.

OK I guess what I should have said is "RESERVE HERE SUCKS, it just sucks slightly less than at NWA".

I presume you meant 2 hour short call, not 24. They can keep the 75 hour guarantee if it meant I have to give them 19 days of my life every month. I already flew 18 days a month for three months this summer, I dont care to do it again. I agree with the standard rigs though. I had a rotation that DH MSP to EWR, fly EWR-LGA, and DH LGA-MSP the next day, and I got an hour credit for it! i would also like to be able to reliably determine if i am going to get used or not. The current availability list is rubbish.
