Maybe they can re-think this whole displacement to park 757's and staff MD88's idea.

Another Good Day on the market. Yesterday almost qualified as one, but the gains were wiped out at the end of the day. Stock is back above $6, and my buddy on a 5 day says planes are packed.

Planes are packed. We are doing quite well this month.

Woo Hoo! It's nice to have some good news for a change. Let's hope these good bookings continue through the rest of the year.

Flew a red eye from LAX to MCO last night. We were oversold and left several nonrevs/commuters at the gate. Spring breakers abound!

Maybe call in honest would be a good policy to have with the packed and oversold flights.

I don't think the pilots(at least most of us) are the one's you need to convince.

The grievance WAS relief. The union's position to the contrary is spin, and poor spin at that.

Nothing can be gained if our union refuses to even take a chance by taking it to arbitration. The fact that the company rolled over and agreed to our interpretation going forward speaks volumes as to how strong our case would have been HAD WE EVEN BOTHERED TO FIGHT!

I had some fairly empty ones last week. Flew a 757 to Tampa with only 65 people on board. Glad to hear that most are full though.
