Hey, if Warren Buffett says the economy is improving, then the economy probably is improving. He has smoked all our butts in investing. Just sayin.

Any latest and greatest about what the staffing number changes would be at Delta and more importantly at DCI?

If management had anything to do with it, I'm surprised one of Jerry's kids* isn't flying it.

(as in Jerry Atkin, not Jerry Lewis)

I bet we could find a tail wheel qualified first officer for me:

Hey, I was one of Jerry's kids. I also have lots of tailwheel time. Heck, I flew a maule up to Michigan just two weeks ago. Bring on the DC-3!!!!!! I love round engines. Remember the movie "surviving the game?" There was a yellow and black beach-18....aka the bumblebeach.....I have a skosh of time in that beast.

Depends on the carriers. For us, we will need bodies, but not a ton. CP's are stating 200-500 depending on the rules. Aug is the date they are shooting for to make the FTDT FAR 117 final.

So is it wrong to want DCI to need A LOT more bodies than us? Thus, increasing their CASM just that much more vs if we needed a ton and they didn't then all the more reason to continue the scope smuggling operation?

I think Charlie Sheen is only legal in California. Where I live, we have a task force set up to bust Charlie Sheen labs. Unfortunatlely, some Charlie Sheen is still getting through. When I was at walmart the other day, there was this morbidly obese woman wearing camo with her bra exposed and her hair was really greasy. An obvious multi day Charlie Sheen bender.

Not wrong, but irrelevant. You pay a bargaining agent to represent you. You have a vote, you can launch a recall.

Charlie's sound clips are going to be great fodder for crank calls.
