I wouldn't doubt it, would you?

We haven't hit hurricane hysteria yet either and there is always something exploding in Houston to send it skyrocketing and the Muslim Brotherhood probably has more activities planned.

We've got a long way to go and the problem is they'll put the bulls-eye right on our DC9s. But 1 DC9 = 2 CRJ200s+. Start flying more point-to-point-to-hub stuff like the good ole days and LEAVE OUR 9's ALONE!

As to CMR, no love lost there, however, when it comes to hiring I hope they take DOH into consideration and look at the junior folks like say a Boomer. It's kind of like looking at a CAL pilot and going "SCAB!" Well, that was a pretty narrow window in the 1980s when super scabs existed and you might question why anyone would've gone there post that time period but by the time you get to the mid 90s, not really the same thing. I say that because when I was hired at Coex you didn't really know anything about unions or union history. You were busy flying your butt off and teaching the Shiznit's and Beer's of the world how to fly while picking their nose or to open the air vents prior to "lettin' one go." Of course once you get to the majors and fly the 757 with its fart shield you don't need that type of training.

But again, no love lost for that airline and whoever participated, supported or quietly supported the Delta furlough events.

You know with our propensity to purchase used, I'm curious as to why we buy new jets when we could be grabbing Dash 8-300's or ATR 42s to replace 50 seat jets. Sure they're props but hey, at $109/bb and climbing a few vacation minded passenger whining should be of no concern.



I mean for crying out loud, UsAir is still flying those suckers and one of Piedmont's Dash 8s sets the world record for the airliner with the highest number of cycles every time it takes off.

Should we just get it over with and merge the L&G thread with the DPA thread?

WHOA WHOA WHOA now.

How would this merger go down? DOP or relative post? And what am I going to get for it?

I propose a fence around alfaromeo and "super premium" status for Carl!

Now, there's a fine looking machine.....

Ballpark figures on my hand say that you'd need to be a 744/777 A earning more than 96 hours a month. Doesn't look like the cut and paste policy supports that and I don't know that many DALPA reps can hold 744/777 A. So. Small list. If any...

Funny, yes. But, is it accurate?

Those that have flowed, or those that are eligibile to flow (not including the ones who chose to stay and forfit the flow)?

Because prior to 2010, zero had flowed. Does that mean had furloughs occured at that time, zero could have flowed back? That doesn't sound right. If 405 could have flowed back in 2008, 2009 and 2010, then why couldn't 405 flow back now? And if CPS adds another 200 or 300+ pilots who can not flow up, and therefore DL pilots can not flow down, do the 405 that can flow still go to the top?

Actually, just for ****s and grins, let's negotiate that Alfa and Carl are now new hires....everybody else is fenced. Now, THAT'S some fun and games!

No, no its not at all. I flew the -6 for awhile. Trading jets for DeHavilland is like trading Anna for Rosie.
