When is he going to come back to verify that number? 87 seems very high.
I'll ask my question for the fourth time.

Default Maybe the fourth time's the charm

With all the posts sometimes you can miss a few. So I'll repost this exchange:

Well, from personal experience both with a line and on reserve for several years at DAL, either I'm a total loser or that's simply not true. I've only broken 87 a few times and NEVER on reserve. Me thinks he overestimates dramatically.

Nu, in my opinion, there's definitely some of that going on. Can't prove it, and don't really care to unearth it, but logic says that's happening.

Does anyone else notice when slowplay gets painted into a corner, he disappears, then pineappleguy will start posting, and when pinnapple gets in a tight spot he disappears then alfaromero starts posting, then, sailingfun, then back to slow......

I'm going to start calling them the Four Horsemen, but I really think its just one horse running around in a circle, really, really fast.

I'm tellin' ya. They are the same person!!

Their writing styles and thought processes are too different from each other. Slow and Alfa (I think) are union guys. Sailing reads like an -er capt from nyc. PG I dont know.

You know I kid all of them. Mainly, because I really do get confused by them and their names, especially slow and sailing. Sailing could come back right now and answer for slow and I wouldn't even know the difference.

If I spent as much time as you promoting "kiss and tell" and getting to hang out with Feaux news hotties, I probably wouldn't have time for 87 hours either!

I don't know of an independent method to verify 87 hours for 2010 or 82 hours for 2009. You can ask the Treasurer when he's at LEC meetings how they're calculated. Again, they are "all in" numbers (anything that is based on hourly pay, including monthly pay/credit, vacation, training, sick, etc.).

Thanks for posting. Carl is on my "ignore list" again...
