This long, drawn out focus on total time is a joke. Maybe, just maybe the constant downward push of compensation, QOL, and overall health of the airline pilot profession is starting to finally catch up with the industry.

two questions for the brethren:
Car guy question: I have been offered a non number matching, 2000 miles since restoration, 1970 corvette roadster 4spd. Nice looking, riding and driving car. Anyone got any idea what this car is worth in today's economy, I'm thinking $11k and I cant be hurt.
Investor question: AGQ - What the eff? Is it a buy or is it going lower?

At the risk of sounding like George Tenet, I'd say it's a slam dunk.

Is it better to beg for forgiveness or ask permission?

I hate to quote wide pictures, but this one is too good to not bump a time or two. The current outsourcing situation is what it is, and we must live with it. However, going forward, if we don't make an effort to bring all DAL flying in house there will be no one to blame but ourselves.
C2012: No new DCI agreements, and sunset existing agreements as they expire!
Bring the flying back and we ALL see benefits, be it increased job security for the junior guys or increased leverage for senior guys.

****ing in the wind?
I almost feel like I'm wasting my breath giving a detailed response to the SCOPE section of the survey. I hope I'm wrong, but it'll be interesting to see the collective will of the pilot group wrt SCOPE.
If the UCAL pilots are willing to push for tighter scope (ie no jets over 50 seats) then why aren't we?

I dont know how to ask for permission, but I'm pretty good about the forgiveness part.
Still not convinced the vette is a slam dunk tho.
