Ha ha. What do you think this is, Southwest? 0 free bags unless you have the credit card.

Southwest Airlines rated new Neutral at Sterne Agee. $16 price target. Company is losing some of its marginal leverage in the industry.

18 has been my target for a long time. This stupid economic melt down has been playing havoc with me off loading my investments!

Made good money this week on the AMR fear as well!

That is a one way to pay it. If we were not discussing an alternate union, there are many on here like myself that are very open to change that would be willing to debate what we should change. We just choose not to shoot inside the circle when trying to get rid of ALPA.

If you haven't read it there is a "Crew Resources Monthly Update November 2011 " on the crew resources and scheduling section of Deltanet.
Of note to me...ONLY 4300 pilots out of 11,xxx plus filled out the scheduling survey! What's that say about complacency and the ongoing union survey?
MEM DC9 is closing on the NOV. AE.
Lots of added charter flying for the 330 and 744
There really is a domestic turn on the 744 ATL-DFW and ATL-LAX

I'm curious what percentage of those who have not done the survey are complacent and what percentage believe the union is going to do what the union is going to do, no matter what the survey says?

No, what I was getting at was the comment someone made about the same handful of rabid DALPAites who constantly post on the DALPA forum. I was just equating them to the same handful of rabid DPAers who constantly post here.


So, how am I to interpret your statement? If you believe the same few DPAers who post here represent the majority of the DAL pilots, then couldn't the same argument be made about the DALPAites?

Personally, I have trouble with ALPA and DPA. And I don't like the fact that if I disagree with one of their fanboys, then I get a lecture on how I'm either an idiot for not seeing their blinding logic, or a blind follower of the rhetoric of the other side.

My opinion? The well is poisoned at both camps. I don't have faith or trust in either. You may disagree with that statement. That is your prerogative.

I agree with what you are saying. I have no idea who the vocal minority is, may be the DPAers or the ALPAites.

Does anyone know what hotel crews stay at in Seattle and if they give the crew rate for personal stays?
