Why don't we take the 90M we got from the slot sale and put it as a down payment to buy Hawaiian Air?

Yeah 80 I agree. I think some people have been sitting in their current seat too long and are blind to the fact that all scope was GIVEN to the regionals. Those regional pilots didn't sneak in and steal anything.
For all of you that say they should man up and not take a low paying job. How about this....The legacies man up and stop voting it out. None of us have a gun to our head to vote for scope loss any more than they have a gun to their head to put food on the table.

Only we can control our scope. So is everyone ready to be a man (or woman

) ? End of story

Just a question for the 7ER guys.

What is a commonly used headset on the fleet? The Telex 750?

NWA used to provide those, but I don't imagine that has been maintained since the merger. I'm wondering if I need to buy my own pair?

Also, would the 7ER guys on reserve recommend signing up for Global Entry?

Thanks in advance.

Thus the insults.

Not making yourself very distinguished here slow. We can all see right through you.

Lots of lawsuits like this and there will be lots more. Someone always wants to blame someone or something when things turn south. In the end they are almost always settled for a few pennies and cash to the lawyers. The chances of ALPA or their insurance agent paying large checks to TWA pilots is not very high. Keep in mind one important principle of the law. To get damages you have to show where and how you were damaged and convert that to a financial loss. Had TWA pilots not accepted the APA offer would they be better or worse off today. Anyone who knew TWA's status at the merger can probably answer that.

Global Entry is a no-brainer if you're a commuter. I'm not and I still have it. Get stuck behind one foreign crew and you'll know why.

Isn't that what you've been saying for each phase of the lawsuit? How are those predictions working out so far?

750 works great. I have an 850, but most pilots take it off at cruise, and especially on international flights when pilots are swapping seats every few hrs.

Don't leave home without if you want to make your commuter flight back to home!!! Terminal 4 can be a real killer if you don't have it.
