Funny thing, but Cuba Gooding Jr. is in this one but he also did a Tuskegee Airman HBO movie years ago and Jimmy Leeward flew his P-51 in the movie.
Don't forget that Cuba Gooding Jr. also shot down a Navy destroyer and several Zeros in the movie Pearl Harbor.

And speaking of Pearl Harbor, I think Ben Afflek did to war movies what Heath Ledger did to cowboy movies. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

My favorite shot in that movie is the pilot's-eye view of the zero rolling in on the line of Arleigh Burke class destroyers tied up alongside Ford Island.

I didn't see it mentioned, but Crew Resources posted a Feb 2012 update to their thinking. At 9 pages it goes into a lot of details.

But the best part is crew Resources responding to some of the comments to the rotation survey. It is a very good read and shows what they are thinking about each category as well as commutable trips and non-commutable trips.

Where is this 9 page document? In the new bid package, or on DL Net, or?

DLNet, Crew Resources page, in the middle, second section down. Called "Crew Resources Monthly Update February 2012"

Guess they're going to make it a monthly thing.

Your statement regarding implants is not true. My is in the middle of the implant process and it has been covered up to the yearly maximum.

Hey guys,

Thanks for asking Carl!

Mother-in-law came through the surgery and will live. Now, its the long road of physical therapy. She is coherent and talking, which is good. Not out of the woods yet but her doc said he'd never seen a stroke victim recover so quickly. Thanks for all of the prayers and kind words bros. DAL has been great and has me home now watching my kids while my wife stays with her mom up in SFO. Hopefully, I'll be back in the saddle next week.

Cheers guys,
Buzz
