SFO is good, very good, and I get burned going against Vegas, but I'm not buying Alex Smith nor overlooking they won at home with 5 MSY turnovers.
Now I know you can say the defense caused them like in the case of the first one when MSY was about to score, that was defense caused for sure and brutal. The ones on special teams were blunders to me and Brees may have gotten sloppy. Tough defense for sure, but 5:1 turnovers to win in the last few seconds, eh.
So I guess I'm selling on SFO. I'll take Manning and Jacobs and their defensive line peaking late in the season.
But in the Super Bowl, even with a bad defense how in the world do you out score Brady? He can pick a part seemingly everybody and so I have to say they're poised to win it all. I don't think it's close if SFO is in it with Smith having to pass to keep up, I think it's closer with Manning.
Full disclosure-grew up Redskin fan, don't like Snyder so I don't like them, never cared to find another team. I've got enough invested in CFB.

Like I said earlier, did you see how the Jets took care of Brady last year in the playoffs, year before BWI did. Pats where at home both of those games. Both of those QBs are not playing as well as Smith and San Frans d is just as good as those Def.

Here is data on LAX operations from Welcome to Los Angeles World Airports - LAX Statistics
1. It does not include anything other than LAX. So this isn't ONT, SNA and so on.
2. The data for 2011 runs from January to November, the December data isn't up yet. Therefore, in order to keep from showing a sizable decreasing in operations from 2010 to 2011 I added a month based on the average for the 11 months of the year. So hence the * with 2011 because it signifies an estimate of December traffic.
3. The table based on "if every aircraft seated 150 passengers" shows the number of passengers divided by 150 in order to see the effect of us flying 777s and 744s out of LAX while Alaska flies 738s, 739s and 734s out of there.

My goal is more total pilots.
So the way I see it, if we flew the same size aircraft as Alaska then they're growing revenue operations 1.9x what we're doing and 1.6x when you just look at total operations.
I'd love to break out our NB numbers out of Deltanet and compare it to Alaska but I'm not going to do that because we're not supposed to. What I will say is our goal is to have more pilots flying more aircraft, not to increase WB flying and decrease NB and thus have a net loss of pilot positions but call it growth based on passengers carried or %'s of growth YOY of the individual airline. If we both decrease but they decrease a lot less because we shifted flying over to them, that's a loss.
IMHO.

Question-- where can you see a list of LCAs for your category? The schedules haven't posted to I-crew yet, which you can usually see if you're flying with regular or line-check-airmen... is there another source to look up guys I'm flying with (got them from the pairings report) to see?
Also trying to find some "after action" listing of how many FOs got taken off LCA lines for OE type of stuff, in relation to our discussions on recovery-flying obligation improvements and how some guys might bid such lines. Trying to get a feel for the risk vs. reward on that.
Thx

Sad when it doesn't even effect our flying anymore.
Little bit of tongue and cheek though.

But at least they are doing the HNL and LAS flights.. so we got that going for us.And it said that a "portion" of the flying would be done on Pinnacle et al. Kind of like Mongo had a "portion" of beans I guess...
