Can't be too careful.

Thanks USMC, I should mention that my information is dated. Serves me right for going off memory rather than the Intrawebs.

Not sure how to feel about that rock on her finger, though?

A bird by name only as it has wings... but for no apparent reason. This bird does not ever fly.

That's hilarious!!

I left out one other trait. They are very obedient and conformative. When they travel over land and ice, they stay in a single file line never straying. This is known as The March of the penguins.

Additionally, as soon as the female lays an egg, the male dutifully without fail squats on it for about 65 days while the female leaves. He is then relieved when the female comes back in time for the hatching.

So, does this sound like they share any traits with any particular group that sometimes frequents here and Herndon?

Carl

The "fact" is, pay banding (if that is the proper term) is common. The fact is also that the DAL contract of 2000 was far superior to anything seen at NWA, but of course that is water under the bridge...but maybe it would be best to show some sort of unity for a common cause instead of the constant DALPA bashing.

just my one vote/opinion.

Yes, unity. Like what you posted above. Or below:

Thanks, I needed that.

I was paging back from the last page to catch up and saw the warning about what awaited...I didn't want to page back any further....but I couldn't help myself.

Now, as they say, rinse, repeat...
