Imagine, what a great uniform piece this would be!!!

Anyone know of a good place to get a old rolex worked on?

congratulations to this month's winner of the "sailingfun/slowplay/alfaromero/pineapple guy Obfuscation Award."

I expect more of the same from you in the future. keep up the totally inadequate work. maybe you should "take your talents" to the ballot for MEC chair.


Or maybe you should just take your talents to South Beach.

Call The Rolex Service Center. There are 2 in the country (NY or DAL). THey will send you an insured FEDex box. You send the watch to them. After about 6-10 weeks, your watch will come back to you looking brand new, regulated, cleaned, regulated etc. Warranty too (2 years). Pricey but worth it.

First call them. Dallas is the better of the two and I would NOT use an independent jeweler (might save $100-$200) to work on that watch.

Dallas RSC = 214-871-0500

AE out Monday 17 DC-9's sticking around through 2013. 7 will be retired because they are coming up on heavy checks. DC-9 sim will move to atl. ATL will have some 767 displacements. Discuss.

Exactly right, but you'll not see it acknowledged by some...instead we will see the continued lauding of the "SWAPA model", the "far better functioning union". There will be no explanation of the years they they spent as management's lackey with vastly lower pay-scales enabling Herb to undercut the rest of us.

Google "millionaire flight attendants" and see what you come up with. SWA compensation has its ups and downs just like most other airlines I can think of. The low point was 95ish to 2002 in regards to pay and we woke up to the importance of scope when SWA started codesharing with ATA. As always, I hope y'all get a great contract.

I'm still trying to recover from the mind*******ing JG tried to administer me in the last "weekly update" when he said "this is good news."

I'm sure I'll be mindraped again by DALPA, parroting the company line and explaining why this means we should be thrilled with a less-than-COL "increase" on C2012

The interesting thing is that if you get a chance to talk with some of their pilots involved in union work they don't want to be at the top. They want the rest of us to leap frog them. They want to see the traditional SW cost advantage restored so they can go back to the times of 10 percent growth year over year.

News flash: the company won't offer it. DALPA is going to have to pony up, earn those cushy perks, and ruffle some feathers to produce results.

I say again: stop rolling over for the company and refusing to hold yourselves accountable for this ridiculous "constructive engagement." Or DALPA's gone.
I've started and erased this post a number of times thinking to myself "Is it worth it?" and I cannot in good conscience (sp?) let it pass.

Every month the company posts' SIL's. It's just that every month there are zero SIL's. Check the crew resources page on the left side.

In fact, the contract that Delta Pilots demand is NOT available today in any way, shape, or form.

In my mind Bacon you are hurting your cause more than helping it.
