Correct. Randy was the one who said; "you have to cut the burning lifeboats loose" speaking about his EAL "brothers.

His dad "Slim" was an EAL pilot too...doubt if he'd have agreed.

Is anyone familiar with this guy? He served ALPA before my time and I'm not able to find too much information on him. Could this be turn in a positive direction in terms of work rules, hours on duty ect. Prater's been pushing for it and maybe now he'll have an allie. Any thoughts?

I'm yet to hear anyone say who'd they like to see be administrator.

If not Babbitt, how about Frank Lorenzo? How does that sound? Or maybe Bob Crandall? How does everyone think that'll work?

I've got a really crazy idea. We've got one of our own in there now. Why don't you all just take a step back and give him a chance, instead of sitting around whining??

Nope...that makes too much sense.

I'll do it! Not that I have all that much experience. Guess I'll fit right in
