I was, of course, in Jr High when that came out. Carl on the other hand was a roadie for Rick's band.......

That was so long ago, I hadn't even interviewed for assistant greenskeeper.

If I managed to "Rick Roll" Carl, life's nearly complete.

I'm thinking this is how it will be remembered after the arbitrators make their decision.

BB,
What is up with your avatar? Now I'm going to have nightmares about that SOB coming to steal everything he didn't get the first time. Talk about a Bogeyman.

I know, I nearly shot my mac tonight when I saw his picture. I think Chmn. Mao would be just as appropriate as an avatar as Leo.

I thought Leo Mullin Rick Rollin' someone was funny, but I'm weird that way.

Someone else already has Carl Spackler. Frank Lorenzo and Bill Lumberg are also taken. I'll see what goofy avitar I can round up while we wait to learn our SLI fate. I'll see if I can find "the Dude, his dude'ness, the dude'erino'."

This fits.... the Dude abides.

"Oh man, not the carpet". One of the great film classics of our time. Outstanding.

Nonsense. This goes back to the much earlier he-said-she-said rhetoric. This kind of BS serves no purpose, and it is out of our hands at this point.

I agree the deal will get done during the last few days before the arbitrator's decision, or possibly even after.

We will have an SLI, we will be working together, we will all be grumbling a bit, we will fly together and be professional, we will drink beer together on layovers, and many of will make new friends......

Yep, great movie, unlikely to show up on Delta on Demand.

You're right it certainly doesn't help anything right now.

A DAL MEC member told me that NWA made a proposal with a ratio. That ratio ran out of NWA pilots with 3,000 DAL pilots left over.

The reason I bring this up is that it confirms how far apart the two groups were at one point in time. I doubt that an agreement will be made based on the previous starting points of both groups. My money is on the arbitrated outcome. But who knows.
