That assumes they would listen to science.

Exactly, living life in IMC and ignoring everything else is doing yourself a disservice. The earth is much older than 4-6k years old.

I agree. Was going with the being the last one left metaphor. I hear there is a creation museum in Hebron,KY that also says that humanity is only 6000 years old. How can you argue carbon dating?

What is the rumor about pass travel benefits? I heard J.B. talking about it on his audio message, but I haven't heard anything? is Daddy D considering restructuring the NRSA system?

There was a rumor that Comair employees would become S3C (like Freedump, ASA, etc). That was a while ago and it's still floating around out there, I guess.

1.Carbon dating is a made up "science" created by non-believers to try to disprove the Bible.

2. Dinosaurs never existed. How could they have? They are not mentioned in the Bible.

3. One day nothing, next day the Earth and sky, then BAM! people. And the next day, BAM! cows and goats for the people to eat....and so on....and so on.

4. Uhoh, I caught myself writing about one of the things you should never talk about...religion and politics! So, may I digress? Comair sucks

Oh yeah, and by the way...I do not believe any of the 3 things mentioned here

Let's see....Delta merges with Northwest.
-DCI moves to MSP
-Shake up in route system
-Comair now operations Northwest Airlink flights after Northwest is conforming to Delta.
-Travel benefit system is being redone to put everyone in the same sandbox.
-Regional Handling Service. (Flight crews will be know as Regional Something Services)

They are literally preparing Comair for a merge with another regional, or holding company. They are doing it right in front of us, but some people are just too niave to see it.

Turbo...just because he asked about changing travel benefits doesn't mean he's naive about the company merging. DAL as a whole is streamlining all of its assets including its regional ops, ground handling, etc. Comair being a DAL asset (in theory at least) is gonna feel that effect too. We could merge and still have the same travel benefits, its just that the flights are gonna be too full to get on anyways.

Sorry, but carbon dating is not nearly accurate enough to come up with dates that old. That is a widely known fact. Radiometric dating is what you are trying to cite.

There was another rumor going around right before I got f'd that we'd be given Mesaba and Compass nonrev benefits, which eliminates S2 travel and the ability to sit in First Class. Don't know how true that is about Airlink folks not having access to first class or not, I don't know anything about their benefits.
