Point well taken, 38% of our list agrees with you.

If I remember correctly, all of this came about because of the merger, BEFORE the merger was complete.

I think the company wanted all of that taken care of before the merger was complete, so there would be as few snags as possible.

That's what he was talking about.
It's interesting an incentive hasn't been thrown out, as at least that I know of, that says here is $X amount of money if you guys collectively get this done asap.

Deere John,

I'm so excited.

While we wait for Carl and T, just out of curiosity, jealousy and being scared ****less, will you please explain why you think that's true?



For those of you who don't know, Tsquare and Carl, widebody Captains from a different mother, once bitter enemies, now, thanks to SWA, BFF...



Oh and the slot swap thing, yeah, that's back...



damnit why do we have a 3 pic limit?!??!

We ought to have a poll, how many pilots wear watches?

I haven't worn a watch since 2003.

When I'm walking around in ATL I fully expect to ask Luv, hey man, what time is it? Where to get food? Hartsfield? Hartsfield-Jackson? Aw man, I'm soooo sorry...
