Men, Life itself is an exercise in "give and take". As long as you take more than you give, you're winning. Just follow a simple rule and everything will be fine - don't give anything that is valuable to you.
For example, back in April of 06, when the FedGov required security tng, the company wanted to save the costs of bringing every pilot into Mirimar and paying them 4 hours and the union wanted to save every pilot from having a day stolen from his life to attend tng. So they made a deal. The union allowed the company to pay two hours pay for one hours tng time and gained these items: the pilot was able to arrange a tng time that was suitable to the pilots timetable and gained a THREE HOUR reserve call out. If you've ever been a junior pilot sitting reserve, you KNOW how good of a deal that was, and now you know that it cost virtually NOTHING.

I wonder if they are after Vancouver or Seattle's public. On the other hand, who really cares as long as we have the business.
The IPO road show video shows an increase in flights on the Canadian border, Maybe this is the beginning.

Well never mind. Reuters just announced the IPO is delayed and this hours from going public. Great. That doesn't sound good.
