The Gold's in Florissant will give you a 10 week membership if you buy $100 worth of their stuff.

Okay then do pushups and run. There is a good trail right down the road.

Go to Ferguson and see how fast you can run through it. Seems like a heck of a trail to me.

As long as there are airplanes to fly for the near future, Ill be a happy man....

No problem, good luck with your career!

They are already doing that with E175, and they are very close to the limit of airframes allowed. As the majors continue to pillage the regional pilot groups combined with fewer and fewer applicants at the regionals to backfill, we may very well see more flying returned to mainline.

Gee, you almost sound hopeful that management would violate scope. There are few ways to simply ignore negotiated contract language, 1) Force Majuere which would be negotiated as part of the agreement, and it was not, in this case, negotiated for scope, 2) Bankruptcy, which could happen at any time, however, we are recording record profits, stock is through the roof for the airline industry, and oil has fallen below $50/brl.

I am here to have a discussion, why you can't understand that is beyond me. The only conclusion I can come to, based on your posts, is that the long term reality doesn't look as pretty as the near term so you simply want focus on the near term. Let me guess, you're a recruiter aren't you?

Sorry to pop your balloon, I'll see what I can do about getting you a Unicorn.

They will reduce 4-5 seats per aircraft to get all on property.

Ok, would it make you happy if we didn't offer furloughed ALPA pilots jobs? Ok, sorry if anyone in the future gets furloughed(hopefully no one will) please don't apply here and we won't hire you so that knobcrk will have a positive view of our operation.
