I am for giving the man a chance. I do have my limits though. You seem to want to put on blinders and peek out in 4 years and see how he did. Is that a smart approach?
The bankruptcy judges that threw out pensions, and the National Mediation Board got their marching orders from the previous administration, thank you!
So if you know what is going to happen over the next 4 years, enlighten us! Hell, tell me what the damn lottery numbers are going to be so I can retire tomorrow. To say the man is going to make things worse and he hasn't even been in office a month is a little naive on your part! You are speaking from both ends! ( I know you didn't make the original statement, but now you are validating the statement made by Crj567 by acting like you DO know what is going to happen)! Maybe you need to run for congress or the presidency, if you have such foresight!

I see you fly or have flown the C-17. Do not be mistaken. I love my country and I fought for her in the United States Air Force and I loved every moment of it (glad to have served, great experience, great people). I don't think this president is trying to make this country a socialist country (you brought up the word above). He has his ideas and in a democracy the american citizens cast their votes! (NO, I'm not drinking very sober...thank you)

Why would anyone opposed to Obama's polices give him a chance? Is that what the left did for Bush? Or is the right being nice and giving in to Obama "change"? I "hope" not!
 
term Limits!
 
This year will be an interesting year for AirTran. If fuel stays close to where it is today, this will probable be a good year for AirTran. They have started recalling the 169 pilots furloughed and upgrades have begun again. Considering all that is going on in our economy, I just pray the company will do well this year. Having been furloughed in my career, I don't wish that on anyone. It is tough out there.
 
The bankruptcy judges that threw out pensions, and the National Mediation Board got their marching orders from the previous administration, thank you! Judges do not get marching orders from an administration. Its called Separation of Powers. Congress passes law.
So if you know what is going to happen over the next 4 years, enlighten us! Never said I knew what would happen but I have an opinion on how things are handled. Hell, tell me what the damn lottery numbers are going to be so I can retire tomorrow. 4-9-12-34-23-11 and 44 for the powerball. I am sure of these! To say the man is going to make things worse and he hasn't even been in office a month is a little naive on your part! No it is not. Trusting him blindly is naive on your part. You are speaking from both ends! I believe the term is speaking from both sides of your mouth...not both ends. ( I know you didn't make the original statement, but now you are validating the statement made by Crj567 by acting like you DO know what is going to happen)! You should take a class in reading comprehension. I have no idea where you are getting this idea. Maybe you need to run for congress or the presidency, if you have such foresight! Foresight does not get one elected.

I see you fly or have flown the C-17, don't be mistaken. Mistaken about what? I love my country and I fought for her in the United States Air Force and I loved every moment of it (glad to have served, great experience, great people). Thank you! I don't think this president is trying to make this country a socialist country (you brought up the word above). I guess I did. What I meant was some of his policies are socialist and I think there are better ways to go about fixing problems we face. He has his ideas and in a democracy the american citizens cast their votes! Yes they did. So, since the citizens voted for Bush should we have all just shut up and colored when he was trying to work his agenda? (NO, I'm not drinking very sober...thank you) That is too bad. It would have been a good excuse.

Dude,
I am going to give you the clue back. What are you talking about in your rants? Did you even read what I wrote???

No one is safe in this economy-Obama will only make it far worse.

Only an idiot thinks that they can predict the economy based on what is spoon-fed to them by right wing talk radio and bloggers.
 
Where Bush did a great job is protecting us from another major terrorist attack. That was his #1 priority without question.

I only hope Obama can do as good of a job. If the economy is struggling now, throw in another 9/11 and see where we end up. Good luck to us all.


You have to be joking!!!!!!! Bush destroyed any hope we had in the near term of putting a lid on Muslim extremists. He enraged even the moderate Muslims of the world with his ignorant policies. Now we have Iraq, which used to be a great counter to Iran, in complete disarray. The only thing keeping the Iraqi people from killing themselves are miles and miles of walls keeping different feuding religions/tribes apart.

Obama: "we have an outstretched hand to Muslim countries and will gladly take yours as long as you unclench your fist." That's called being a realist and fixing problem.
 
Its kinda funny how people forget that we never really had to deal with Iran because of Iraq. Having a strong Iraq that hated Iran was really a pretty good thing. Now, we have an Iraq that could never stand up to Iran, and Iran is building nukes.... IMO, Ill take Sadam back any day. At least then we don't have to worry about a nulcear Iran...
 
Talk about thread creep!

From AirTran to Eye-ran . . . . talk about thread creep. No wonder I don't spend much time here anymore.


2008 was the first unprofitable year since 1999. The sky is not falling. AirTran will be in a solid position for the next few quarters. If oil stays low, we'll be around for a while.

If it shoots back up over $120., look for a trip thru Chapt 11.
