Rumors SWA has 737-900ER's in sights

[BILL LUMBERG]

Your own airline, Atlas Air Cargo, came out of Chap 11 BK in 2004. You knew that, right?


Bye Bye---General Lee

Nice work GL......we're done with THIS guy!

 

[redflyer65]

The facts are tough things.

Both Northwest and Delta entered bankruptcy before the new laws changed at the end of Sept. 2005.

Completely fabricated. All leases and contracts re-negotiated because 'we said so'. Pathetic when you look at it for what it was. A way to shed debt because they couldn't manage their way out of it. Management failure, not the pilots or other labor groups. They had to take the pay cuts, again pathetic.

 

[Quimby]

It's not a plan but you asked what I'd prefer. I'm not an airplane guy so I guess I'd prefer to not work.

I'd prefer to not have to work for anyone else, too. You pretty much dodged the question.....maybe you've been watching the debates?

That's pretty bold Kramer......it wasn't fun to go through, and I hope you never have to, at your company or personally. But, this country believes in second (and sometimes third, fourth) chances. If you don't like that, move to Russia. Some people make a lot of money in BK, like the lawyers. Some people never recover. That's life and business in the USA.

Gl. I is was being facetious about the Personal Pan pizza.

 

[flint4xx]

They don't sell thousands and thousands of airplanes that suck. Sheesh.

Wasn't a slam on you General. Both bankruptcies were a sham to reduce their cost because of poor management and the opportunity to get it done before the laws changed. You disagree?

No comment on that, but the key is that BK protection is there for everyone. I hope you or your company don't have to go through it, ever.

[BILL LUMBERG]

I agree with BOTH Red AND GL?

The exchange above makes me suspicious that something is in the water....

 

[redflyer65]

Scotch is in the water.

 

[fr8doggie]

Scotch is in the water.

Where can I buy this water?

 

[onionluvr]

Where can I buy this water?

It's a scam...don't fall for it. Just buy the scotch and add the water.

.......Or just buy the scotch.

 

[Lear70]

Adding water to Scotch is sacrilege. Just a couple ice cubes to cool it off, that's it.

Balvenie 12 Year Single Malt Doublewood or Caribbean cask.

 

[scoreboardII]

On this Lear and I agree. That or Oban.

 

[Juniority]

No need to hurry to the gate, we're flying the "l8te-hundred" today...

 

[Lear70]

On this Lear and I agree. That or Oban.

Funny how despite all our differences, pilots usually agree on booze, women, and guns. Oh, and grills...

 

[Tarheelherk]

Dalmore 18!! Water is sacrilege but a cube or two it's as close to perfect as it gets! Of course a 21 or even the impossible 30 plus is closer but not on a pilots salary!

 

[KNOTS]

Come on General, no one would get a personal pan before going to those destinations. Just hold out and save the calories for better food.

AUS has BBQ
ABQ has green chile soup
LAS has the Roach coach
and OMA is a tie, I would hold out for godfathers personally.

LOL...and where the General flies, they have malaria.

 

[i fly boxes]

Just don't let spirit get ahold of that plane they will probably put 300 on it

 

[General Lee]

I don't fly to Africa by choice, but you probably knew that. If not, please take note, Knots.

Any of the Macallans is perfection, but anything past 15 gets pricey. The 18 is amazing but haven't had the funds to try anything older. A splash of water to open the flavor is needed OR an ice cube, not both.

 

[nimtz]

Any 900 Airframe will surely perform like a dream out of MDW!

 

[Boxboy]

Nothing really compares to the 75. It was a clean sheet design.

Would you rather make $250,000 flying a 737, or $150,000 in a "really big jet"?

+1. 73 is not glamorous by any means but it gets the job done. Time off and $$$.

You're going to like the MBJ overnights. Macallan 18 year is about $60. No joke, have a bottle sitting on my bar at home. Well... Half a bottle now.

 

[RogerMOSA]

I'm starting to bring my own on the road. Oban 18 cost me $30(pre-discount) in MSP last week.:crying: I agree on one ice cube....

I found this interesting for Scotch drinkers....
