CNBC reports US Air / United in merger talks
WRONG!!!!!!! ALPA Merger policy would have NOTHING to do with it. McCaskill/Bond would govern, as both companies have 'different unions'!!!!! ALPA merger policy only prevails 'IF' Both carriers (companies) are represented by ALPA, GOT IT!!! McCaskill/Bond is 'new' and has never been... -

1500+ furlough TWA F/A's to be trained as AA SCABS
Well, that's because its an 'Associaton'!!! It says it in the name; just an 'association' of pilots. You know like the Pro Golfer Association, right, and they're not a union, are they??? No. As long as the Association just lets management pit one MEC/group again another, and act like they... -

UA "national seniority list"
Yes, as Eagle said, Pan Am has (11) L-1011-500s and (9) B-747SPs (think those are the right #s) that only flew the Pacific routes and all went to UAL with the routes. UAL contracted out the Mx on the 1011s and only flew them for about 1 yr. or so, until they could get 747s to replace them. UAL... -

WN Expresses Interest in LGA/DCA Slots
Well, since you decided to get back on the topic; more 'gates' would do NO good, as you have to have 'slots' to fly more flights at LGA. And, don't work for SWA or any of the airlines involved, but the 'slots' were allocated to the airline that have them, either from 'grandfathered' rights, or... -

WN Expresses Interest in LGA/DCA Slots
I'm sorry, but what was this Thread Originally supposed to be about again???? oh, Nevermind. -

UA "national seniority list"
WRONG!!!! But, don't feel bad, as it is a commonly held misconception. DOH was removed from ALPA merger policy in the Spring of 1991! And, a 'Gold Star' for anyone who can name the event and group that prompted it???? Anyone?? For what its worth. PD -

UA "national seniority list"
Well, I don't want to sound like Mr. Roger's but let me help you learn a few 'new words' just three; 'Fences, Conditions and Restrictions' Any merger/integration of seniority whether done by DOH or otherwise, should contain specific Fences, Conditions and Restrictions; then your concerns are... -

10,000 TSA staff to get secret intel
Of course they NEED access to 'INTELLIGENCE' since All of us know that right now, there NO INTELLIGENCE currently with the TSA!!!! Question: How much INTELLIGENCE can you possibly inject into a MORON?? (sorry, have to correct myself; an 'overpaid, useless MORON') TSA = A lot of wasted... -

Turf War in DEN. Grab your stick - it's ON!
Gup, Your right, it is going to be a 'battle' NO major airport has ever supported a '3 airline' domestic hub situation; it usually shakes out to 2 players in the end. I know some might talk of JFK with DAL, AA and JB; but AA and DAL ops are mainly in support of their Int'l hub/feed and not... -

What airline will be most affected by snowstorm? NEED TO SHORT SOME STOCK
Well let's see....No One shopping, everyone 'snowed in' (VA to New England, the largest population base in the country) on the busiest shopping weekend of the Christmas season, with an already 'questionable' to lousy holiday shopping year. That said, maybe 'shorting' some of the retailers... -

Senate panel increases pressure on FAA’s fatigue solution
Well the FAA was definitely Not all over those guys back in the 40s and most of the 50s, as the FAA was not created until 1958. Quite ironically, after a very disturbing string of accidents created the call for a Gov't agency 'dedicated to regulation of safety' Funny, What happen to that... -

200 more furloughs at USairways
Well, all that babble, and all I did is ask you if you knew the answer to the question that I ask; and of course, You DON'T. ENUFF SAID, you don't know the answer, so you don't know what you are talking about. I proved my point, I said enough on the subject, continue arguing with with the... -

200 more furloughs at USairways
Look, don't have a dog in this fight, just like 'shark' but like him; just get alittle tired of the BS and misinformation. Shark is A LOT closer to the truth than you are, AWA did not 'purchase' AAA, didn't have any 'credit' or anything to 'borrow' on; but as he clearly states, believe what you... -

200 more furloughs at USairways
Again, is this what they call; 'Shrinking to Profitability'!!! I guess when they shrink to '0' they will nolonger be 'losing' money??? More BS with most airlines running LF in the 80s, and many talking of a probable rebound in air travel next year; you just have to wonder??? Thank God... -

Put Down The Laptops and Fly the Plane NWA
At least your guy had something to back him up as to why it happened. Well, i can even remember the charter airline (i think it was a B737) that had an actual 'wet T-shirt contest' on the airplane, inflight, during spring break time; and they managed not to 'overshoot' the airport. Heck... -
