Tried this question via P.M. but your mailbox is full:

Would you mind shedding some light on why you are guessing Dec 9th. Thanks in advance.

I think we can afford to get those three a case of fine brew for crying out loud.

Tredd PM me and I'll send you ten bucks if you'll ship it out.

Congrats to the winners!
Always bet right = don't go to the dark side!

Any of those lucky enough to start in Jan - will you let the rest of us know how many they are really planning to start this year?

Thanks,
Les

Since I was only three days off Picking the 9th and no one else chose the 9th... I would like to volunteer to take the case of beer so you don't have to make a difficult deccision on which of the three lucky winners to send the beer to.

This will also save you postage if you decide to split it three ways.


Just trying to help!!!



I can't freaking wait to get to big D. Congratulations to all you January soon to be newhires.

AND THE WINNER IS......

You guys kill me!

Especially you Oak, what a kind soul you are for offering to "help" - your offer was considered - NOT!!

And you Righty... nice try, the other 2 don't drink, yea, right, SURE they don't......

Qxe - thanks for the offer to help out with the purchase of 3 cases... mighty nice of you - all of your offers were SO helpful.

However,

As stated in an earlier post - in the event of a tie - he/she who posted the correct date 1st WINS the GRAND prize!!!!! Drum roll PLEASE!

The correct date is January 6, 2003

Aplus9 posted his guess on 9.11.02

RightBettor posted the guess on 9.6.02

And JPB posted the guess on 9.5.02

SO the winner IS JPB - congratulations to JPB - however you did request a bottle of either '82 or '89 Ch. Latour. I do have a '90 in the cellar, but that is for the night I get MY call from a CP to come to DAL.... AND this was a BEER pool, not a wine pool (although I completly agree with your taste for fine wines, as a matter of fact we enjoyed a '92 Silver Oak Alex Vly last night for our anniversary!) Pardon me I.... I got off track there....

SO - JPB, what kind of B E E R would you like???? Please post your choice here for all to view - then PM me your shipping address so I can get it in the mail to you asap!!!!!

Thanks to ALL for playing - it was fun to pass the last couple of months with you all, waiting for the next class to be announced!!

I look forward to meeting you all soon - some in class and others while hanging out in OAK to start? and then PHX (my current home and future domicile!)

GOod luck in school for you lucky dogs soon to dry off!!

Regards - Tred

 

[secondtime]

Might I suggest Keystone!!!

Bottled beer taste in a .... Bottle!

 

[tredding@swa]

JPB???

Has anyone heard from the WINNER??!?!

Waiting to hear from you JPB so I can ship out the grand prize!!!!?

Send me your address via PM and the goodies will be coming your way!!!

Have a great day, especially all of you low numbered pool rats!!!

From JPB's wife

Hi all!
This is JPB's wife--just wanted to let you guys know that JPB's on a trip until tomorrow nite.
I was so happy to see that my brilliant husband won us a case of beer! What a guy! LOL We've never won anything... what a momentous occasion!
And since he's not here to claim it, I vote for Harp! (I do get to vote in his absence right?!?!)
Anyway, just thought I'd speak up on hubby's behalf before Righty tries to undermine the outcome.
Thanks tredding... you'll be hearing from him soon!

JPB's wife

(P.S. Once you guys are on board, pick up some trips to MHT and stop by and visit... I'm an Ops Agent with SWA, and would luv to meet you all!)

 

[tredding@swa]

Mrs. JPB

Thanks for the reply - as far as I'm concerned - Harp it IS!!

Hardly seems like the time of year for a COLD beer in MHT... BRrrrrr!?

Expect your winnings in a few days!! Enjoy, and thanks for the invite when in MHT, I'm sure we will all have a chance to RON there one day - as soon as we get out of this darn pool!!!

Have a great day! Tred

Towel

Tredding,

Where'd ya get that sexy towel? I'd luv to have one!



Slug

 

[tredding@swa]

towel...

A towel would be appropriate!?!? You crack me up Slug!

Actually, it's a t-shirt I had made for me, tan w/ the custome "logo" from www.createatee.com

I think it was about $26 including shipping & it took about 2 weeks from order to having it on my moist back.... hope this is what you are looking for??

Have fun - Tred

 

[PTinbound]

I think you oughta take that design and find a way to put it on a towell. Heck, I bet if somebody volunteered to do some reasearch, we could find some vendor out there to make 361 towells for real cheap. Heck, I'd pay ten or fifteen bucks for one. Then we could all wear them around our necks to class with our interview suits for the first two days...

JPB's wife's husband
Hard to write with tears in my eyes.
Today is a day of liberation, a day that will be remembered and published in the next edition of NUTS and other serious historical material.
I don't know where to start!!!
I would like to thank my parents for having me
My wife for taking command when needed, requested or .....just about anytime.
My courageous flight instructor without whom i would not be here today
Not to forget the airline industry for making this job so....unpredictable.

I still have some time???
ok, ok

Thanks, Tredding. Great idea to start with.
I love this group and i can't wait to be part of the greatest company in the world.

I will return the favor to my classmates (in April?*) during happy hour. Everybody is invited!!


* I can give you the exact date but it's gonna cost.
