No ASA For UAL

[LazyLightnin']

So what is your source? You act like you are in the know - or is it just cuz you know it all?

Misery loves company.. Don't read into Ballstein's peanut gallery input.

So bye bye 20 200's! Hello overstaffing and more downgrades, reserves and furloughs. (Yes, I am aware of the no furlough clause. Companies find a way around that).
If you are keeping score at home, that is about 100 Captain positions, and another 100 FO's to carry or that they will need to shed! Happy days are ahead.

And yet many here still don't think we need to contain costs through measures like PBS, are dead set against it, and haven't even seen the road shows for the thing yet...................

Well if you contained costs, you guys would be a shoe in for all future flying across the U S of A.

or maybe it would just suck a big one.

Bama over the real USC... ND over the west coast fags..

'Bama has to learn first, not to CHOKE in big games. Oh, and they have to beat Utah where the "Tide" got obliterated in their Bowl game. Good luck with that, maybe this year they can redeem themselves.

USC has beaten ND 7 years in a row. The trend is your friend.

When you say big games, do you mean like Bama vs USC? Well, out of seven games they have played, Bama won 5 and lost 2! Smoke that in your pipe Trojan!

Hoser
Roll Tide!

 

[OCP]

You guys are weird....

 

[nerjdriver]

No it's true ASA to get CRJ200 flying for UA next week look for it.

Are you stupid enough to believe that management would say this while being bound by a confidentiality agreement?

Stupid.

Last time the Tide played USC was in the late 80's or early 90's....Most of those games Hoser are over 50 years old. 'Bama needs to learn to win a big game. You know, like Utah, or Florida. And not get beat by say 30 points or more.....

I do not believe ASA has lost this whole UAL thing. It would appear this stuff was in the works when ASA agreed to release the 20 50 seaters from the DCI fold......(my attempt at a non - hijack of a thread)

Big games are one thing.. Hows abouts we discuss some small games.

*cough* Stanford

*cough* Oregon St.

Nothing says overrated like getting beat by unranked cupcakes.


Ditto on the ASA stuff.

*ahem*, USC still won their Conference and the only big stage game loss was to Texas in 2005. Nothing says "I CHOKE" like losing the big games time and again...a la Ohio State.....Or Choklahoma......I'd put 'Bama right in their with those 2.

Thank You

College football? I'd be into it if I were an 18 yr old freshman. Red tide? WTF is that?

 

[FlyMeSWA]

back on track

From what I understand,

1) The ASA/UAX (IAD) stuff mentioned, is supposedly unrelated to the RFP that was put out that alot of people are confusing it with.

2) The rumors have died down here and other places too because of the obvious, no news, no announcement, just sit and wait and in a few more days there wont be rumors, it will instead be public knowlege. There's no point in discussing it when no one is "in the know" because of a few reasons, one menitioned earlier: insider trading rules for publically held companies. If people were acting on info thats witheld from shareholders/public, there's trouble.

So what you're trying to say is: there's nothing worth discussing.

It's amazing how uppity and uptight you all get when official news is not released until it's officially supposed to be. Relax. Slow your roll. Go back to living your life and let the news unfold when it does. When it does/does not, you're still status quo.

I guess no more football talk for all the soccer girls.

 

[Nightrain_080]

Hope y'all get some UAL flying. As much as I was against combining listS OO and ASA, I'm all for one list now. Sad days around the entire industry. Don't suck down PBS. It will only benefit the top 3rd, if your lucky.

 

[buscap]

One more star please...then let this thing die like a cat in the microwave!!!

 

[FlyMeSWA]

Yup, especially at this point. It should all be announced by the end of this month so might as well just wait and find out.

 

[10nCLR]

It's going to someone else. Sorry.

Oh, YEAAH!!!!

Agree

I think it would be better if UAL flying went to UAL - but of course I am keeping my champagne on "ice".......

I think we all agree with you here. However, I think we might as well wish in one hand and $hit in the other for all the good it would do...............

Again, the lawyers said it was ok to tell recurrent classes, but to actually put out a company memo is no good....

I mean, a memo is a memo! It's like...official.

Telling a recurrent class is not really disseminating information, it's just innocent banter. <sarcasm>

Plus, it's not like evryone's listening in recurrent anyway...

 

[flyrunner80]

skywest inc. and Mr. JA are ironing out the wrinkles in the contract with UAL. JA is making sure skywest inc makes money if UAL goes into bankruptcy.

ugh... as an auburn guy i cant believe i am explaining this. as far as i know, a long time ago a broadcaster described the alabama team taking the field as a "crimson tide" and it just stuck.... at least thats what i was told.

From RollTide.com: (note most mud dowm heah is red right? see? lol)

How the Crimson Tide Got its Name

1900 Offensive formationIn early newspaper accounts of Alabama football, the team was simply listed as the "varsity" or the "Crimson White" after the school colors.
The first nickname to become popular and used by headline writers was the "Thin Red Line." The nickname was used until 1906.
The name "Crimson Tide" is supposed to have first been used by Hugh Roberts, former sports editor of the Birmingham Age-Herald. He used "Crimson Tide" in describing an Alabama-Auburn game played in Birmingham in 1907, the last football contest between the two schools until 1948 when the series was resumed. The game was played in a sea of mud and Auburn was a heavy favorite to win.
But, evidently, the "Thin Red Line" played a great game in the red mud and held Auburn to a 6-6 tie, thus gaining the name "Crimson Tide." Zipp Newman, former sports editor of the Birmingham News, probably popularized the name more than any other writer.

Roll Tide!

Uncle Jerry and his band of Merry Mormon Accountants are diabolical geniuses at bullet- and bankruptcy-proofing their contracts. Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if that were, indeed, the holdup.
