No ASA For UAL

[LazyLightnin']

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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

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.

Hoser
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.





More to come...
