They already have water rationing. You get a ticket if you get caught washing your car down there (not that they wash their cars anyway).

I hit dirt in Alatoona about 300ft from shore. When I wanted to take my boat out, I had to go to a marina 2 miles away from the one I had my boat at since the ramp was about 10ft above the water

Everyone you know has a cabin.
You consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through 18 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping the food will swim by.
You are proud that your state makes the national news 96 nights each year because International Falls is the coldest spot in the nation.
You have refused to buy something because it's too "spendy."
You're a card-carrying member of both the NRA and the ACLU.

You grew up thinking rice was only for dessert.
You think that ketchup is a little too spicy.
You drink POP, not SODA.
You always believed that vacation meant "going up north."
Every January, from age 2 to l3, you let your older siblings talk you into putting your tongue on a steel post.
You consider Lime Jell-O a highly versatile food: a breakfast dish when filled with fruit, a salad when it has shredded carrots and a dab of mayonnaise, and a dessert when topped with Dreamwhip.
You never had to rewind any part of "Fargo" because you missed some of the dialogue.
You call highways freeways.
Your town has an annual festival honoring a fruit, vegetable, or ethnic food.
The first time you saw "Grumpy Old Men," you thought it was a documentary.
You can recite, from memory, more than a half-dozen "Ole and Lena" jokes.

IMO we should just wait until DAL goes bankrupt again by expanding into one of the worst financial markets in the history of the United States while oil is at a record high. Then we can pick up their pieces, invert their seniority list and offer preferential interviews in that order. Only after a thorough psychological screening of course.
Sorry I just wanted to post with my new avatar.imp:
Interesting. The Last word I got is that Delta's stand alone plan is to take deliveries of the remaining 757s, 13--not 8--777s in the next 13 months, the 10 737-700s (primarily for international flying), and possibly some MD90s. This is in direct response to inflating oil. All deliveries are set to expand internationally, which is where the money is currently being made. Domestic is going down, hence the drawdown of Comair. Hence, the inexplicable increase of Compass. The numbers are out there. Delta's RASM is on the steady rise, NWA's is on the decrease. They are relying on a 787 which has been delayed, and delayed to be their salvation on international RASM.
I'm telling you guys, the picture is going to look a lot different in a year when this thing gets shoved, not asked, and you'll lose your DOH anyway.
Choose wisely

I dont' work for NWA. Perhaps it's a case of Stockholm syndrome from riding on their jump-seat every week.
The point is NWA believes they are bringing jobs to the table. Most Delta guys on Flightinfo apparently don't believe this. I can't say for certain either of these opinions are the majority at each respective company, but my information is based on the NWA pilots I have spoken to. Mostly 757 and 320, also one 330 guy.
I can say for certain that if NWA guys believe they bring jobs to the table and DAL guys say they don't there won't be a consensual deal.

If you're cold you're doing it wrong. Other than that you are pretty much right on the money....it's great!
NWALPA isn't bringing any vacancies due to a staffing formula. Those vacancies don't exist outside of a merger and then are only created once the DAL PWA staffing formula and work rules are applied. If anything the DAL pilots, through their collective bargaining priorities, created the need for those positions, while the NWA pilots, through their collective bargaining priorities, eliminated the requirement for those jobs.
NWALPA has no pre merger expectation of those positions, and they would only exist post merger due to the hard work and sacrifice of the DAL pilots.
Not sure if this was already mentioned but if this merger happens all of the DC9's (including those scheduled for retirement) will stay for 4 more years. At least that is the information I have received. Now just get the current NWA guys to agree to stay in them for those 4 years and we might have something.

Funny, that guy looks like he's 6'1" and 125 pounds....
But seriously, I haven't seen self-love like that since Stuart Smalley. FDJ, you go on repeating to yourself "you're good enough, you're smart enough, and doggone it, people like you."
