What's your point then partner?

You have no control over any thing that would happen anyways.

That is not entirely true. If they were to merge the seniority list, XJT's contract requires it to be merged in accordance with Allegheny Mohawk LPP sections 3 & 13 (since Skywest is not ALPA). This would be negotiated between the pilots of XJT and Skywest management. So, in fact, the pilots at XJT would have a say in it and the pilots of Skywest would have NO say in it.

Of course this assumes Skywest buys XJT AND they decide to merge the lists. Those, we have no control over.

I guess you didn't read the post then? He said at least our planes dont look like they were squeezed out of a tube of toothpaste, hence me saying i wouldn't go that far, partner.

Ok, so ours looks like a stripper hopping out of a birthday cake, some look like a Diet Coke can, and some look like the bastard children of an AA Widebody. Much better visual than some Aquafresh.

Very true......

You forgot to mention record deficit spending and lack of oversight in the financial sector (remember the S&L collapse fiasco?). All of this caused the economic recession of the late 80s (remember the stock market crash of 88?) and early 90s. The deficit was not reduced until Clinton balanced the budget in the mid 90s. Then the economy prospered until 9/11.

It needs to be noted that the VSI on the overall economy was trending toward the bottom of the case well before September 11. However, I'm not entirely convinced that the individual in the oval office has a dramatic affect on the overall economy. Much like Eli and the Giants, the folks who should really be getting the credit, the defensive line [the American consumer], are often at the bottom of the dais looking up at the newly minted MVP. (Work with me here, I know Strahan made a trip to the top, but I don't recall one complete sentence from him, with both a subject and a verb.)
As a ferinstance, the argument could be made that it was Reagan's social and economic policies that led to the recovery from the general malaise of the '70s. All the money spent defeating the "Evil Empire" ultimatetly did find it's way to the bank accounts of the American Consumer. "Trickle down" success, right? Objectively, would any American say that they were better off in 1976 than they were in 1986?
(Frankly, it's my opinion that history has shown that the concept behind 'trickle-down' economics is fundamentally flawed. Individuals in the economy don't behave to further the interests of the economy; no, they make choices to further their own personal needs and wants.)
Now, let's fast forward 10 years. Would any objective American, whatever that term means, really think that they were better off if 1986 than they were in 1996? Most likely not. Two totally different ideologies in the Oval Office (plus the 90's Oval Office featured a slightly stained, size 14, blue dress from the Gap), but the same economic net result. Provided that there is a general belief that there will be a strong, sound America for the future, the American consumer will continue to power the overal economy. Aggregate demand will continue to grow, thus ensuring that the economy, with it's ebbs and flows, will continue to drive America.
My fondness for Reagan is based of the security he provided America while he was in charge. When Reagan was around, there was never any doubt as to just who had the biggest pair in the room. Americans went to bed at night safe in the belief that the sun would rise tomorrow on a free, secure, and enduring way of life.
One could make a solid argument that irresponsible choices in defence and intelligence priorities during the 90's led directly to the acts of war commited on 11 Sep, 2001. We got the last Jose' Padilla. Can anyone really, honestly, think that we'll be in a better position to get the next Padilla under a second Clinton administration?


Got to look at the big picture. It kills me when you republicans talk about how Reagan was next to God and Ditka. Sure, he won the "Cold War". But it was at the expense of our economy, our environment, education, labor, and the middle class. What did we really win?

Well, as I demonstrated above, at excess length, probably, I don't give a whole lot of credit to the occupant of the Oval Office when it comes to matters of economy. As well, it's tough to make an economic argument for one particular president. (Except Roosevelt-my exception, and he was nominally a Democrat.) As well, for every Al Gore out there, there is an Ann Coulter who can produce 'scientific' studies proving the environment is acting exactly as it historically has.
What did we win from the cold war? At the risk of sounding too dramatic, we won the ability to have this argument. Hydrocarbons might or might not be causing changes to the environment, but a stream of ions searching for a home as a result of World War Three would have a definate impact on the environment.

Finally, I think that Ann Coulter is extremely hot. I'm plagiarizing here, but I would hit that like the hand of god.

Stoopid server, double post.

+1 on the Coulter thing, though.

 

[XPOO]

Ann Coulter, Kari Byron....good thing that God has TWO hands!

Lighten up, Francis.

Poo,

Don't normally agree with you, but could you imagine how much fun a trio with those two girls would be? I'm talking out of this world, hands fell off of the clock, un-f***ing believable good times. "Hey Kari, I heard global warming was a liberal plot!"..."Hey Ann, I think that Hillary has a better rack than you do..."

Let the games BEGIN!!!!

 

[XPOO]

A waterbed and some baby oil.....and let the games begin!

 

[WalterSobchak]

...Kari Byron....

Mmmm...Kari Byron...

Speaking of hot...someone mentioned the name Kelli Kapowski in the office yesterday...needless to say, Tiffani Thiessen is now my desktop picture.

 

[10nCLR]

oh and don't forget about the 100 proof and the Kool-Aid. Oh, Yeaahhh!!!!!!

 

[XPOO]

Tiffany-Amber Theissen is yesterday's old news...might as well be talking about Vanessa Marcil or Elizabeth Berkley.

Are you kidding me? My recollection of the 80s is that all of us thought we were going to get nuked any day. and Regan was just crazy enough to push the button first. Biggest pair? Not such a good thing.

Oh, Glenn, you're one sick puppy. Ann Coulter? I should show this to your wife!
