Someone leaked info about 3 new bases. Was anything said about them?

Pluto, Mars, and outer Mongolia...

 

[TurboAWD]

I heard that they said the pilots aren't agreeing to a contract because they are "bitter". Would have loved to have been there.

D**n right I am bitter.

But that wouldn't stop me from voting yes to a contract.

The reason Pinnnacle doesn't have a contract is that mgmt hasn't come even close to offering one that is acceptable.

If the NMB would release us, this problem would be resolved PDQ.

Have worked for and known Jerry Atkin for 10+years now. It has been my experience that he has always been honest and open (as much as he can).
He often pops into the Maintenance bases, training centers or crew lounges un-announced and “chats” with whoever happens to be there. He doesn’t even feel the need to have an armed guard with him (unlike a previous CEO did). But I guess when you stand up and tell a work group to “get on board or prepare to be wiped like a piece of S**T off my A*S” you might want a little protective beef around.
After working at some other crappy airlines I can tell you, Jerry and his boys have done alright by me. (Pass the kool-aid, tastes better than that crap the union boys were trying to get me to drink)
Now feel free to bash away.

The SEC watches very closely. And they don't take anything said lightly. Look at the Bear Stearns debacle. One short-seller is getting reamed by the SEC over "rumors" that he started and apparently had an effect over the stock. Mr. Atkin is very very astute. He really didn't say anything if you look at what kj posted.

Umm, I don't think the SEC watches anything but it's Southern brand of football continually beat up on the West coast. Thank you for coming, be sure to tip your waitress.

Is that like him being so honest when telling all the ASA crews that were being booted out of their homes, etc when closing the SLC base down that it didn't make any business sense to have both airlines sharing the same base...........and then...............opening a Skywest base in ATL, which, bu the way is the one and only base ASA crews have.

Pretty honest stuff, right there!

Guess this fair weather fan is a whittle cranky wanky that his Trojans are going to be rebuilding this year. Although, most would agree that happened last year when they got spanked by a 50 point underdog coached by Jim Harbaugh.

Psst...Trojan...its "syphilis". "Syphallus" is a little too close to "phallus". Just tryin' to help a brutha out.

Was ASA operating the same exact type of aircraft as SkyWest in SLC? YES!

Was SkyWest operating the same exact type of aircraft as ASA in ATL? NO!

Uh, I think that sums it all up.

Thanks Wally, but if I spell it right that crybaby will call the moderators. He's already done it a few times. He won't even post his team cuz he's that much of a wuss. :crying: Baby crybaby who has to run to the moderators. Mommy mommy mommy.....:crying:

The Irish did indeed suck this past year...and I don't think Charlie is gonna get it together this year either. Personally, I think firing Tyrone was pretty bogus. Eh, just whatever...they're my secondary team. My primary team (Go Mean Green!) sucked even worse this past season. What can I say, I like "underdogs" (it builds character)...which I'm aware does not explain my support of ND.

All of that...and I just can't stand USC, UTexas, and Ohio State.

Which makes winning all that more fun!! I agree, Tyrone got the shaft all the while making the school look worse--works for me! Tyrone is doing a great job at UDub and will build a great program there.

You should see how these redneck sister mounting rednecks feel about USC -- Southern California in da Souf. They don't much like USC -- Especially when we win -- which is a lot lately. Makes for GOOD TIMES!

PS. I hate texas too. We can agree on that. See? Common ground.

Too bad the Trojans will not nut up and schedule a home and home with my team, Boise State. Oregon and Oregon State are man enough. But not Pete Carroll. Talk about your wusses.

Trojan, we've been finding a little too much of that lately...it's kinda scary.

And I should point out that I hate the Longhorns, not the state. Texas is very much home...

Why schedule Boise St? When you can have Ohio State? Which game do you think would bring in more revenue? Oregon and Oregon State are in the Pac 10, therefore they have to play them EVERY YEAR. Boise State is in the WAC, therefore out of Conference, probably gonna have to schedule YEARS in advance. If you look at 'SC's non-conf schedule, it's pretty dam scary. Notre Shame is a given because of the rivalry. Virginia (at Virgina) and Ohio State is not too shabby.

Back to the thread.....JRDesquire is a crybaby wuss. MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY, mommy mommy, mommy he called me names :bawling: WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Oh wait, that's not the thread title, sorry.

As I recall, the University of Idaho Vandals are also a WAC team. And furthermore, did the Trojans not play them this past season? Also, aren't the Vandals consistently listed in the Bottom 10 of all 119 teams? If your team is going to play a powderpuff OOC team, they could at least try to take on the best Non-BCS team in the country. That's ok though, they'll do your Trojans a favor by adding one to the loss column for Oregon this year.

'SC's D coordinator Nick Holt came directly from Head Coaching the Idaho Vandals. While he was at Idaho, that game was scheduled. And if you want to look at scheduling patsies, you better look East to the SEC. They usually schedule Citadel, W. Kentucky, S. Georgia and play them at HOME. As the SEC rarely travels. 2007 is last year, last I checked, 2008 is what we're waiting for. If Notre Shame ever comes out of their hole, I'd say 'SC has one of the toughest NON-CONF schedules out there. Plus 'SC travels to play.

Hey, maybe Boise State can make it to the tidy bowl and play pitt for 9th place. I hope so, that will be really exciting and probably record breaking for the State. Smurf turf can then be marketed all around and every student will then get free education from all that revenue!

Non-Conf. games are usually scheduled YEARS in advance. Most of the time with the ebb and flow of programs rising and falling, you can never know how "good" teams will be 4 years from now.

Snooze. Basic BCS-Conference Fan Rhetoric. Because Boise State could never beat Oklahoma. Oh wait. Boise State could never beat Oregon State twice. Oh wait. Tidy Bowl. Classic. Never heard that before. Smurf Turf, how original.

We all know the reason the BCS conferences schedule the powderpuffs. It's in order to pad the win columns of each of the conferences teams in order to qualify as many teams as possible for a bowl. A BCS conference can be dropped from the ranks and replaced by a non-BCS conference if that Non-BCS Conference has a higher winning percentage than said BCS Conference. Go ahead and keep scheduling the patsies, and then hope for a miracle comeback against Fresno State again. Oh, also another WAC team. Go figure.
