This evening, important negotiations took place. These negotiations were not held with a mediator from the National Mediation Board, but I observed them to ensure their fairness. I was favorably impressed with the quality of negotiations, especially considering the difference in relative experience between the two sides. The parties were: … Continue reading →

So when I wrote “Packing” in the subject line, that drew at least one misconception. This outta do at least that well 😉 But this *is* the quickie (sorry y’all… the juicy stuff is gonna have to wait for now). Been packing this week. Do you have any idea how … Continue reading →

This job has it all. It’s got the good, the bad, and the ugly. On these pages have been accounts of some of the good. This is the story of the bad and the ugly. The line I bid this month started with a commercial (deadhead) to Frankfurt. Based on … Continue reading →
