Well, they are announcing layoffs this week. If Jenn or I aren't here on Monday, you'll know what happened

Tim's new job
Just spotted him on the tail of a Frontier jet heading to Denver. He now goes by the name Chocolate. He is happy to be flying around with his fellow furry friends.

Ohhh, Chocolate??? Reminds me of the Bird Cage, where the Senators last words were "the money's on the dresser, Chocolate."

Note to AS
Jenn is an underacheiver that deserves to be sent packing. She just hangs there with a stupid smile & can't answer many very simple questions. She would fit right in at UA or SW. Perhaps a community effort to buy lots of Moose Chow will convince AS that Tim is the more valuable one.

Jenn is an insult to technologists and a frustration to paying customers. Some sales rep sold AS a bill of goods.
Tim is fun.

I have it on good authority that there was a lengthy meeting held a few weeks ago, to discuss a change in mascots, however, management could not reach a consensus. Some wanted a weasel, to represent the sneaky changes to MP. Another faction wanted a pig, to reflect fare hikes. A jackass was rejected, for fear it would upset senior managers. Finally, a committee was formed to look at other alternatives. Last word on that was, it was considering outsourcing Tim, and bringing him back at half pay, via Menzies.

Tim spotted in Alaska
As this photo from our semi-local newspaper* shows, Tim may, in fact, be back in Alaska:

Like "Alf" he appears to like to dine on cats!
* It's a newspaper in the technical sense- it is printed on newspaper. Ocassionally, and by error, it contains actual news...

Write your appreciation and concern about his permanent hibernation to AS Customer Care. From what I understand, he'll be disappearing from OLCI within a couple of weeks. It's not too late to stop it!!!
