Dear PCN (of over 2600 subscribers),
“One of the most powerful things the
media has is the ability to ignore a story,” Richard Grenell. This quote also
applies to Companies. The Delta Retired
Pilot disproportionate harm from the pension termination is a powerful story of
inequity. Yet so far, it has been ignored by the company. If the “story” is ever going to change (rather
than just go away) then it will be because good people did good work. See the Petition section for more.

Two
weeks – Two hotels: There were times while flying for the D that
we got stuck in a hotel for an extended stay.
This last week I have burnt one of the two weeks that is on my schedule
in a single hotel. I can tell you that
these 4 walls are beginning to look far too familiar and I am going a little
stir crazy. Tomorrow we make an Atlantic
crossing and my hotel hell begins anew.
Phew, what we do to stay in the
game.

Breaking
up the drudgery: Like in the old days, with a good layover, I invited
my wife along. So Barb came over to BWI
and we spent a few days in the area. We
connected to the DC Metro by a bus and enjoyed a great day in Washington. Since Obama was not there we were
happier. Just joking! What we did have a chance to do, was connect with a nephew who serves a NY
congressman as his chief of staff. Clint
got us into the capitol directly but even better, got us an invite to a private
luncheon. Now in our summer casual
clothes we were eating high end on fine linens in the member’s dining room of
the capitol. Very special and quite memorable
and reminded us again of how cushy the DC lifestyle can be. Highlight of the lunch? Our personal highlight was having a chance to
bow and pray in the back halls of the capitol for everyone and all that goes on
in our nation’s capitol. Somehow we get
the feeling that they do not get enough of that. Here
below is a pic of Barb and I just outside the Member’s Dining Room. More

Dish
Sling Box: Why would anyone want to watch their local TV
while on the road? Well, let me give you
a couple of reasons. How about that MLB
team you are following but cannot watch while traveling? How about local news or shows that you
follow? How about because the only thing
on your room tv is in Swahili? All of
these are great reason to investigate and learn about “streaming live tv.” With either DISH or Direct TV, there are
devices that will stream your home signal via an internet connection. While in Trinidad, I was able to watch the
Reds on my IPad at poolside. Pretty cool!
It is also possible to watch my favorite college football on my phone while
being transferred about. There are cable companies now, (Time-Warner,
etc) that also allow for digital tv while on the road. If you and the wife travel, check into
it. It may be a feature you don’t want
to live without.
