Could you tell me when SJU + MIA became a "one station rule" situation ?
I'm curious, because SJU is in the NY local(501), and NOT the FLA. local.

I think he may have meant the Eagle rampers.
Any SJU AA FSC's can bump into any AA mainline station that has an opening. As for the SJU Eagle FSC's, they are employees of Executive Airlines, and MIA is the only other station that has Executive Airlines FSC's. So im not sure if the Eagle folks can bump into other Eagle ramp at DFW, ORD, LAX,etc...

Hey MCI,
Don't get him started again. He has been real quite lately to everyones enjoyment on this board.
PORTO RICO is actually the original name for the island. It was Anglicized in the early 1900's by the US. The majority of older educated Latinos will still refer to the island as Porto Rico, and it's inhabitants as "Porto Riquenos".
You asked. <_<

Most likely scenario will be that those 110 will be laid off to the street or will bump on there own dime to Miami and the others will bump down to part time. Most of the AA rampers there up to 1990 seniority are only part time protected. And why I say Miami is because it's by far the junior station in the system so DFW may not be an option for them at all. A few of those rampers have full time protection but those are the ones who were somewhere else full time at the signing of a contract, smart people. I've even been hearing that AA has asked some of these people if they'd like to transfer somewhere before the layoff? Knowing AA they're probably only asking the protected people so they don't have to pay them? :down:

The way I understand it the original name for the island was Borinquen, Carib Indian word. The Spanish called the island San Juan and the city Puerto Rico, which makes sense, since the entire island isn't a port.
How is changing Porto to Puerto anglicization? English doesn't even have such a dipthong.

If I remember my spanish well enough, porto is for "port. Puerto is "door or entrance.

There is no such word as porto in modern Spanish. The diphthong ue developed only when that syllable is accented. Other words from the same root, such as portal and portada maintain the o when that syllable is not accented.
As for the meaning, puerto means port, puerta means door or gate.
