The fact of having to self-learn the A320 while still trying to consolidate on the 73N pretty well spells out "egregious" in my book.......I know, shut up and color........

Happy New Year,

Emirates: Most junior captain hired: Nov 2008 (777)

Don't know why I just posted that - just shocked, I guess.

Don't they hire captains right off the "street?"

So what's left? DXB and JNB and SYD. They can easily cover that from DTW, with deadheadding, just like they do now. This same F/A told me they were told, "ATL international flying will only be Africa and South America. NYC will do all the Europe and DTW will do all the Asia flying..."

Just remember..."Commuting is a Choice!"
Yeah, I keep hearing that as well. Basically no 777 flying in ATL. Those boys that work for the airport and the city of ATL really irked the wrong CEO.

It wasn't me; maybe Bob Sakamano or one of the other guys.

A bunch of them report having been called by scheduling after furlough or resignation...

I thought you fell off a cliff. No posts in several days. Did you actually dive into that company or were you just having family time?

And to clarify for those who haven't been hearing it, ATL will still have int'l, just no 777s, but more 330s. Less than 5 years is when the full extraction will occur. Will Cal commute? It probably wont affect him.

Boomer;

Do you escape the street? I'm hearing all 2012 Comair drawdows will actually happen this month.

Ahh, the power if advertizing.

When the Stanford kicker missed the FG, all I could think of was the Buffalo Wild Wings commercial.

Cal won't commute. He'll bid the 747 when it goes to ATL.
