Should have gone out and had a few too many. Been up since 6:00AM, worked out, went to lunch. Now I'm bored off my ass watching the clock tick until I can fly home. Not that I will get there. My commute flight leaves before my damn arrival.
I think he said the scheduling section of the new TA will be bigger than the entire current contract. I really hope they've addressed these inefficient lines. What's the point when you fly 2 hours one day and another day sit til 7 p.m. to do one leg home? Surely Mesa could schedule more efficiently, and I hope there's incentive for them to do so in the new TA.
