Without fail, CA’s get very paranoid when we are going to CMH and if we are ferrying to CMH with nothing after it, forget about it. CA’s go into a full on depression. This is what new FO’s see. So, now I am paranoid every time CMH is on the brief.

I get it. This is apparently how EJA lures you into HQ to administer disciplinary action, but man, watching captains go through the stages of grief every time CMH shows up can be a real drag. It’s pins and needles until we are cleared for takeoff out of there. Some CA’s don’t even like being within 100NM of CMH. Somehow the boogeyman is gonna reach out and grab us. It’s no way to live.

Anyway… Rant complete. We now return to our originally scheduled program…
