Sit 5 ready rsv in a row with 10-15/mo? Max duty day? No pay guarantee? I'd hate to see how life would be without them. You dont know what you have until it's gone. Things could be better, yes.. but they are working on it. Call your reps with questions, that's what they are here for.
ALPA gone? Yes! Get rid of the Union and hire some professional negotiators to negotiate our contract. I'd gladly pay $20/month for that.
Bit off topic, anyone know why there was a CRJ9 surrounded by firetrucks between 36C and 36L yesterday afternoon around 3 p.m.? And why is 36R/18L closed? When will it open again, 'cause it is a pain in the arse with out it...
