For upgrade ground school, my domicile was PHX and therefore I was not going to get paid lodging, even though I am a commuter. I called the training department and asked if they would put me up in Mesaville. They quickly approved my request.

I don't know what crack you've been smoking but pass the pipe my way, I need some escape. I have fought this battle, I don't know how many times and LOST every one. If it isn't the drugs, you must have some sweet connections in SOC- DS or BL?

No connections. No artificial high, I am just high on life, my friend. I have had to remind crew tracking once, and the other 3-4 times the hotel showed up on my schedule without human intervention.

...remember what the MEC just said: "Our company is in survival mode... This is occurring at a time when MAG’s unrestricted cash position continues to deteriorate."

Do you doubt this to be true?

Wow. It keeps getting better and better... if you worked a bid in JFK before Dec '08, you would have flown 80, credited 65 and gotten paid 70. This problem was systemic in ORD as well to my understanding.
