The snow never quite makes it to the airport.

But this is a bad omen for March, when we always get a nasty ice storm after a season like this.

ACL65 - sure is a lot of talk about 737 flying, but no pilots on the airplane to do rumored flying. So why they kicking such a large pilot of pilots off the thing (by not filling ER slots BTW) ? As is always the case, they are out of reserves in ATL this weekend again. Figured since you were close to the action, you might have a read on this situation.

Well, either that or now to keep one step ahead of Southwest's sudden BFOTO to use VNAV (gasp) we are now using pilot-less drone 737's on all but the really crappy trips to South America. That's the only thing that makes sense based on what appears to be senseless displacements from Crew Resources.
