Hell, I'd say celebrate and have your own version of "Summer of Love" except this time it'd be in 2010.
And why are so many of your jets still flying around the taxiways in ATL?
I don't think it's the operational meltdown they are worried about. Most think it's pretty funny....less bonus for mgmt. It will be the constant extensions and junior mannings they are worried about, and 10 day off lines becoming 7 off for reserves, and average days off decreasing across the board. it's not that we are worried that the meltdown will STFD.
As to flying down taxiways in June in ATL.....probably have a deferred APU
