I know we all complain about ATL and I have flown my whole career out of here but it really is much better than most places I have been!!!

On a different note..the FNWA FAs are ****ed!!!!! But all were very nice!!

War Eagle!!!

A few weeks ago we landed in ATL 20 minutes PRIOR to arrival time. We blocked in 16 minutes AFTER arrival time. Both gates they assigned us were occupied, even though upon assignment of the 2nd gate we were informed it was open. All of this after 2100 with no WX that day. It happens everywhere. I tend to have better experiences in DTW then anywhere else, but everywhere is hit & miss for me.
