They were scrambling to cover the SDF flight, but did they use their Hot FO (me by the way)... Nope, still sitting here watching the Lakers game.

We are fat, even the IPA thinks so. UPS just doesn't have the bodies in the right seats yet.

As a matter of fact, aren't there approx 250+ DC8 crewmembers sitting in lounge chairs by the pool this month and next ?

Even when they all get trained, JA calls will come. They will NEVER have the complete reserve coverage 24/7 that this operation requires.

IMHO of course ...
