I hope you all turn the ramp lights to purple/ blue in the morning so I can tell dispatch that we are not going since purple isn't going

Bet you'll enjoy it more with a beer.

By the way - I know you're not defending the company. One cannot defend behavior that is indefensible.

That is funny.....but do not tell AUS_ATC (he would never believe it)!

Of course, because everything goes better with beer!

Great day to fly.....NOT!

I believe you may still have a choice here. If you end up being put in Sub, you can decline the Sub trip--right?

I was discussing trip revisions, not substitution, something very different.

Check your email from FDX today....many revisions! The freight is going to need to move on Sat and Sun. CRS are working on revisions for many....

The contract permits 48 Hours domestically and 96 Internationally - if you do not pass thru your base.

Just remember in the company's eyes Wx cancellations trump cancellations due to staffing. Even though staffing may be the cause.

Numerous drafts noted for outbound open trips Fri a.m. as well as drafting crews for field hotel standby. Those crews were put on jumpseats for positionng to the field locations.
