Careful MM, you consistently place question marks at the end of declarative sentences. I never know if you're asking a question or making a statement...well, I do, but it sure is a whole bunch of ?????????????:D

Corey uses too many big words. Perhaps for job security?

When we first went to flag on the 777 I flew an HKG-MEM, rereleased, with no alternate. This is in summertime. I pointed out to the captain that we were relying on weather that would be 18 hours old when we got there. We quit doing that after an Asia 777 flight diverted to Dallas.

I sure hope the story that started this thread is true. But I'm pretty pessimistic that even Fred won't stop our trajectory. The sad but undeniable truth is - Valujet made scads of money. Right up until the crash. Nobody's ever SEEN the margins they were earning, and the stock went through the roof. Again.... Right up until the crash.....

How did you release with no alternate for even the first leg of the redispatch? That leg had to be over 6 hours, so you would have been required to have an alternate. If the second leg was over 6 hours that one too would have needed an alternate. Or are you saying you did not have an alternate for MEM, but maybe had one for the first part of the flight? The chart in chapter 3 of the FOM is fairly easy to follow and it always leaves the decision to the dispatcher/Captain if one of them feels that an alternate might be appropriate. And yes I have asked for an Alternate and been given one on a redispatch flight. :roll eyes:

While we're at it, and just for $hit$ and grins, irregardless, or regardless of how you feel, "it's" is not what you want to use. Instead, use "its", which is corrector.:)

Rumor is Fred showed up at GOCC the other night shortly after our mass divert fest. Don't have many details...other than he wasn't happy. Anyone else have more info?
