LAX as you get AA bennies if you base there.

Y’all are arguing about RAH and DeltaS taking CPZ under their wing, meanwhile I just found out some big news via caterimg. We have been purchased by Atlas, and our now an Atlas Carrier. Heard it here first. Announcement via company call to come.

This. Also we do some LAX-SLC flights on the AA side which you can reserve the jumpseat for.

They’ve told me they had a lot of sick calls and are short staffed.

Short staffed I understand. But when you do have a full crew and the move slow as freaking molasses...

Side affect of being paid $11/hr I suppose

Also. Just noticed. All FO floors lowered to 80!

"Hey guys, I see a plane coming towards our gate."
"You sure it's for our gate?"
"Don't know man, maybe he's lost"
"Why are they pointing at us and putting their hands up? Do they not know where they're going? Pilots man..."
"Maybe it is for our gate..."
"Yeah, might be right. I guess I'll grab my wands"
...as they're walking out
"Guys, come take a look. That oil spot on the ground looks like a butterfly"
"Nah, I'd say it's more like a moth."
"Hey Robby, come over here and tell us what this looks like"

Or something like that...

Word from the training department about 3 weeks ago:

“We’re feeling fat on FOs so sim time is going to captain upgrades. FOs in initial seeing lengthy sim delays”



Weird. In Seattle, which is supposed to be growing, the bidding FO staffing shrank 10% in September vs August. Only 56 crewmembers and 1 reserve. Like 35 lost in training somewhere not yet able to bid
