Yeah, but both his ex-wives were no longer a factor after that payout. He was working for his new toys again!

X ohhh, about 100. X100...there, fixed it.

14,000 pilots bid their schedules each month and the monster machine combobulates the permutations, PCS runs 4x/day and 1000s of schedules are changed, 2 hours of rain blow through Atlanta and the wheels come off...?....for days?

I'll bet a fix would cost less than Eddie's condo in FL ($7.3m if you're too lazy to google). Didn't some kid hack the first iPhone in a basement for nothing with a case of Red Bull? Let's get him to start and offer him 2(!) cases of Red Bull.

Then again, I'm not holding my breath...like I said, heard it all before...guess we'll all get a chance to see what the next IROP looks like when it happens.

But I got my surface....which likes to freeze when it hears a 10 leg taxi instruction...in ORD...at night....in the rain....and my update took care of it: now it freezes even faster!

Had Rahul on a jumpseat before the first meltdown. He was new to the company and taking it all in. Seemed like a very nice guy, asked lots of questions. But he had zero understanding of airline ops. His background was in the banking industry and even he said he was surprised that Richard and Ed wanted him.

If only Deltanet worked like my bank website. Or my mortgage, or Fidelity, or Facebook, or my credit card...
