Lots of IAs still going out. I thought we were done with those?

We definitely need to put more flights through ATL. The stories are not pretty...

Popup hailstorm after an earlier ramp closure. Loooong conga line got blasted by hail, all of which needed inspection. Traffic jam just to get back to a gate, if one was assigned. Crews timing out, no reroute/IA crews available at 2200L led to mass cancellations with no remaining flights for all those folks to flex to.

Just a Friday in ATL...

Funny I've had the same ring tone for CS for years now.

Money by Pink Floyd I thought was appropriate for ARCOS.

Quite a show going on at ATL it seems.

Is there a situation where they will pay 4x if they use QS? Yes. But not always.

"thought they could only us IA step....emergency"....the word "emergency" is not mentioned even one in either the MOU or the SA, so not sure where you are getting that from.

Emergency step of coverage is the last step of both 23.N and 23.O.....any available pilot in position (in inverse seniority order)
