I agree, the HRA's will sneak up on you. With the PWA consolidating and reducing the cost of the contractual plan, I am seriously considering switching to it come January.

 

Not like we have much of a choice with the PPO going away.

 

Yep-bud at SWA had a kid last year to include some complications and paid less than $500.

 

I hear Herb personally delivers every baby and nurses them on Wild Turkey.

 

That's because SWA is broke because they compete and lose so badly to almighty Alaska on the west coast, where there is no money. Plus they don't generate enough revenue because 98% of their fleet are 130 seaters and they have no one else to "feed" their planes. Plus they can't get a good deal on health care because their CEO has no ties to a massive insurance company.




Wait, what?

 

Post of the morning

 

Works for the Wide Reports as well.

Woohoo, 6 trips in Aug with red eyes to start!! Good times.

 

I watched a couple of episodes of that. Liked it, but couldn't get into it since I was jumping in somewhere in season 2 or 3 (I think). I'll have to start from the beginning with it. FX's "Justified" is a good one as well...not in the same class as Breaking Bad, but still a pretty good show. The one on my must see list some day is "The Wire." I've heard it's a really good series to Netflix as well.

 

I don't know if I'd put it under tool of the day, but if it isn't, it's close.

I know the lounge chair area in the ATL crew room isn't a designated quiet zone, but it's obvious guys are trying to rack out for a while between flights. So with lots of other areas to hold a phone conversation down here I wonder what a guy's SA is when he holds a 15 min conversation at a loud talking level while he negotiates what he's willing to pay for hangar he's interested in buying. Come on, dude, look around...people are trying to sleep...the TV isn't even on and the only sound within 60' is you yammering on your phone. To emphasize the point, another guy next to him got a phone call and quickly answered it to silence the ringer, and then took the call as he stepped away from the area to hold his conversation.

............

This conversation will not end. Just sitting here watching the guy who took his call away from the area come back to his spot....he's reading his kindle while the other guy keeps yammering obnoxiously away...kindle guy keeps looking over to phone guy who appears to be developing a new friendship with a UPS pilot who's selling the hangar...."Do you know Joe? Blah, blah, blah..."

............
Finally, it ended after about 30 mins. Now let's see if he's surfing APC on that iPad...waiting for him to look over his left shoulder and catch me.

 

LAX Backdoor B's are out....HOW did I flunk bidding??? 10 days off w/ 77 hours? ***???
