Its always bad on any seat in ATL that time of year. Last weekend of summer before school starts on the 13th.

You actually paid attention. Very good. Although I dont use the word downgrade. Not a term I use.

We still need to get you a copy of the PWA. Since you have a smartphone you know you can download one. I mean since the TA was dropped well over a month and a half ago...



or what category? Bill, aren't you MSP 73N B or maybe it was ATL M88 B? I thought that's what your avatar said before you went to 717A?
Funny stuff. I am senior on the ATL M88B, hoping to go to the 717A someday when I can hold it as a line holder. I used to fly the 767 Dom in ATL, but all I was doing was allnighters. No thanks. MSP 73N?? Really? Thanks for all the contract help though. Just remember, short duration, fewer RJs, ratio, 20% raise 3 years, good deal. Have a great night.

Bill,

Its not what I wanted, but its a workable contract and we can go from here. It will require some changes in a few things that will cost capital but that's OK.

I'm ready to get use every opportunity we have.

Where you bidding?
No, not in ATL. If we keep 88s and add 717s as growth, maybe during the last bunch of 717s in 2015 I'll be able to hold a line on that. I'll throw in a bid and see how it goes. The rates by then will be really nice.
