So then it was my turn to brief, and my brief went something like this... LAVS.

I was not liked that day."

They replaced WARTS and NATS?! Must have modified the airplane so it would fly safely with different acronyms.

Way to go RA on his "Wild Turkey" award. What is that anyway? Does he get a case of Wild Turkey? Who on here would win the Jeremiah Weed award?

Winning the Jeremiah weed award is seriously bad for your health. I've competed many times, but I'm pretty sure I've never "won."

I'm a little unclear on which contract provisions are in play so far. I have a pattern that starts tomorrow with a DH to ATL. Am I allowed to DV8 and book possitive space on ExpressJet?

Depends on if the flight is a DL coded flight. If it is, yes, you can DV8 on DCI now. There is a glitch in the DBMS/ICrew platform to perform this, so you need to call Crew Scheduling: Option 1, Option 5, with the flight(s) you want to DV8 on and they will manually book them for you.

Well, there was a note on ICrew about it yesterday. Just takes reading what is put in front of you.

BTW, my pleasure.
