Didn't know that. Maybe 80 should have called in too fatigued to be shoved between two fat paying pax!

Oh yeah, now I remember. There is a nearly naked woman at the top there with some weird dogs, and a big fat marshmallow man coming down the road.

NYC was ugly yesterday. We've got crews scattered in hotels you've never heard of. Golden Touch was an hour late picking us up after we were an hour late....and my first room at the downtown hotel had two old Italians in it. I got another one.

Me: "Illegal?" (as I'm yawning inadvertently)
Scheduling: "Yes, so we're just gonna switch that to 10 AM, alright?"
Me: "OK"
Scheduling: "I'll show you acknowledged!"

Should have bid the ER in NY. If you're commuting you should commute to a better lifestyle. I sat as the plug on the 88 in ATL for a bit. It sucks!! Way more gentlemanly sitting reserve of the ER. A lot less legs!!

I have a pretty good opportunity to be a FNG when Delta hires.
I am aware that New hire Pilots have housing paid for during the first 2 weeks of indoc and then you are on your own.

Can anyone give me details of what they have done?
Hotel, Crashpad, RV,
How long is the training footprint?

Trying to plan ahead of time and start saving $ towards this time so thats one lest thing to worry about.

Thanks
