Probably a charter for the Bama v Michigan game tomorrow.

Most likely bringing the University of Michigan football team down to play Alabama tomorrow night. We do their football charters.

Anyone commute out of ATL? Where are we supposed to park?

I used to. I always parked in the landside portion of the Camp Creek lot and rode the bus to the terminal to clear security. Ran that by the CPO during all the TSA catching commuters bypassing security crackdown and they said it was fine. Technically you can also park in the secure side of the lot, ride the bus to A, haul all your stuff out to the terminal, and clear security before commuting, but why bother?

I appreciate your effort, I really do. I think we all do. And I'm not taking anything away from dipstick girl. On any given Sunday, she would be a fine contribution.
But unfortunately, you have posted on Vandy Candy Sticker Boob Friday, which has clearly overshadowed your offering.
Try again next Thursday.

Meh... I'm still stewing over the fact that I actually spent a fair amount of time at that house in undergrad and never saw that much boob...

At least the paltry amount I did see there was sticker-free, but still.....

Jughead, you are completely correct. It is a
Vandy weekend.

Someone should have told that to the officiating crew that Steve Spurrier apparently brought with him to the game on Thursday....

I knew that, oops I just saw TCL and jumped at it - I remember some FAs talking about charters and they mentioned Michigan.

Saw Nick Saban and Co. step off a Delta 757 and onto the buses in DFW earlier today (1630ct).

Michigan parked 3 gates over about 30 mins later in a 767.

The E terminal there was as packed as I have ever seen it.

Story on DL net says we are flying 32 NCAA football teams around this year...not to mention all the NFL teams.


A leader in flying teams in three professional sports leagues, Delta's charter operations has added eight additional schools to its roster and now flies 32 college football programs, including 28 from the Bowl Championship Series and one from the Football Championship Subdivision.*

The additions strengthen Delta's position as the world's largest sports charter provider, carrying nearly 100 total teams spread among the National Collegiate Athletic Association, National Football League, National Basketball Association, National Hockey League and Major League Baseball.

The NCAA football regular season is worth about $15 million in revenue to Delta charters.*

As the regular season kicks off Thursday evening, Delta will carry eight of the BCS preseason top-15 ranked schools, including the University of Alabama, University of Georgia, Florida State University, University of Michigan, University of South Carolina, West Virginia University, University of Wisconsin and Clemson University.

The newest schools to join the charter program include the United States Air Force Academy, Syracuse University, Kansas University, Brigham Young University, University of Utah, University of South Florida, University of Mississippi and the United States Army.

"The trust teams and schools continue to place in our operations speaks to the professionalism and dedication of Delta people," said Bill Wernecke, director–Charter Operations. "We don't just fly these teams, we root for them."

Last season, Delta carried Alabama and North Dakota State University, two of its regular season customers, to national championships.
