I'm 2/3rds of the way down the seniority list in my category but live 30 minutes from the airport parking lot. A lot of guys senior to me commute in so they want a regular line even if it is over Christmas so I usually am the 2nd most senior guy on reserve for the month and get the days off I want. Short Call doesn't really bother me, I'm just surprised that I have gotten them all out of the way in the first 8 days of the month!!! I still have a few days on call now and one more group of 7 later on but no short call then!

I think you have broken the code Denny. WTG

wow I wish I hadn't clicked on that dancing pilot link... so embarrassing! I thought I'd see a video showing all us transport workers busting our humps during the wee hours of the morning, prepping the big D machine for full-throttle at 0700. Pilots flying red-eyes across the continent, cleaners cleaning the terminals, maintainers busy fixing the planes and deep-cleaning them, ACS washing jets and polishing windshields... all done with some holiday cheer and a smile.

But having everyone out dancing around with marshaling wands in a clear waste of time? Gah! That doesn't make Delta or any of our employees look good or Holiday spirit-ish, it's just a bogus dance video. Particularly when you consider that anyone who has flow Delta more than twice has certainly sat at the gate, staring out the window while listening to the Capt say "Folks, please remain in your seats with seat belts fastened, we're not quite at the gate yet... we're waiting for some marshallers to arrive so we can pull that last 100 feet into the gate." Meanwhile, out the window, three lazy sacks are trodding sluggishly across the pavement without an ounce of urgency amongst them...

Sorry, but that video punched every bad button I have as a Delta Customer, and a few of them as an employee lol.

I'm showing that video to my kids, so they think that's what I do at work.

You might have some more trampoline time if you do that.

I laughed out loud then I realized, it's still broken.

there are some serious withdrawls going on for my beloved hardworking $350 Toshiba L775-S3707 with that MS Office suite I purchased from Deltanet.

The screen is sitting at the Doraville UPS but I can't have it til Monday. I'm curious about Fedex and UPS, do they really not work on the weekends?

Unfortunately, if the computer had been bounced upon on Thursday morning then I'd had the screen the next day. But since it happened on Friday morning, I get it almost 4 calendar days later... for the same price as next day.

Those tricky no money in freight shipping companies.

Sorry for the PBS question but I've spent the last 30 minutes trying to find the answer to this in the PBS guide but can't seem to find it. How do you bid for a specific trip on a specific day? I obviously know how to bid for the specific pattern, but if the pattern fly's on several dates, how do I say I want pattern # 55xx on January XX?

Look upwards, on the full menue of PBS check boxes, there is "Depart on Date" and "Depart on Date Range".

When you enter the pairing number, you also clik the "Depart on Date", so when it is entered, it should say, "Award Pairing Number 1234 if Depart on Jan. xx"

How did you know that? I thought everyone on here was on reserve? :D
