At the ATL road show last month JG said something about ATILLA being temporarily suspended as part of another IT initiative. I think he was referring to new flight planning software, but honestly I wasn't paying that close attention at the time. It definitely sounded like it was only going away temporarily. Hopefully I'm wrong. It has happened before.

Had a ELP leg the other day and felt like I needed a extra FO for crew rest. I've gotten so use to the short legs in and out of Atlanta, I'm not sure how I handled the whale and 330.

What to expect when you're expecting- a wide body RFP. Looks like 10-15 to be announced between the 777 and the 330-200. We went to both BA and Airbus asking them to take some CRJ's off our hands and neither was interested, imagine that. Don't know anything about 74's, but it doesn't appear to be of interest. The aircraft are to be delivered in the 2015 time frame, to fly out of SEA and overfly NRT.

That's the truth. I made it out to PHX and LAS a few weeks ago. "WHERE ARE THE TREES? WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE TREES???"


I finally googled what the heck Jeremiah Weed is. I assumed some sort of top shelf pinky-up cognac since all the fighter guys drink it and the rest of us can't keep up.

Don't bring pharmaceuticals into the country, as Customs is checking crew members thanks to some F/A's. You will be charged with drug trafficking. Also, we may get kicked out of the Shelbourne in DUB thanks once again to F/A's who are taking sheets, robes, and towels.

Oh, BTW, don't FTB on the AE as it closes on Monday. The 2 year freeze starts on the date you are awarded the AE. Displacements don't count toward a freeze.

It wasn't logic, it was me. I wrote SD and told him that ATTILA was actually invented by NWA.
