ATL and critical mass...remember about 12 years ago when we pushed 1000 flights a day through there? With only 4 rwys, underutilized E concourse, no F? ATL will always get a bad rap because of Mahogany Row but it really does do pretty good job moving the amount of traffic as well as it does.

Wonder how T & Timbo's houses are today? Final round of the Arnold Palmer Open was suspended today due to severe thunderstorms. Peak gust of 86 mph recorded @ KMCO! :eek:

Mine is still here unfortunately. I will NEVER get that new house built. :D

Thanks for your concern though... really, I appreciate that.

noun
1. a person who voluntarily offers himself or herself for a service or undertaking.
2. a person who performs a service willingly and without pay.
3. a person who enters the service voluntarily rather than through conscription or draft, especially for special or temporary service rather than as a member of the regular or permanent army.

4. A person that refers to Jack and Coke as "football juice", and wears a particularly beautiful shade of orange on fall weekends. :cool:

Additionally: A Vol-in-tears is that same person AFTER the game he/she is watching, which makes football juice more valuable

Denny, saw that when the list came out:mad: What a waste. You'll be back, you know you will. Fifi is too quiet and too comfortable. Did you ever get to try the bunk? Wait, never mind.

Besides, we have to go back to Caveman (inside story boyz:D)

March 2014 Forecast of Pilot Requirements=94XX

On Deltanet, check it out. I know this is just for requirements and not headcount but RA and team are truly getting closer to that 9000 number:)

....and as of March 19th United started hiring from off the street, if anyone's interested!

I heard next AE bid will be in June to finish staffing ATL 717 and open DTW 717. And there will eventually be a SEA 717 category. Unimpeachable source!

A Seattle 717 cat WOULD BE AWESOME! I wonder what Moby's thoughts are on that one, if it comes to fruition.

My point was that DAL is going to put assets where they make money, and I applaud them for that. I have had to accept that fact while sitting on MadDog and baby bus jumpseats from MCO to work (and other non-rev destinations) when we used to have widebodies. People in MEM have been trashing NWA (and now DAL) for years because we supposedly gouge them. That is probably true to an extent, and it is the unfortunate other edge of the sword when it comes to having a network carrier located in your hometown. You pay more.. but have more options. The city elders have for years.. in MEM.. been courting SWA and other "low cost carriers" all the while spitting in the face of NWA/DAL at every opportunity. So when we threaten to leave, they wonder why, and only then do they go to ATL to ask what they can do to get us to stay. MSP is probably no different.

Ditto CVG.
