I hit 107 hours this month holding a line plus vacation... I was tired, so I didn't take the GS on sunday.. but that 107 could have been 128.


I can work with a 107h month. Thanks for the info.

That requires dropping inefficient trips and trading for more efficient- and where possible picking up (WS/GS).

Good luck!

My last run at it was in 2010. Had 2 108 hour months in a row! Then I got stuck on perennial reserve....

How do you pick up windshear over groundspeed? ;)

Before anyone says this guy is the sole reason we're not hiring, realize that if you bid a mix of reserve-to-skate and lines-to-maximize-pay, if your annual block hours flown is relatively low, you aren't hurting anything.

Dublin donuts is closed in terminal A in ATL... no more Starbucks or Dunkin in A or B now.

Carry on.

Title - Delta Air Lines boosts CEO pay 42 percent:mad::eek:



Maybe you forgot, that we did get a raise too! "4, 8, 3, 3, ", so what are you complaining about?

.....ohhhhh, it was "2, 6, 1, 1", if you include the 2% increased S.S. tax:eek:

Dunkin' Donuts is reopening in concourse B. Who knows how long it will be though. At the speed ATL moves, it could be 5 years.

[QUOTE=Timbo;1400505]Not to go too far off topic, but what's a good weather app for an Android? I had the Weather Channel's app and it was great, until last night! They "Updated" it, and now it's useless! I used to have 10 cities I could scroll through in about 10 seconds, now they limit it to only 3, and of course they've added lots of ads, and fancy maps and other useless crap.

But if you want to see what the weather is doing in more than 3 spots for your upcoming trips, you'll be on that new p. o. s. for 10 minutes now!

Timbo, check out Aeroweather. Not sure if I paid for the app or not. You can check current and forecast wx for multiple airports. Fast and accurate.

Yeah, I love how the APs upgrades say minor bug fixes and then your stuck with ads that cover part of the screen.
