It appears to me this process could take 50 to 70 min just to get from the plane to sitting on the van. If this is the case it is unacceptable and not in compliance with the spirit of PWA section 5.E.5 addressing the 20 min wait before obtaining transportation.

Why are we giving up terminal to hotel transportation? This is just the continuing trend of QOL issues being given away. Or am I making to big of a deal out of this?

Is MARTA to hotel in ATL next?

I don't think you are being unreasonable. Taking the Airtrain is a big deal. It's way closer to taking MARTA through Atlanta then it is to taking the Train from terminal to terminal at Hartsfield.

I was trying to find funny indian hunting tiger pictures, but they all were dead tigers in front of indians. Killing an endagered species isn't all that funny... more tragic.

I'm hoping for a tragedy to occur on Jan 6, though. :) Here's to your friend being out 20 bucks and that captain out 500!

Florida St. came out of the blue a little, too. Didn't they?

What were their odds to take the national championship at the beginning of the season?

You do have to back last years profit sharing out of the gross. That figure times 7.5 should be pretty close this year.

You would not use gross pay for the calculation. You would use the sum total of your FLT ADV and FLT PAY for the year and then multiply by the applicable percentage. Expense reimbursements, profit sharing, shared rewards, etc are not included as part of your annual compensation for purposes of profit sharing. This has not changed since the profit sharing program came into existence. The specifics can be found in Section 3 A.1.

They were predicted to be good, but I don't think anyone realized how well rounded they were. I mean... it's Winston's first year starting and he's a redshirt freshman. Usually new quarterbacks have a much harder time adjusting to their role. I think it's going to be a good game.

None of our games required a miracle play to come out with a win, either. :D

There hasn't been any union response to that, has there?

The company sure is engaging with a bit less constructiveness these days it seems.
