Both of them are, of course, LCA. There's no-one as non-standard and risk-accepting as an LCA, in my experience.

More pics and the taxiway diagram...looks like they missed their turn. Damn near knocked the second story of the building off.
Accident: British Airways B744 at Johannesburg on Dec 22nd 2013, took wrong taxiway and buried wing in building

There's a couple guys in SLC that taxi SE and shut the APU down as soon as you get #2 started, then ask you to do a cross-bleed start. Of course they are ALSO the ones that say, "No, let's wait until there are only 3 ahead of us to start... and wait until that 3rd one is actually rolling." Leaving you rushed and behind.

I think these excursions are just proving we should have gotten the 321 and none of the extendo-flufs.
Crossbleed on those is even easier than it is on the 757.

Wow. 19 trips in open time starting tomorrow on ATL88B. 0 Reserves. I really think there's a good chance flights are going to get cancelled due to no crews on the 88. They are splitting trips and doing everything in their power to try and get guys to bite over Christmas. I think not hiring earlier finally bit them. This is at 3 pm the day prior. I can't possibly see how everything gets covered.

I don't mean to be a tool about it, but the reason these guys do this is because there's no push back.

I always do that. "How about we crank up the left side now, you gotta hill (wink, wink) coming up."

My question is why is the taxiway slide off even news? Didn't Jennifer Lawrence get a new haircut?

Still two pages of uncovered trips for tomorrow with no reserves and no takers apparently. I don't see any way they get through tomorrow without lots of cancellations for no crew.
