Happy Holidays, Lurker. I have to agree: some of the more senior guys on APC just aren't as sharp.

NYT Dialect Quiz with a map, IN COLOR!!! You'll forward it.
Well, I'm definitely
ATL based. I am firmly BHM in dialect but really anywhere from Texas to Virginia but not Florida.
PVD, we have nothing in common.

Hey Sink... you won't get any argument from me on that. Timbo and T are the only senior guys that consistently make sense without an agenda to me. And at least Timbo doesn't have an irrational hate on New England teams.

I am not sure if it is true or not, but I have read posts that elude to the fact that you are involved with ALPA. If that is the case, how in the world can you post something that says or eludes to flight cancellations being due to pilot sick calls? Really? Who do you represent? This is abhorred, unacceptable... I can't think of any other forum appropriate adjectives that describe my ire.
CAAC,
Sailing said that he heard from a scheduler that Pilots called in sick after an assignment. I say big deal - If you are sick you are sick. I did not see Sailing place any blame.
Pilots call in sick when they are sick. The company cancels flights when they are short Pilots. Unless this was some sort of concerted activity (which I don't believe that it was) too bad for the company for poor planning.
I can think of numerous ways for the company to pro-actively mitigate the usual shortage of crews over holidays, but they apparently think the G/S and IA policies are sufficient. Granted there would be a cost associated with these policies, but then again there is definitely a cost in canceled flights over the Holidays.
Its very unfortunate for our passengers, but I certainly didn't see any intended blame or malice in his statement.

Can't blame Danny....he hired too good a coach. Everybody else knew they were supposed to tank this season to get a piece of the best draft in years. They suck and are still leading the division....actually fun to watch cause they don't give a crap...they're supposed to get smoked every night. The Bruins though...that's the team to watch.
