Wouldn't that finally give us some movement in SLC?

I went and they talked for 2 hours with a Q&A and pretty much said nothing that is not already known. They won't say where the new 330 time is going except possibly opening a 330 base in NYC and that probably won't happen until 2016. Won't say if there is going to be a narrowbody base in SEA etc.

Well at least you ate for free! Did you let them know I do not approve using other bases to fund growth? Or, were you in a hurry to get a beer at Steve's?

Hey ATL guys, the weather folks are using words like "catastrophic" to describe this ice storm. Don't be stupid. Stay safe.

At the Seattle meeting they said line pilot should start getting the Surface in May 2014, FAA validation should be on May 13th. EFB should replace Airside about Dec. 1st.

Then, under the FAQ tab, there is a hyperlink under item 3 to an onboard live web camera.

Looks like my takeoff roll this morning on the -900 (ironically, out of the ATL).
