Well, it was bound to happen eventually. A Skywest pilot used KCM in SLC and flew to Calgary with a .38 in his bag. Canadian security discovered it on the way out. So it's an International incident too. Not good for the KCM program... I nominate this guy for TOTD.

The second frequency to GRU would have been very good for ER guys because they would have flown both with the 300ER vice the 400 on the one route.

Sao Paulo... not Sal. ....and I know all of that. I would be willing to bet that those routes could be purchased if we really wanted from somebody that isn't using them. As a matter of fact, if memory serves correctly, part of the slot swap deal with USAir was a route authority to Sao Paulo. The thing is though is that it is never spun as you describe. It is always spun as ATL being on the direct routing from NY to GRU. This is not untrue, but as a NY guy it is frustrating. Actually, what would probably be a better route authority would be MCO. TAM has a monopoly on that going south, and lots of Brazilian kids want to go see Mickey Mouse.

If the SKY pilot isn't an FDO, then he deserves to spend some time in jail. If he is an FDO, then he should be one any longer.

New crew resources update just posted:
Tidbit:
"As Delta’s West Coast presence continues to grow, there were rumors the 717 would be flying DTW-AUS-LAX. While we do not have an LAX 717 base, the DTW 717 pilot base would be able to support this flying. After several weeks of back and forth, it has been determined that the 717 will NOT fly this route at this time. The Network Planning group continues to look and analyze all opportunities for the 717 and we will provide updates as they are known."
Then why does it still show a 717 flying it in Travelnet and GDS?
