Scheduling question for the really smart guys.
I just had a trip removed for a 100 in 672 violation (I know, Ferd flying that much?). I've looked over the 23K recovery obligations and I can't find this one. I see reroutes and relieved for OE but the closest I can find is 23 K.1.G 3 Exemption that says I have no recovery obligation for a 60 in 168 violation if they remove me prior to the trip.
Looks like I have no recovery obligation? I have a hard time believing that.....

This is getting ridiculous.
My Mother just sent me the audio of the Delta pilot talking to Atlanta ground. It disturbed her. She doesn't think somebody with obvious anger management issues should be flying passengers. She wants to know if its real.
That thing is everywhere on the Internet.

Mon Jacksonville news:
Fifth story on local radio news at noon was tape of "Captain Happy" and how Delta is now investigating the "irate" behavior of one of it's captains.
Third story on Yahoo news is tape of Captain Happy losing it after being "corrected" about going to the wrong "runway".
Of course the press has many of the facts wrong, but it's more sensational the way they tell it. Unfortunately it has Delta's name all over it. This one time it isn't a contractor giving Delta a black eye.

Our very own "Capt. Happy" is in the AJC today (although since they were taxiing it might have been the co-pilot):
WSB-TV – Atlanta
ATLANTA — Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines is looking into a tense exchange between a pilot and an air-traffic controller. According to WSB-TV – Atlanta, the exchange happened Friday when a controller told a pilot his plane was approaching the wrong taxiway.
“Hey, you know what? We’ll taxi out there any way we want unless you tell us to. I don’t like your attitude,” the pilot said.
“I don’t have an attitude; I’m just saying it looks like you joined Lima [a taxiway] instead of Mike [another taxiway], and I’m just trying to correct you before you stay on Lima,” the air-traffic controller responded.
"Like, oh my God, there's another plane out there, like six miles away. Your attitude is really something, sir. We're out here on Mike. Good morning,” the pilot said.
“Good morning. There was no attitude. I was just trying to correct you. That's my job to correct you if you mess up, and make sure everybody's doing what I ask them to do for certain reasons,” the air-traffic controller responded.
“All right, I make a mistake every two to three minutes, but my attitude is not like yours. We're out on Mike, and you didn't tell us how to get there, so next time you can try doing that,” the pilot said.
Another pilot on the same frequency can be heard telling the pilot, "Settle down, Capt. Happy."
Delta says customer safety was never in question.
