I'm pretty sure there are plenty of forums that cover sports, politics, religion, etc.

How 'bout some temporary bans to get this forum back on track? (Or at least a "hanger talk" type thread, where one can discuss anything.)

Flame away.

No flame needed - you have a valid complaint. Here is the problem - this is an anonymous open forum. I have tried deleting posts that push the TOS but, and pardon the cheesy Western Movie paraphrase,

"We moderators are few, posters are many!"

So with that in mind I will delete egregious and blatant violations of the TOS but prefer not to stifle some of the more minor transgressions.

Finally when something worthwhile/significant happens at DAL the thread tends to focus pretty much automatically - in quiet times it wanders.

Topics Not for Discussion

There are currently NO forums that provide a venue for discussing politics...

From the most recent posts, I'm guessing this doesn't apply to the L & G thread.

I thought it was B, but it seems like answer A is in the FOM somewhere. It just has to be.
Tell her the APU is deferred, then you will have a better idea of her 'real' personality!

Read Scenario #1 and the 2 questions:

If you haven't been assigned something before starting the 30 hours then you just go on long call at the end. There is no "Last non-fly day" 9 hours prior self notification type situation when it is FAA required rest.
Thanks CE.

How many posts have you reported? If you report a post and are not happy with the adjudication of the post I would recommend a pm to any of the moderators.
