Thanks all for the non-rev info. Good info on dlnet, just wish they went a little further in these areas.

If you can't beat um...........try to "semi" control them.

Remember, just the hot rumor. Wait and see!

I think you are correct. The agent kept trying to pull my record over from non rev list with no luck. She called the supervisor several times and no one could help figure it out. The lead FA put up a pretty good fight for me and strongly stated that we have a seat and he has an ID and can sit in the seat. But at D+1 the gate agent threw out the late word and how it would be blamed on the crew. But hey I got to celebrate cheerleading championships with several hundred screaming 8-12 year olds at the hilton.

Man it was crappy at the airport. 34F and pouring, windy, shears, wdr computer ots, just crappy.

I think the winds were variable from 310 gusting to 24 to 090 gusting to 24. Which is just great for runways the face east/west.

Yeah. WDR computer was probably like screw this and bailed.

There are rumors we have purchased a few more 717s. I guess from two different airlines.

And there are rumors that everyone in Atlanta will now be going through security, no more bypassing via the busses or the cheese grater. Heard that from the different people.

My dog gets Prozac. It's a happy pill. Makes him suck less. And no I can't shoot him, he has an undeserved fan following in our house. Kind of like a rock star that hates his fans and his fans love him more for it.

Of course his back is broken. That cost 389 to figure out. Explains some of that. So I've debated taking his pills.
