There is just so much right in that picture. Good work.

Holy crap, have gotten 3 robo calls to both cell and home phone now for Inverse Assignments. I was totally asleep, and it's woken me up twice now as well as wife. Might as well post now that I'm awake...

NONE of the 3 trips were remotely possible for me to make, and in fact this last call would be violating crew-rest I'm pretty sure...

I need to take my home phone off that CS list, it's nothing but a PITA.
Would of been OK flying trip but just no way to make it, commute.

So, only 5 Mar, not a heavy weekend or anything...

Thanks guys, glad to hear it. Last time I commuted home on a 320 the gate agent assigned me the emergency exit row window seat. I thought she totally hooked me up until I got to the seat. If I was a paying passenger I'd have been angry for paying extra. The seat pad was only half the thickness of the rest of the seats on the plane and there was no arm rest on the bulkhead side of the seat. Most uncomfortable coach seat I've ever had to sit in.

On the Crew Resources page one of the tabs on the left says conversions. There you will find lists for the upcoming month on who is converting.

JB guy and I both rode upfront on a United 320 from LA-SF, still plenty of room.

At night, I use the "do not disturb" function and put everyone I want to be able to get a hold of me on my favorite numbers so they can get thru any time. I even put CS in my favorites if I'm looking for a GS. Google Voice also has some good call-screening options.

IA robocalls come from the VRU number, not from the CS number...

I guess you missed the small incident in LGA and the little snow storm that blew up into the worst of the season for many Eastern airports. Virtually all of Delta's system had to be rerouted.

Sick, at least in DBMS.

They are also running the usual crew flights to try and recover the operation today. I think there was one at 11 from Atl to JFK.
