And on the 88, who's got time to check the "correctness" of the AWABS? Just load the thing and let's GO!!!!
I drive to hockey these days in 80 degree weather with the roof off my jeep. How times have changed.

Everything is over blocked for us too. My last JFK trip, we left 3 tight connects at the gate, but arrived in DTW almost an hour early; Ridiculous.

Although in the old days, we may have closed the door, blocked out, then opened it back up.

I have to disagree with you. Delta is at or near the top in pretty much every category these days. You don't get performance like that if you don't measure everything, figure out where the problems are, and try to fix them.

That said, there is a time and place for the captain to use common sense.

Anybody else having trouble with icrew mobile? The last two days I have signed in and immediately on the next screen it has the regular icrew logout screen pop up so I can't get in. I have no trouble getting into the regular icrew. Am I the only one?

I wonder if the HVC/Commuters/non-revs left at the gate metric is being measured? QOL can certainly be hit with these small changes and emphasis to close the door.

Had a gate agent push a plane early with two seats available (we were there well ahead of time and he was aware of us) AND he was surprised that I was upset about it.

Oh man, you have NO IDEA!

If the 88 guys went strictly "by-the-book", firstly, every jet would be grounded, and secondly, we'd never get finished doing all the "stuff" they require! We'd have to hold on every turn to complete the checklists and briefs!

I was raised in Hampton, but the high school (Winnacunnett HS) was regional, with 1200 kids from North Hampton, Hampton, Hampton Falls and Seabrook.

Them 'Brooka's was a different breed.

Usually in-bread I believe!
