Am I being overly sensitive or did that not come across as a bit of an F you?

It's not a happy endings spa. And even if it was I don't think it'd help some people's b**** faces. That's an actual thing folks. Google it.

That said, maybe it's like Disney now? Notice how they're always so well trimmed up when you're at Disney world? They have a barber shop.

If this is the case and we become more Disney like, I want to wear this:

I must have missed this one. Where are they doing this?

I have deviated from deadhead on the front or back of trips about 3X a month for the last year, and I would estimate I get EC over 90% of the time. So I feel this is a major status quo violation.

Also, what is this spa in the pilot lounge you are referring too?

How many pilots would trade a economy comfort delta + seat for a "happy endings spa" in the lounge?

How many flights would be 5 mins late??????

No kidding.... for any pilot over 6'4" this is a horrific development.:eek:

Those economy comfort seats made it just barely bearable for anything over an hour!

March of 2008. Or close enough to the right date.

So 8 years to 320A... and probably dropping further down the SL.

^^^This! We may see 3 years NYC320 or 73 Captains soon. I have no desire to commute to that, but probably not bad if you live locally.

I'm definitely doing something wrong then cause I never get EC. I'm just happy if I can get out of the middle seat.

The ATL lounge, as you walk in, the room on right where people have stored pubs bags and there are some computers. Think in days gone by it was the schedulers. At any rate, that part of lounge and the crew outfitters store are going away to become a spa. There are signs up, think it starts in mid May.

Is this the spa for the FA's I heard about?
