Thats like 10pm our time, so that's before the 80 Knots Clamp Show, but I can't wait to get his take on JAL and see who is on his guest lineup. Possibly ACL? Slow? New?

Can't wait.

its also during the GaTech game, I'm already bracing myself after last nights TCU game to be greatly disappointed during a GaTech vs Iowa game. I fell in love with TCU last night. :D ;)

Give or take. I figure the guys have to land, eat and chat a bit. Shortly after that they will make the announcement if they have come to agreement. If not it continues.

They still have 6+30 left in flight. It will be 0100 at least ATL time. They are over Alaska.

Thats most definately during the show. ACL, will you be able to attend? :D

So they are just going to burst out of the plane, champagne bottles blazing and a flight attendant on each arm to announce the deal and that we are up in the hizouse??? It's done like that?

Cause if it is, I'd hate to be an AK pilot. AA is going after them with a vengence (and 2000 guys on furlough).

Maybe. Depends on if I want to stay up tonight since I will be up all night tomorrow night. Got one of those pesky European trips :D

That is what I said, cool your jets. They are on the way over there. There is no press conference posted yet.

Also, do you not think that DAL saw the Alaska response coming?

... and henceforth on Airline Pilot Central, Nu will be known by his new moniker ... "The Finger"

While we are waiting for the 80 kts clamp show, anyone care to fill in what hotel is the new hotel in ATL for training?

Check your PM's. I am sure you will get a few.
