AF. She wanted something called a "lady drink" but I don't know what that is:rolleyes:. Cleared Dundee check after that:D

As NewK and I will attest to.........what is really sad it this just give us ammunition for late night rants between points A and B. Our poor post merger newhire FOs are just going to roll their eyes and quietly beg for it to stop.

I refuse to be one of "those guys."

If one of the new guys asks me about the merger, I will give my Merger Convention response: Name, Date of Hire, Seniority Number.

I would rather the domestic airlines come to an agreement on a bag specification (something like UL certifications for light bulbs). Make a standard height, length, and width.

You get one "certified" bag on the aircraft for free. Only certified bags or smaller can be carried onboard. Everything else is checked. Additional bags or oversized bags have a fee and get checked.

Simple?

That's actually an excellent idea.

The interesting thing is that I remember RA specifically saying that A14 is going to be the focus.... not D0.

However, we're typically pretty tightly blocked anyways, and planes sitting in the gate with gate checked bags filled with bowling balls, grandmothers, and small horses trying to be loaded doesn't help A14 very much.

If we all had the same size overhead bins that would be the answer, don't think that's the case though...

My approach has been, and will be,: you get one leg to *****. After that, I don't want to hear it. Seems to be working so far. ;)

Most the guys I fly with just want to do the job and go home. Makes flying a pleasure.

Yep, I can honestly say I haven't flown with anybody that I wouldn't want to fly with again. A few, here and there, that I won't be champing on the bit to see again but, all in all, great guys.

+1 and hoping it stays that way.
