Not to mention there are no moving costs paid for (unless your base closes and youre the last one out) or moving days provided for with said base changes.

The idea the commuting is a pure choice is absurd.

I'm not kidding. My dog knows my log in! (as per the latest memo, he won't check my schedule when I'm in flight. Otherwise, no treats)

Got your message tonight when I got in... I'll call ya tomorrow. Hope all is well!

Let him check while you are flying. My wife does. They just told you to stay off GOGO.

"Pineal"...do you guys mean Pinal Airpark near Marana, Az north of Tucson?

Yessir!

Been there a few times with our jets. I do not know if you can get near any of it. Evergreen has a security gate about a mile from the flight line.

Looks like over 2000 flights in a seven day period for a couple small snow storms.

As I understand it, it is not so much trucks but approved locations that have the proper drain facilities. Part of ATL's issues was that about 10 years ago they found de ice fluid in College Park's water supply.

Speaking of helo flying, did everyone see that National Geographic special on "inside AF1" and "inside Marine 1?"

The AF1 is pretty cool in that they talk about the Baghdad flight in 2003 but Marine 1 is fascinating in that they show a guy getting trained to fly in and out of the WH. It was like his OE. "okay stay to the left over here, just don't hit the tree and then make your turn..."

Good pointers to know to stay off the 30 minute news reel! :D

Yes, I saw it. Very cool.
