Nope, has nothing to do with Wiki. Not hinting anything, just giving today's phrase. :D

So how far down the list of options is the out of base white slip when filling open trips? 49 reserves available yesterday and they awarded 5 W and on O. They did call one regular reserve. Sure wish I lived in base.

#7 out of 26. That was fun. Look where GSWC sit.

Snow forecasted for ATL tomorrow, no accumulation but does this mean flights XLD anyways?

I saw that - I think it was less than 12 hours, so the Out of Base White slip went before a base SC reserve. (#4 out of 26)

But how many long call guys had yellow slips in? Just seems fishy to me.

SWA? Huh?

PS, I shoulda' quoted to preserve the evidence!

RTFQ, eh?

Destroying the evidence of my poor reading skills in 3 .. .2. . 1. . :)

"The Cranky Flier" has a good rundown and analysis of the Tokyo Haneda slot fight. Highly recommended, good for the layman.

Most interesting is that the actual slot times they're talking about giving out aren't exactly PRIME slots.
