Question for you NYC guys. Other than a taxi, what is the best way to get from LGA to JFK and about how much time should I allow for the trip. Also, where is flt ops/crew lounge etc. in JFK. Thanks

cheap way is the q33 bus from lga to Roosevelt station (end of the line) the the e train to Jamaica station then the air train to term 2/3. Total cost is 7.50 and allow yourself at least an hour.

For 11.00 you take the airport transporter bus to jfk. Private company not mta. Takes about 30 min depending on traffic.

There is an airport bus that is $13. If no one to share a cab with, it is about the cheapest.. unless you have all day to take the Q-Runner. Go straight out the terminal.. down the escalatoe and look for a dude.. or dudette.. in a blue smock with a giant card reader on their belt. Ask for the next JFK bus.. I think they run basically on the half hour. Takes about 30 minutes.. 45 at the very most, and they drop you at T3 in the horseshoe.

I am not willing to put a number limit out there yet. I may agree or disagree with you, but with our cash uptrend a lot is possible.

* Of note; C2K rates, IMO should be seen, it may not be on the front end of the PWA though. If we get a three year agreement with a COLA and or percentage even after the amendable date of the next PWA, you will see them.

I have a pretty good idea where our percentage bump in year one should be. I just think it is too early to commit to it.

Not going to argue that. I am not under 30 nor over 45.

Also, depending on the initial pitch from the company(assuming it is a good honest first offer) I see no reason to wait three years for a 10% bump, when we could be back in section six in the same amount of time by taking a good offer with a shorter duration.
*I am big on a 36 month duration this time around depending on when it is signed and what the details are. Going the more traditional route makes me lean heavier that way

Why, you ask?

Because every sim period I have is an A period except for 3 B periods in the 400 series. :eek:

Someone in training planning has a sick sense of humor...

oh dear, that ain't gonna work for you at all.

I guess you could sleep from 2pm-10pm and then just post and then go fly?

He may become an early morning person after all! :D Maybe he and Mrs 80 should work on expanding the family so he can get all of that early stuff out of the way at once! :rolleyes:

When you're geting on your flight to LGA, look around for the other Delta bubbas. Form an ad hoc group and split the cost for your Kew Cab. Call (718) 846-6666 when your plane pulls up to the gate, and the cab should be either waiting for you at the curb or be there shortly thereafter. Total damage is usually < $10, it's easy, and it's convenient.

The difference between cash flow and profit in the quarter comes down to advanced bookings. If I buy a ticket in March for a June vacation, the cash flow shows up in the March quarter. The revenue for the ticket is not booked until the June quarter when I actually take the trip. You normally see cash flow beat profit in the first quarter as passengers book ahead for summer travel. In the September quarter, you usually see profit ahead of cash flow as those advanced bookings unwind but you still get the tail end of the summer travel surge.
