All kidding aside, I feel your pain so to speak. Was it the Peter Principle that says something about people get promoted to their highest level of incompetence......... I know it's true, look at me!!! (Well, not quite, I've just survived long enough due to fairly good genes!) Fortunately for me, on APC, not to many people know my real name..........unfortunately too many already do!!:D

Does anybody who has seen the terminal plans for JFK want to talk about what they look like for those of us who haven't seen them? What exactly is happening with the Saucer section for instance, is that going to be expanded a little or not at all?

We questioned them, they were ready for a fight and gave one over ground, we got lectured on the fact that airports close to ATL have delays- everyday. Odd, I guess we wouldn't know about that since our job is to fly to all of those close in airports. Anyways, we just asked for a phone number but Dispatch gave us some better numbers ;) so we had some good internal people to talk too that were very receptive considering the delay this puts on our flights.

So I am on a rampage, everytime I go in there from here on out I am going to pepper them with "hey, we'll be pushing at 2125 and be ready to go by 2135, can you coordinate to get our release for 2135 LIKE THEY DO IN PNS AND JAX among others." :rolleyes:

It could me a ZEM thing, don't know, either way, it caused someone who is very laid back to come unglued. Me.

FTB, came unglued. Very rare. Its actually a non-event, kind of like an engine shutdown on an Avro, you might not know it happened because you're not really going that fast to begin with.
:D

Maybe you need to hand out some APC case stickers for identification purposes. :)

Ah well this isn't helping, now I don't know your real name. Or do I? Crap, you know I'm just getting screwed again here. I am the defender of my passengers, the protector of my employer, the lead... the follower of men, and nobody wants to tell me my real name or yours and its just like the Nashville thing all over again and I'm just going to end up being really late.

Truer words were never spoken! I will probably be sitting a lot more reserve now and I have GOT to re-familiarize (is that a word?) myself with all the reserve rules again. I'm sure I'll get bitten a time or two but hopefully not for the same thing twice!!:)

Hey, what are you doing up so late!?! That is, if you are on the east coast........

Hey Gentlemen,

If you do a green slip on reserve do you get paid the reserve pay for the trip on top of gurantee, or the regular pay for the trip?
