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."

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.

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

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?
