Dear Clamp,
We miss the late night Clamp Show. What does NewK look like? I'm thinking,



a Russell Crowe type? What do you say? Am I close? Do you have a better picture of him?

Maybe we should have a Picture That Newk contest?

Thanks,
Sleepless north of Atlanta knowing that if I own it, and it uses a/c, its broke, if not broke, it will re-broke soon "

Congrats, that should be a good QOL improvement; 20 minute commute and all ;-)

Cheers

Not trying to gripe, but what's going on with MSPM88?? SLCM88 is officially over, and MSP M88 is still running close to 40% on reserve. Is it ever gonna end?

End gripe mode.

SEA is out, but missing the link. If you select SEA 330 and change 330 to 7ER in the address bar, it will show the SEA 7ER results. At least for B, I haven't tried A.

I agree. I've been wondering the same thing.

I'm 180 out on my experiences. In ATL when it's not busy I get right into a spot and get connected ASAP. In DTW, for example, the place isn't any where near as busy, but we wait each and every single time...I mean 8-10 mins on average just sitting there outside the gate. I've called them well in advance; follow up with a call when we get there and nothing appears to be taking place, and then the wait. Typically there's a baggage cart that has to be moved, and eventually they get around to that, and then a couple of mins later everyone is ready to marshal the plane in. Wish I had your experience there. MSP, on the other hand, is much better. For me, they mirror ATL fairly well--both are usually right there, ready for you, and both sometimes find the jetway at times needing a gate agent to bring it up to the aircraft.

I just finished a 4 day and got the CA to SE taxi almost every leg. An exception was a 5 min taxi in JFK(of all places) off Gate 1 to 31L @ KK. We needed 5 minutes since it was first flight of the day and we actually had to wait 2:30 before we started to taxi. Guys are getting better.

One thing that needs to be changed is our Vol 1 prohibits X-Bleed starts with the parking brake OFF. It must be set in order to do a X-Bleed start, so if we want to SE Taxi we have to keep the APU running. That needs to be changed.

Hey, I've been trying to SE taxi on the DC9,...but on a -50 series above 110000 # I feel like I am blowing stuff over as I push 'em up over 80% to get the ship moving ! That doesn't include asphalt nervana's like EWR! That's about 90% ! Ahhhhh!

Soooooo........SE taxing on a -9 sometimes can blow stuff over......
