Agree to disagree and move on.
Where is the information about the Sept A/E?

Not to worry - it is just the normal ebb and flow of this thread. It happens ever couple of months or so and then an interesting or important issue will pop up and the thread takes on a different tone.
FWIW there is nothing wrong with disagreement, and even some level of overly enthusiastic posting is generally OK. Remember, this is an anonymous web board. If you keep that in mind, and consider we just concluded the worlds largest airline merger, I don't think we are doing too bad.
Scoop
PS - Thanks to your avatar the best I can ever hope to be is the 2nd most interesting person in the world.

Agreed Scoop.
Given the enormity of this merger, I am utterly impressed that we can have civil conversation about anything. It is going extremely well for flt ops.

Bottom line: when its 94 in Detroit, hook up the freakin air. Do I really need to take over the airline and make this happen or is that, by nature, fairly intuitive? Sheesh, some of you guys scare me.

None of us northies blame southies for any of this. We northies know that you guys are just line pilots like the rest of us. Mostly we're just dejected that even the smallest change takes a very long time, and that management seems to have the idea that if it wasn't invented in ATL, then it ain't happening.
None of that is a south guy's fault, and none of us are saying that.

So I'm moving the family to ATL. Where do you guys recommend living? Is peachtree city as good/bad as everyone says? Fayetteville too redneck? Roswell/Marietta too uppity? Any and all opinions and info welcome.
Background: Invader from the north looking to get into ATL soon
2 small kids that will be in the public schools in a few years. Wife's job is on the SE side of the city so we're looking to minimize her commute. Budget: FO pay, I hate big house payments 
Fire away!!!

Not to mention the airline you work for now is well over 2 times the size of any carrier you've worked for in your past.
You know better than that.

Welcome to the land of molasses - Delta (no matter how many prior/former/experience, etc. etc. former NWA guys/pilots/management (RA included) has always moved at the pace of a southern drawl! That is culture and even outsiders (pilots, anyone else that moves to Mecca) ends getting the "frontal lobotomy" we used to kid about that 0-6s in the military received when they pinned on their eagles. Believe me, I know ALL of us would love to see anything that makes our job easier and better. I REALLY, REALLY wish that we start seeing some of them.
Always remember that we just lived through the MOST successful, LARGEST airline merger EVER. Sure don't see (ever hopeful) much to see in the new UAL to mirror what we accomplished due to the great people at both airlines that merged.
Tip of a hat to us!
