Speaking of small changes, I would be happy for one. Can some north guy take those annoying rolls of paper you have up there that are used for printing the flight releases and donate them to Goodwill?

I'm glad that you at least signed this as a rant.
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.

OK.. fair enough, but I want you to understand that a lot of times it does not come across like that. When all that comes out of your keyboard is DAL is slow at doing this.. and backward at doing that yada yada yada.. it sounds as if you are placing blame on us, particularly when you refer to things being run by the Amish and all that crap you DO say. And I do think it quite arrogant that some northies seem to think that since they have seen both sides of this particular merger that they automatically know which system is better strictly by that perspective... all the while intimating that since those of us from the south do NOT have that perspective our view on things is irrelevant. This ain't our first rodeo either Jack. You can deny this all you want, but I'll betcha I am not alone in this view. Nuff said.

You still don't get it... Not one single person on these baords has anything to do with the decisions that were/will be made wrt operations, yet you and Carl continually blame the south guys for it. I don't care that we don't have 2 "releases" of the flight plan. I didn't make that decision, and frankly I don't see the benefit even if I were to make it... but I digress. You wanna stop the whiner label, then quit blaming the south line pilots for all your woes.

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!!!

Newnan and more specifically Summergrove or White Oak tend to be the top choice on that side of town. Schools are decent, more good eating and shopping, Historic Newnan has a small Savannah feel, decent neighbors and many many pilots.
Newnan is in the middle of building out a outdoor type mall that by the time it is done in a few years is rumored to have a Trader Joe's or a Whole Foods, Decent Gym, and every type of store you can want. They have a many chain restaurants and some organic ones as well. Mama Lucias tend to have the best wine list and some of the best Italian food this side of ATL.
There are a decent number of Private Non-denominational, and Christian based schools in the area, two, soon to be three movie theaters between Ashley Park and Fisher Crossing just outside PTC. They are building a new theater and Sam's Club up that way.
In effect, it is not a bad place to live. The North side of the city may offer more, but is generally pricier. Of note I-85 south towards Newnan just finished a major reconstruction project and now has freeway speeds of 65-70 all the way to the airport.
It may not be the end all be all, but it is not to bad to be in a safe place to raise kiddos that takes at most 40 mins from the garage to the parking lot.
If you are looking for a more rual lifestyle, look at some parts of Tyrone, Senoia, Sharpsburg, and down towards La Grange. (LGC for the pilots)
