Had Al Gore on a shuttle flight in about Feb after he lost the election to GWB. He was very nice and came up to the cockpit to say hello. As the pax were getting ready to de plane I stood in the doorway to say goodbye as he got up and grabbed his bags and looked at me-all I could think was-wow! Less than 500 votes between Air Force One and the Delta Shuttle! I won't tell you about the flight with Hillary.

Dave Neeleman went through FA school and when he flew he doned an apron that said "Dave" and worked the flight with the FA's. Most pax didn't even know who he was so he got a good "guage" on what customers were thinking. There are some good one's out there, and I think RA is one of them. Hopefully he sticks around for awhile.

Please do...

This is great, UAL was fined $6000 (maybe $12000 in one account) for telling the DOT that it had a plane sit on a tarmac in excess of 3 hours but that the passengers were offered food and water and stairs were connected if someone wanted off.

The DOT said you wasted our time, TMI, you met the requriements of the rule. Tell us only when you didn't.... $6000, make the check payable to Mr. Ray Lahood.

So is the ALPA filing listing Prater's compensation. Same greed different negotiators.

Icrew question: I put in for a white slip trip and didn't get it. Is there a way to find out who got the trip without calling scheduling? I was looking for a spot to put in the rotation number and date, and see who captain was...but I sure can't find it anywhere in Icrew.

Thanks,

Carl

In Icrew, select the Pre-Flight dropdown,

select "Rotation" and input the rotation date, base and rotation # and the trip will be displayed with the crew names.

Just look at daily trip coverage... Under Open time...

Thanks guys. I swear this place has better answers than anybody!
