See how I did that? I just line 'em up and you knock 'em down, guys.


Hint: Post cheerleader pictures. It's Saturday.
Better yet, what kind of airline were you guys running up there?



Found that on a search for the perfect cheerleader pic. Don't ask how. These searches can get pretty crazy sometimes.

And fwiw, those who might now know, that is not was N.W.A. stood for.

Hopefully those court transcripts will come back to haunt him and someone else will get the job. I don't think we want Ed Bastion in the top position. Had to love Judge Prudence comeback to Bastion's janitor comment before Delta got her removed. Mr Bastion, Your janitors can't fly can they?
If I have one problem with RA its under his watch there has been almost total neglect of the customer. In most of the important customer service areas we are doing very poorly. That may come back to haunt us in a few years. Contrary to opinion people are not being born faster then we can p___ them off!
Any predictions on when RA may call it quits...merely speculation of course. I would think he would want to stick around at the very least until he has the company meeting the operational goals he has set forth. The good thing is he is an airline guy, at least I believe he has defined himself as such before.

I think passenger treatment will improve once lingering post-merger labor issues subside and aircraft interiors/airport facilities updates are completed. Oh that and when our lovely 90 year old cat-wranglers decide to retire.

Oh he has one, and trust me, I don't want him fired. Nobody wants Miles fired except LSU fans.

As to us, we were left out thanks to a team full of ncaa violations, i.e. cheaters. I'll still take where we're headed over where LSU is headed any day, like I said, keep Les Miles and Mark Richt right where they are.

Amen.

FTB,

Check with PreFlight Parking. They used to give a 35% discount, but you had to sign up first. They have a website (preflightparking.com) where you should be able to get the phone number. I don't think you can sign up online though.

I signed up for SPOT parking on Deltanet. Look for the discounts/Sparkfly section and it should be in there. Uncovered I think is $4 or $5 bucks and covered is a few bucks more. As far as landside parking goes....your not 'supposed' to use it to non-rev but at least your going through security if you do. I was told by management that its OK to use it for commuting. Everybody I know who commutes leaves a car in the Landside lot.

Sparkfly is ending in the near future and we will roll out our own discount programs. Plan accordingly.

This was mentioned on the discount page and in a few other publications.

I don't want to be a head coach. I'll stick to being a pilot. Geeze. What a game.
A win is a win, but yesterday my brother (LSU alum) said LSU is the worst 5-0 team in the country. Sloppy win.

I have learned there are many "should be automatics" that aren't.
Put in the request last night after the last sort. Now it's Sunday and 2 sorts have happened and it is still 'active' What gives? I did have a process until date of the 5th (2 days.) Should I make the process until date the following day? The trip is still shown in 'actual' open time. Huh....

Baja.
