Not trying to stir the pot here (well, maybe) but can anyone tell me the rational behind replacing the 319/320 and 330 Fleet Captain positions with fdal guys who have never flown the aircraft. Looks like more "operation visine"

Let's see: Brett Favre, rated number 31 out of 34 quarterbacks and leads the league in interceptions, but it's never really his fault because he's hurt, or doesn't have the talent around him, but never hurt enough to let the other guy start, or to jump up and down with arms, shoulders and elbows extended when he throws a touchdown pass, but grabs at the same arms, shoulders, and elbows when he throws a pick, gets my vote for the year.
Well, at least he now has a clean slate for excuses.
I'll add to buzz's slogan....
"Pr1cks throwing picks and texting D1cks!"

The other two were completely different engine models. No patterns or trends. Just nasty coincidence.
The worst part may be that the flight returning to ATL had a tail strike on landing.
Look for some additional single engine landing practice in next year's recurrent.

On reserve, can they reroute you into a non-golden x day on a whim, or can they only do that when no other reserves are available to cover? I know its in Sec. 23 somewhere, but that's why I have you guys!!

The airline is line oriented and much of the standards stuff comes from the LCP side of things. Of course the way this push without numbers stuff was designed and implemented I've got to wonder....
