1.) Holiday's off as a blockholder/regular.
2.) Long LAX, SFO, MIA, LAS, ect. layovers.
3.) 80+ hours a month.

I guess I'm stuck here, which isn't so bad (when I don't have to sit reserve.)

Oh I wouldn't change either, its all about the %. There will always be a 9 in the Delta fleet until everyone on the list is probably retired.

And it's good to be on the 9... are friends on the super premium nb have a subtle warning about life there no matter how fun that side stick looks, or how fun that tray table must be, or how big their cockpit is, or how fun their trips look or how well their air conditioning works... there is a price to be paid:

Well folks, looks like the "tip of the spear" is at it again.

Hartsfield TSA worker allegedly abducts, assaults woman

By Christian Boone

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
3:53 p.m. Tuesday, November 23, 2010

A TSA employee based at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport tried to kill himself after allegedly abducting a young woman, sexually assaulting her then giving her a suicide note to deliver.

The LaGrange Daily News reports that Randall Scott King, whose age was not released, grabbed the woman Wednesday night from a MARTA parking lot in southwest Atlanta then took her to his house in Hogansville near the Alabama border.

After the alleged sexual assault, King released the woman along with his note.

The alleged victim and assailant were not strangers. "They left the airport together voluntarily," Hartsfield-Jackson spokeswoman Katena Carvajales told the AJC.

According to the paper, the woman informed Union City authorities, who on Thursday alerted the Hogansville Police Department. Officers arrived at the man's house to find him with what appeared to be self-inflicted wounds. King is in critical condition at Columbus' Regional Medical Center, the Daily News reports.

King, a behavior detection officer, has been with the Transportation Security Administration for nearly five years, spokesman Jon Allen told the AJC.

"We are cooperating fully with law enforcement during this ongoing investigation," Allen said.

MARTA spokesman Lyle Harris confirmed the transit authority is also assisting in the investigation but deferred questions to Hogansville police. Messages requesting comment have been left with the Hogansville PD.

Return to ajc.com for updates.


Not just a screener, mind you, but a highly trained behavior detection officer.

If the market would rebound a little more that number would go even higher....I think that is what is keeping guys around. Nobody want's to leave when all their investments are still down.
If guys were going to start punching out at 62.5, it would have started happening in June of this year. Granted, we may be having a bit of a "hangover" from the PRIP - and I don't know how many folks are retiring at other properties. Will be interesting to see how it plays out going forward. I'll agree with the person that said just assume, for peace of mind, everyone will choose to punch out at 65. Its only 25 months away, anyway.

As far as staffing goes, they may want to get themselves into a slightly overstaffed situation in the next few years - just because once the wave starts, its going to be hard to stay ahead of. Might be a good idea to have a head start for when things really get rockin' in a few years.

You've still got a week though, what's the hurry??
Wait Wait, I found it..........geeze it's only on the VERY TOP of the page

I just finished it, but I was in no hurry. Being in a southie base now, I got a nice CD in my box with a memo that looked like it was for me. Anyway, I did the CD, entered the competition code but the pop up never went away. After a couple of calls to CPSC who forwarded me to flight records, a nice lady said "wait, your PMNWA......you gotta do it on the LMS". Crap........like you said, my Atlas password expired ages ago so I had to do the questions.

Oh well, done now. Anymore "transition" stuff coming? I can actually see us doing phase/transition stuff 10 years from now

Ferd <--------just loves this computer learning stuff, give me more

Oh yeah and as a reminder never use a circuit breaker as a switch. Except on the -90.
