Comedy legend Leslie Nielsen, who achieved global success in movies such as 'Airplane' and 'The Naked Gun,' has died at age 84.
And don't call me Shirley

Thanks for all the great laughs and late night repeated one liners Mr Nielsen, you're missed all ready.

Once the trip is on your line you are pay protected. It will be treated for sick leave just like any other trip if its a WS. If you get a GS and then sick out you do not get double pay. It is then treated like a WS and you get single pay.

Hmmm, funny. With NWAs superior (obviously) system, you got "NW Airlines" on your caller ID no matter if a live scheduler called you, or "the machine".

But it mattered much less, since there was no junior manning anyway.

Guess it's just a matter of standing up for what you want fixed. Go figure....

It is real SImple Nu, Get Anonymous Call Block. Problem solved. It is part of my home package and did not know it until they told me that their automated system can only call my cell and not my house since I had the feature on.

Argggggggg.............yes but

Why do "we" have to do work arounds for a poorly designed or outdated system. Someday "we" will quit making excuses for "them".

And no, it wasn't perfect at brand X either. So please, no one throw that one back. Just saying we need to expect better or we'll get what we expect.

JMHO

Electricity was being restored late Monday morning to several Delta Air Lines gates at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, several hours after half of Concourse B lost power.

The power outage resulted in delays and some cancellations Monday as the last of the Thanksgiving fliers mixed with the normal influx of business travelers.

The power went out to about half of Concourse B shortly after 5 a.m., impacting 18 of the airport's 199 gates.

"The power is now being restored and operations are returning to normal," airport spokeswoman Katena Carvajales said in an 11:45 a.m. e-mail.

Delta spokesman Anthony Black told the AJC that Delta canceled about two dozen flights and shifted flights originally assigned to the affected gates to other gates.

Black said the airline held some arriving flights on the ground in other cities until 9 a.m. At 10 a.m., flights were arriving on a delayed basis. Those delays ranged from a few minutes to up to an hour, he said.

The cause of the outage has not been determined.

Other than the power outage, airport spokesman John Kennedy said things were running smoothly at the airport on one of the year's busier travel days.

We had one of those a few years back after there was a fire in one of the equipment rooms.

I'm guessing that this is the first time EVER that these two things have ever been uttered in the same sentence.....
