KATL 100352Z 09011KT 2 1/2SM -PLSN BR SCT008 OVC085 M03/M04 A3016 RMK AO2 SFC VIS 3 SLP224 PLB39 SNINCR 1/3 P0012 T10281044

SNINCR means "snow increasing rapidly."

Pretty much quit snowing. Looks like at least three inches on the ground. It's flippin cold to boot.

You mean it's over, already? After only what, 4 hours of snowing?

Wow...Well, I guess I'll have to get up there to the sim after all, I was hoping for a foot or two and they would cancell my CQ on Tuesday!

Up to 4 inches already here just south of Lawrenceville!

I still don't like the idea of it. If there is some kind of deal, those dudes need to be gone to get it. No hanging around collecting paychecks while being "retired". GONE.. then maybe I'll be interested.

We had a PERP at DAL before. It was to get rid of the pre 72 guys if memory serves correctly. The only thing I DO remember about it is that they got the money, and were allowed to hang around until their replacements were trained.. care to guess how long that took??

T,

The PERP program for the pre-72 guys was in the 90's. It was supposed to be for 500 guys but the company let more than that take it. I believe it was something like 578 but am not sure. They did not hang around in the PRP program and get any money. I flew a couple of retirement trips with these guys.

The PRP (post-retirement pilot) program:mad: was a result of the exodus of guys prior to bankruptcy.

Satchip, keep us up to date. They are saying 6 inches, followed by a 1/4 incg ih of ice.

Wonder what, if anything is going to fly out of ATL tomorrow.

If satchip says it's 6 inches, it will barely cover the ground. hehehehehehehehe Typical Bammer... :D

If I'm wrong it wouldn't be the first time... Anyway, thanks for the edification. I still wouldn't want to go down that road unless there was some sort of iron clad way to get them out the door.. and wordsmiths always can find a way around any contract language... it's what they do.

I'm glad we finally don't have to hear about Katrina and the dog killer anymore... :) Now if we can get rid of the Brady bunch it'll all be good.

So, flew one of the few flights that arrived in ATL tonight after 10 PM. Would like to go home but bus to parking lot is no longer running due to cars out of control in the CC lot and snow/ice on CC pkwy. What a fine fix this is.
