I must have missed the part where they mentioned that we would not have winter.

Just flew with a newhire (40hrs on the 320, was better than alot of Fos that have been on the 320 for 10+ yrs.) If he is representative of what we have hired, I am impressed. Not a flow thru, just a off the street regional pilot.

Just got a text from a friend on the one DTW-BOS flight that just departed. A320 with the FO on OE. Glad I was not the IP.

Hey, speaking of work type situations, any truth to the rumor that our Atlanta headquartered subcontracted lift provider has been handing out trip failures to people who can't make the drive in this week?? Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

Not true. Company was very understanding and didn't want anyone to risk it if they felt it was dangerous. The company was also getting hotel rooms for people near the airport. I had training this week and they put me up in a nice hotel nearby so that I wouldn't have to drive. Things have changed here for the better.

Don't let Carl hear you say that! They are blood sucking scourges working for slave wages to steal his 7th week of vacation.:cool::D

Well, I just arrived at our "new" training the hotel in ATL. Much improved over the previous hotel. My only complaint is that the Wifi is EXTREMELY slow! Not much faster than dialup. This is going to be frustrating for the next 30 days!

Where is that AE you guys were talking about popping out this week? I'm getting anxious about this pulling MEM DC9's down to ATL rumor. ;)

All profit sharing lost in recent snow storms. But still call in for white slips and green slips.

We have MEM and CVG in idle when they could relieve the pressure off Atlanta. So when Atlanta goes down, the effects are reduced throughout the system.

Have to agree here . They should relieve ATL with MEM and CVG. Went through MEM today and no problems. Should have rerouted may pax through there.
