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.

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.

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.

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.
