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

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.

Well Joe, that was not the case for at lest three of the pilot that I know.

You know that profit sharing is paid on an annual basis, right? That means a 2011 snowstorm won't affect 2010's numbers....

Based on the numbers management discussed at their investor's day in December and the reductions from the Christmas snow, I expect a check for about 6.5% of 2010 eligible pay delivered February 14. That's a wag based on pilots being 1/3 of the payroll and profit sharing pool being about $310 million.

Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to it.

I think part of the problem is ATL has an enourmous amount of originating traffic.
