We ended up figuring it out on our own. The issue is this I have no problem taking MARTA or doing something to help out during IROPS but when the companies handling of crews is bordering on incompetence it is unacceptable.
2 plus on hours to get to speak to a person in crew tracking, same for crew accommodations. Finally called to the Chief Pilots office in MSP to let them know we would not make our flight due to lack of transportation.

Not sure if it will be the same but it would give you a robo call to tell you to check your schedule for changes. You could check via that phone call or you could go to the computer.
This will be a great leap forward during irops.

I am looking forward to the release of the Motorola Tablet with the Andriod Honeycomb OS.
I am with you Google is going to give Apple a run for their money.
When you tether your EVO are you using PDA net?

I thought of adding capts. also. But I have not flown with any other than myself on the bus. It was a given that he was sharper than me.
