Wait, so the 9 doesn't have a flux detector but it has a flux capacitor?

So when they get struck by lighting, do they just disappear back in time? Makes sense, I mean look at this old picture from 1968! A DC-9 NO LESS!

Yep. It turns out the all aluminum structure is perfect for time travel. Anything with composites in the airframe disrupts the flow of chroniton particles.

Why do you think they called the successor the MD-88? 88 MPH? Coincidence??

Have you two forgotten that you made up a long time ago because you had a "common enemy?" Come on boys. Stop fighting each other and join forces again! Election season is right around the corner. :D

Thanks for reminding me newK.

It's easy to forget because tsquare is a grouchy old senior captain. And I have nothing in common with those kind of guys. :D

I took it for granted, when Knew compared walking on water and getting an on-time departure in ATL, that it was not a hypothetical.

That being said, inasmuch as I feel the ATL is a despicable, soul-crushing place, I cannot but marvel at their ability to pump airplanes through. It's one of the easiest places to get an on-time departure in the continental US.

I'm thinking he was talking about your attitude, not your actual circumstance. :D (just pulling your chain, T :))

Did anyone else notice we can check-in for non-rev travel and print Seat Request Cards at home?

In seemingly unrelated news, I understand they are looking at a magic talking box that will call you with schedule changes! Or even send you words through the ęther to your portable word box!

The Red Tailed Dragon had such witchcraft...the parchment describing it's mystical abilities was carbon dated at two thousand two anno domini.

Maybe we can get Indiana Jones on the case to uncover other such treasures!

How about for a scheduled Deadhead? Is there a way we can check in the day before to pick out a good seat online? I can't find anything that looks like a confirmation code on my pattern.

Nevermind, I figured it out.

I think with our record locator number and rotation number we can even send a boarding pass to our mobile device. Can't do that for non-rev travel yet, but it did say you could do it for crew travel.

At Continental you can go to their website, enter your last name, check in for any type of non-rev travel, choose your seat, print a boarding pass or send it to your mobile device, and never even talk to an agent at the airport. Would free up alot of time our agents waste on non-revs and it would be nice if we could do it without a record locator number.
