Looking at the ATL330 captain to FO ratio, it appears there will be some 12+ hour flights included which to me means Lagos in the winter.

Trying to remove the competition? The 330's fly to Europe now, and there is no New York base for them. There no reason to think they wouldn't fly to Europe from the ATL once there is a base there. In fact, I would expect some of the better flying will occur there. SEA will handle Asia, and ATL will fight over Europe with DTW. Who do you think is closer to the fleet planner's ear?

Anyone with a Sprint EVO having a problem checking flights on travelnet and using FireFox after installing the latest phone software?

Actually I'm hoping a lot of the DTW A330 pilots senior to me who commute from FL will bid ATL.

Like I said, I do expect ATL to eventually get more European flying, but they can't staff it that big overnight. Initially I would expect them to get the flying that can't be serviced from other airports.

For example, trips like DTW-FCO-ATL-FCO-JFK-FCO-DTW and DTW-AMS-ATL-AMS-DTW wouldn't require deadheads and the trips that require deadheads to NYC can still be handled by DTW. The Lagos, Accra, Angola and HNL on the other hand....

I'm confident that over the next few bids they'll staff ATL 330 enough to share Europe with DTW and maybe even add South America.

Yes, yes I am. And it's damn frustrating.

Ftb, I've experienced the funbag restrictions. I was so excited when my wife gave birth and she grew two giant toys for daddy. Then junior had to hog the milk machines and the wifey was in so much pain that she set up a 30 mile no-fly zone around them.

And I got so excited I didn't proof read it... ya'll are wrong. UP UP DOWN DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT B A START... not multiple B A, no select. Its burned into my skull. And I double checked from a reputable source after I saw all these other variations and was pretty certain they were wrong...

Hmm... apparently "Hey come sit with me while I catch up on APC" doesn't register in a 2 year old's vocabulary. Sadly, my commentary for the evening will be lost. The forum is likely a better place as a result.... :)
