Pilot, Flight Attendant and Aircraft schedules should match or at least the first two, every day.

That's the weak link in swop.

Buzz, I agree! I thought mine was very well done and I learned a lot.

Not to digress, but the funny thing is though, I still have no idea what the purpose of short call pilots is in my category. I was on short call a week or so ago, and several GSs went out on trips that would have been perfect for me. I don't get it. Anyway.. I hope this helps
I've had one GSWC since I've been at Dal.

T, I have noticed the same thing - Greenslips with guys on shortcall...? OK

Were the DAL/NW 320/330's also modified to automatically provide that alert ?

Thanks in advance.....

Sir, I think you might be correct. I couldn't find much etymology (that's the study of word origins, right? or it something about insects.. I forget) Anyway, not much on the word other than it originated around 1825 which might suggest that it WAS more of a western thing. I stand corrected... I think.

Since most of the news has been bad lately, here's a bright spot. At least according to wiki, here is the Air Nigeria fleet:

Boeing 737-300 8
Boeing 737-400 0 1 order
Embraer E-190 2 7 order

I don't THINK they have anything that can make it across, so hopefully this will just be their pax connecting to our transoceanic stuff. I hope Delta doesn't buy them a few widebodies so they don't have to pay us to fly them. All this stagnation makes a guy cynical!

Oh yeah, could we please let the SWA to Europe thread die or use pictures to get it taken down? We are looking a little insecure over there, and it's not even a fun thing to think about. At least for the junior guys!
