I think my favorite is the EMB 170 pilot vs the 747 pilot. Reason for becoming a pilot? "HELL YEAH!"

What happens when you "opt in" to the crew notification option. Do you get a text message anytime there is a change to your schedule? What about when on reserve? Thank you for any insigh.

So Sailing, could in ATL we see a shift towards mainline aircraft over RJs?
For instance there are some routes we're doing on the 88 lately that we've taken back from the RJs and they aren't necessarily full. Preemptive move away from competing with AAI with RJs so as to not flood the market with seats but establish a high number of seats for a market?

Remember though, that the CRJ700/900/1000 and E175/195 are not "regional jets" from an economic perspective. They are as efficient, if not more efficient on a sector and CASM basis than your MD88. They are "RJ's" by our definitions, but to an accountant there is no distinction with mainline equipment. The DC9's will be replaced with E175's CRJ900's and a few MD90's. Mostly the MD90's are going to be used to take cycles from the 757's.
We need to get them here (warts and all). It can be a cost neutral exchange. I hope bringing those on board is at least contained in our opener. We should be supporting American and Continental / United in this effort.

I don't remember seeing that on the 320, but that doesn't mean it wasn't installed. Maybe I just never pushed the rudder hard enough 
Seriously though, unless you taking off or landing in a crosswind, the airbus is pretty much a feet-on-the floor airplane. It was very rare to need rudder, and that was usually only to correct an out of trim situation.
*Disclaimer - If you're reading this and thinking of bidding either Airbus in Atlanta, disregard. The rudder/tail of the airplane is scary and as FedElta points out, at .15G it will abrupty snap off [*editorial liberty taken when quoting FedElta

They still call you on rsv.
A lesson on how not to be an idiot with your brand new Android:
Ringer off does not necessarily equal vibrate mode, unlike my previous Palm.
I rolled over to 3 completely silent missed phone calls this morning (while on short call). 2 from scheduling, 1 from the duty pilot. Fill in the blank on what those said.
My knees are really sore right now....
