All,

I was a little grumpy yesterday and may have taken a more negative turn than normal. Better now, sorry.

However a picture is worth a K words so here is my apology and way of reminding people that it's under a week to College Football (GT opens on the 1st):

I was sent from 97% to 102%, hence out of category...still waiting for the exact dates for training in November. Hoping a supplemental AE to fill empty A330 positions might possibly move me back in with reinstatement.

It is time we start thinking about UPS/Continental type pay structures. The company is adding lower paying airplanes to replace the higher paying ones. (737s replacing 757s and 767s). tsquare has been saying this for a long time.

And yes we ALL feel the squeeze.

Flatten the payscales.
Ok. So a small amount of NYC flying may leave. However, MSP will likely lose more flying in addition to the 330 base that was already closed, & it's likely MEM will lose ALL of it's flying.

Along this same note.... Wednesday we had a flight leaving KPDK (Atlanta) and 2 our our guys (CP included) said they felt a tremble on the plane and said there was no Helicopter, jet blast, or anything that would have done that. They said it had to be some sort of small earthquake! I called BS on this to them, but who knows! Did any of you ATL boys feel anything? I feel like a moron even asking about this

Would have been Wednesday at about 1715 lcl

Man yall are a bunch of negative nellies. This could be RA's dream come true. Hurricane force winds blow term 3 away and the storm surge washes away all the asbestos! Boom, there goes a big dent in ma DAL's capex!!!!!!

The tremor hit Atl around 1400 or so. I felt it at my house, but had I even been standing up I would not have felt it. It sounded like a wind gust hit the house with the shift caused by the initial hit and then an extremely faint wiggling for about 30 seconds.
