You can jumpseat on CapeAir though.

No. Check Dlnet, Pilot Tools, Jumpseat Information ...

Wilco.

Did you know that you have to have a minimum of 10 characters in a post? I just found this out.

I need to get to George Town, Bahamas. Cape Air doesn't serve it. DAL Connection serves it from ATL, but only once a day. I was looking for back ups. I can get there through NAS on Bahamasair.

What the H-E double hockey sticks! Why are we talking about flying on an aviation forum? Can't someone insult Tebow or Tennessee and get a real conversation going?

The Big Orange beat UConn yesterday. :D

Bingo!

fwiw, on ATL88B 43 out of 49 pilots available tomorrow or 5 days or less have a raw score < 80. If you take into account that each pilot sits 2 SCs by now, then even by adding 10 points to each pilot you have 40 out of 49 with raw scores below 80. Meanwhile today a weekend, 0 pilots. 2 pilots are on the list but they're probably flying. Daily coverage shows 5 out of 8 trips today were GS.

Didn't know where to look....does anyone know if we can Yellow/Green slip while on vacation? Or can you get a Y/G that would take you into Vac? Lastly if Vac was awarded to a Res line and you already had that day off will you be paid for that Vac day?

Thanks All....Baja.

Like Orvil said, no. No "selling of vacations", it's one of those provisions DALPA has in the PWA to protect ourselves from... ourselves.

Rumor alert. Just had a DL jumpseater tell me he recently had a linecheck and the checkairman said he just went to some big linecheck meeting in Mecca and a VERY high up guy stated we were looking to maybe buy back the DFW hanger and maybe get some gates back. Aren't we getting some MD90s this year?

AirTran flies ATL-NAS.

Ahhhh! I'd fly out of DFW in a heartbeat! Wouldn't be senior enough to even hold reserve, though! ;)

I think it's a mighty big hangar for RJs, kind of overkill. :D

On a not so serious note, and this may make Bar go postal, what if we just bought AMR's MD80s?

As long as you could hold reserve as a 764A or 777A then you're senior enough to hold DFW... M88 B... plug.
