When I was on the ER I used to refer to E concourse (intl concourse) in ATL as the "attack of the killer tomatoes" but if the fruit gets bigger I can only guess what's going to happen!

9953......

9954......


nah, this will take too long.


I vote ACL to make 10,000 and make it whatever this good news is. If we reach 10,000 before the 15th then so be it, he'll have to tell us and if someone goes to jail then I am sure they'll be okay. It'll be one of those minimum security places, they have conjugal visits you know and tennis. And cornhole.

That's hilarious.

Its worse on the weekday trips. Thats all I fly and all I get is Captains who own airplanes and whose kids are near my age... :D... and they own airplanes at Peachtree City/Newnan or some private flying field. I need to fly the weekends more with younger crews and I guess in due time thats all I'll be able to fly. ;)

9956......

Ice, your correct (of course) it's apples and oranges. I'm a big supporter of our call in honest policy, and I believe that the new Delta will see it's wisdom after SOC. I was simply trying to say the company can't say no to everything when they start moving the flying around. "The art of war is the art of the logistically feasible" - Patton

Ferd,

You're right about the inconsistency, but those horses are out of the barn. We will unfortunately have to make that argument separately.

Also, it seems to me that there is potential for a lot of upheaval in commuting rules, ref. the Colgan/Buffalo event. Never mind that it had little to do with fatigue and commuting, and everything to do with incompetence and oversight: the media has decided commuting and fatigue were responsible.

As an aside: what exactly was the difference between the N and S Call in Honest policies?

N call in honest is a great deal. Need 2 flights that both get you to base BEFORE report time. First flight can be offline, 2nd must be NWA. If you do not get on the 1st flight(company verifies this) then you are positive spaced on the 2nd(NWA) flight. If you do not make it(i.e. mx, wx) by report time on positive spaced flight then there are no issues(except for not getting paid:eek:).

Problem with SDAL commuters is(I think ACL pointed out), they are more concentrated than NDAL commuters. For example, DFW could have a lot of positive spaced commuters on flights to ATL.

Thank God!...somebody's going to need to.

Thanks Richie.
