Thanks!

I just checked todays loads SAT/ATL, as a long time non-revver I would be thrilled to see that many seats avail anytime. Word to the wise, watch out for the HK's, they'll sneak up on you. Best of luck, space avail sucks these days.

Exactly. And management hasn't been afraid to ignore the contract recently.

No way I'd do anything personal on the Man's tablet.

last 4 order

Sorry if this has been clarified already, but the order for last 4 of ss for seniority starts at 0 and goes to 9, or is the other way around? I saw a guy post about starting with a 2 and being worried he will be really junior. I start with a 9 so I am on one of the extremes, but just can't figure out which one?

Thanks!

You'll often see Medallion customers just show up out of the blue after that meeting finished early. Or, people buy the low demand departures that are sometimes cheaper and then pay the $50 fee to standby by on the earlier flight(s).

They should however be reflected in the availability list when checking flights unless they are miss connects.
