If you can spoof your ACARS by means other than the CBP (and I'm not talking "get the doors shut so we can get an out time!") then more power to you...

That's because you've only been at RAH for less than a year. It happens at ALL CAL hubs.

Let me add the EWR Ops perfected it before anyone.

I applied to any airline where I meet the Mins, CAL, DAL, NWA..... Of course I would imagine it will take a few 1,000hrs of PIC Turbine before they will look at me. ( I dont really know anyone) I figured I would start applying early and update often

2630TT
1450 Multi
1300 Turbine
1100 PIC, non-turbine of course

Man I hope your right!! If we had all taken that stand a long time ago, we would all be a lot better off! Before anyone flames me, I've held this belief since my "regional/commuter" days.

Have you flown for both? I suspect not as you would understand the vast differences. By almost any metric I can think of, my worst day at Delta was better than my best day at my former regionals. Even post 9/11.

I guess they're just being nice because they won't stop chewing my ear about how frustrated they are with the weight restrictions. I know thats not your (the pilots) fault, but I still hear a lot of complaining.
