The initial staffing model was thinking that the staffing for ATL would be primarily filled from current -200 CA's. Over the last few vacancy moves FO's have been taking spots. This may "make sense" in the numbers game, but in a cost plus world where we are already the "cheap Wh@re" of the industry its a shame. I feel sorry for CA's who have to make some decisions. There will be no FO upgrades to the -200 world for 6 months per our favorite fat @ss in mgmt.... I guess I need to let it set in I will be an FO for a while dealing with CA's who can't figure out the new checklists.... READ THE FRIGGIN CFM!

I hope all of you are aware that "Barney" is the reason for the implosion in talks- that one is from someone who was there. The language from pref-bid that FF and the union worked out over a month ended up getting jacked up by barney trying to put all his own cr@p in. FF and CS were actually supportively talked about in the exchange (which was surprising) but Barney was the weight that sank the talks. It looks like there will be continued -900 vacancy spots... So I may commute over there even though I don't want to either as a senior FO and eventual CA. Money talks I guess...

How do you get Barney back into the cockpit? Grease the cockpit door frame and put a twinkie on the glareshield......

moral of story....at next round of negotiations, keep a revolving door of pizza delivery guys entering the room to keep barney distracted. Contract will come 2 days later.
