so we had some good internal people to talk too that were very receptive considering the delay this puts on our flights.
So I am on a rampage, everytime I go in there from here on out I am going to pepper them with "hey, we'll be pushing at 2125 and be ready to go by 2135, can you coordinate to get our release for 2135 LIKE THEY DO IN PNS AND JAX among others."
It could me a ZEM thing, don't know, either way, it caused someone who is very laid back to come unglued. Me.
FTB, came unglued. Very rare. Its actually a non-event, kind of like an engine shutdown on an Avro, you might not know it happened because you're not really going that fast to begin with.
Funny I've been getting BNA lots recently, actually heading there today. Will try to get an early/expedited release to avoid the delay....Originally Posted by forgot to bid
Next time any of you guys are in BNA and going to ATL, please note they will not allow you to call ahead and try to get a release coordinated with Atlanta in advance to prevent a wait. We called 3 times, rejected all 3. They said they would call when they saw us taxing, which they did, we incurred a 45 minute wait, landed very late. We questioned them, they were ready for a fight and gave one over ground, we got lectured on the fact that airports close to ATL have delays- everyday. Odd, I guess we wouldn't know about that since our job is to fly to all of those close in airports. Anyways, we just asked for a phone number but Dispatch gave us some better numbers so we had some good internal people to talk too that were very receptive considering the delay this puts on our flights.
