thanks. thanks a lot.

I'm shocked at some of the responses. How does a professional airline pilot not know flight plan alternates are for dispatch purposes? Do folks really think they are diverting to MCO or JAX on those days with really storms forecast in ATL?

BHM, CHA, HSV, etc… can fill up fast in a divert scenario. It’d be wise to keep the fuel for the planned alternate when ATL has storms rolling in. Just my opinion.

If you accept a poor alternate choice that’s on you. The purpose of dispatch is to satisfy the crew’s safety concerns, not pencil whip for the FAA and Delta’s accountants.

That's an interesting statement. Care to expound?

Why be a CA when you can be a senior 765 FO and credit 1020?

why be a senior 765 FO when you can be a SEA330A crediting ~700?

The amount of PCS runs and PB days usage must have been cray cray!
