I've had one late flight out of the last six.
Last night we were early, only to sit waiting for the gate to be ready for quite a long time.

It's brilliant! I'm really enjoying myself. Commuting sucks, but I've got a sweet crash pad, I love Ft. Lauderdale and the Airbus is awesome. Everyone I've come across at Spirit has been fantastic, extremely helpful and very welcoming.

There's no sitting scheduling, training, tactics or writing reports when I'm not flying. I don't have to go in for early Friday morning Fun Runs, there are no Commander's Calls, no gas masks, exercises, or PT tests. It really is fantastic.

I'm not bottom man on the totem pole, but I can see him, we need to hire more people.

I remember last time they were negotiating the company trained a bunch of schedulers and such to work in dispatch. Would have almost been worth the dispatchers going on strike just to watch the ensuing comedy.
came across the dates in the 10k:

ALPA/Pilots August 2015
AFA-CWA/FA August 2007
TWU/Dispatcher July 2012

I don't know. But I was just told by a TSA supervisor in FLL, that FLL is not getting KCM. At least DFW and ORD has it. How about LAS in our terminal? I won't even ask ACY.... ohhh edit lol... almost forgot DTW. DTW has it too right?

I thought that they had KCM at one of the terminals in FLL already. And during the All-Pilot's Call, they had specifically mentioned KCM at FLL.

I sure hope the TSAnguy is wrong.

Actually, they specifically mentioned Miami. They never said FLL.
