Btw, ran into our Ord chief. He says we are moving out of L next year. Apparently AA is getting the gates and even building a RJ terminal next to L some where around the Alpha bridge. He speculates we're moving to G.
Yup, said the same to me. Also, ATL base opening soon..5-6 more gates and just hired 30 mx's for the ATL as well.

I can't think of a better Christmas present than the opening of a ATL base.

An ATL base would really cause quite a stir I believe, not only amongst Spirit, the shakeup will be pretty profound, but amongst Delta and SWA as well.

I would be curious to hear people's theories on Mr. Fornaro's relationship with Delta and whether this would influence the decision for an ATL base. It seems he's been less confrontational than Mr. Baldanza and I think would prefer to not antagonize the large legacy carriers.

Regardless, the rumors are flying fast and furious, I'm sure they'll only heat up as we get closer to September.

Who is Mr Fornaro and Mr Baldanza?

You mean Bobby "Vanilla Ice Cream Fornaro" and Basil Ben "BBB" Baldanza?

Also, for our super Captains who are working so hard trying the save the company money, don't get ****y with me in ORD when I key up and call 'unable' when told to line up and wait when you decided to save the company $40 on fuel by calling for engine #2 30 seconds from the runway. I won't be rushed running the Before Takeoff and will burn through whatever savings you made making sure my aircraft and myself are configured and ready to go.

Right on buddy. I am with you. F the cost index also. I fly with so many people here that are always in a huge rush to fly to the next destination. Take a min and look at your scheduled on time and adjust for that. Sitting on the ground in the 32R pad ****es me off as well as the pax.
I get handed aircraft on regular basis that some crew decided to carry a Mx item to the next station because they are in a rush to get home or company boys. Idk?

Well, geez! We gotta help Mr. Bendo over get his bonus, save the company money and do all we can for Mr Bob! They've shown such good will to us! That quid was awesome and I can't wait for the news after the August MEC meeting. I know they're gonna "hook us up" Aly giant style! So let's all keep flying on our days off for MUP, call ops for paperwork and fly broken AC!

PS. It costs a fortune to run that APU. I really enjoy sweating my b%*ls off at work!

Oh yeah, don't wear your green lanyard because your Iowa team is so great and you prefer to not be "ALL IN" and support your MEC and pilot group!
