Did it say anything about fuel? Apparently the pipeline to the airport, I think it comes from CRP, was shut off at some point. I would assume any flights into IAH are tankering fuel.

Nothing about fuel on this update, though I remember that from a prior one.

Talked about getting uniforms if you don't have one, crew meal potential issues, positive space booking on extra sections from ORD, and dedicated contact points for IAH pilots who CAN work. They did stress that if you need to take care of family or property do NOT come to work.

Flights will be fueled for the round trip out of IAH. I.E. Don't burn the dudes fuel that is taking your plane out of IAH.

I saw at least two bulletins that said fuel was available (and had checked OK; ie, no contaminants), but they are indeed tankering fuel.

All ops (and TSA) will initially be in the E terminal.


I take it you offend easily?
No, he is one of the more astute observers and posters within this forum. He points out the obvious controversial attitude you advertise.

This makes no sense at all!!!

If I or any other Captain needs to burn the fuel into IAH for some reason then so be it.

Sheesh.

I never implied that. If you need it, then by all means use it. Some however, are a little more aggressive than others.

My screen name is controversial? I have probably less than 30 posts and all my posts are benign. So not sure where you're getting controversial. My screen name is very ambiguous at best so the fact that you, or anyone else, thinks it's referring to themselves specifically and/or are suggesting I'm controversial based on it tells me therapy dogs and safe spaces are in order for some here. Have good day!!

I'm with you...I considered the name ******* you , but reconsidered since I probably wouldn't do that in a face to face discussion.....

Have good day...!!

I got a 3 hour sit tomorrow in Iah. What can I expect? Is the Amex centurion lounge open?
