FDX-New Airport Stby World Record!

Wow, I guess they really don't want any bid line adjustments on 14 Dec or they are expecting 30% of the pm and am launches to twist an ankle on the crew stairs. Currently 19 airport stbys loaded into the systems for MD11 Mem FO. Wish I'd seen that before I finished my negotiating committee and climate surveys, I could have added that the list of scheduling tricks we could do without.

And for the operating crews wanting to catch a little shut-eye during the hub-turn...GOOD LUCK. My guess is people will be sleeping on the pool and air hockey tables.

That's assuming they fill them. Do they even intend on filling them?

"and we are out of sleep rooms"

How true. The new mgmt is so proud of how they handled the firs snow in MEM this year. Actual managers were in the hub. They would try to get you a room or recliner and "alert " you when your plane was ready.

Unfortunately these clueless desk jockeys did not #1 know when the airplanes would be loaded, #2 could not find a place for you to rest because the false sbys hat taken all the rooms #3 I think one snow flake did happen at about 2am it was 37C outside. #4 lack of rooms has been a problem for years tat MEM but mgmt cant fix this simple problem

But the real rub is that they trick the system one way (now) and the other way (4a2b) there were no sbys.

Just wrong and we know it. So tell me again why I shouldn't call in sick and tired when I am.

Whoever tells you not to call in sick or tired when you are should be reported to the FAA.

Geez, MEM is screwed up, I fully admit that. But to be able to have a snowflake appear and be seen by a vigiliant crewmember when it was 37C outside, the place must be even more special that I had ever been led to believe......

Just my opinion......
