I was just on DLNet, all the Aug Capt.s are posted now. In the future, if you want to 'back door it', you have to click on another month, ie, for August, Aug won't be there yet, so you click on July wide reports, (or June or May), when that window opens, you go up to the headder bar, and in the address line, where it says JUL/jul you simply replace that with AUG/aug and hit enter.
If the bids are done but not yet posted, that will let you in, through the back door...not that there's anything wrong with coming in the back door, the dirt road, the Hershey Highway...
The last 6mo. or so they have been getting them run and posted much faster than say, two years ago. Now a days, they are all done and posted to DL Net, both seats, by the 14th. I'm sure Dec. and Jan will take longer, as everyone is trying to get off for Xmas and New Years Eve, so there is much more unstacking that needs to be done.
The real reason they are getting done much faster than say, 5 years ago, is because we are very much overstaffed in most catergories, so they have adequate reserve coverage for lots of stacked up open time. If/when that changes, (through attrition) I expect the runs will take longer than they do today, as the computer will have to work harder to assign all the open time without violating the ROE's and MU's.

But as Buzz said, they have updated DL Net so the AUG page is up now, so all you have to do is wait until they get the rest of the B's posted. The back door thing is only useful -before- they have loaded the next mo.'s page to DL Net.
What happens is, they keep running all the catagories until they are done, but they don't stop doing runs to post the completed ones. At the end of the day (which could be as late as 11pm sometimes) or if there is a break in the action, (lunch) or when all runs are complete, they'll take the time to update them to the DL Net.
They don't like to stop checking and doing runs, just to post the ones that are completed. That's why you will see a whole bunch of them show up all at once, not one at a time, usually after their lunch break, or at the end of the day.
I'm sure they are doing eveything they can to get them all done tonight, so they won't have to get up and do more runs tomorrow morning.

Walked out of the theater after 3 hours and said "***,O"? Took a lot of after-show processing to make any heads or tails of it.

lost luggage story
My wife flew to VPS Tuesday on a rev ticket. Checked her bag which got lost. She called & picked it up the next day. No big deal. Then tonight the bag delivery guy calls says he has my wife's bag. I tell him she picked it up from the airport Wed morning. He delivers the bag to her has her open it because it's tagged with her name & claim check number. The bag guy is trying to find out who the bag belongs to. This is the OMG part. She opens the bag & it's full of classified documents stamped SECRET. What kind of a dumb@$$ checks classified?

I saw it. Twice, in fact. Great layover movie - granted, it's not an Academy Award winner, but I liked the premise behind the plot, and the computer graphic stuff was great.
As an added bonus, I picked up a great line for my initial briefing to my f/o's:
"I'm not here to make friends. I'm here to make money. You got that, mate?"
So far, kind of a lukewarm reception on that one.
