I watched a couple of episodes of that. Liked it, but couldn't get into it since I was jumping in somewhere in season 2 or 3 (I think). I'll have to start from the beginning with it. FX's "Justified" is a good one as well...not in the same class as Breaking Bad, but still a pretty good show. The one on my must see list some day is "The Wire." I've heard it's a really good series to Netflix as well.

I don't know if I'd put it under tool of the day, but if it isn't, it's close.

I know the lounge chair area in the ATL crew room isn't a designated quiet zone, but it's obvious guys are trying to rack out for a while between flights. So with lots of other areas to hold a phone conversation down here I wonder what a guy's SA is when he holds a 15 min conversation at a loud talking level while he negotiates what he's willing to pay for hangar he's interested in buying. Come on, dude, look around...people are trying to sleep...the TV isn't even on and the only sound within 60' is you yammering on your phone. To emphasize the point, another guy next to him got a phone call and quickly answered it to silence the ringer, and then took the call as he stepped away from the area to hold his conversation.

............

This conversation will not end. Just sitting here watching the guy who took his call away from the area come back to his spot....he's reading his kindle while the other guy keeps yammering obnoxiously away...kindle guy keeps looking over to phone guy who appears to be developing a new friendship with a UPS pilot who's selling the hangar...."Do you know Joe? Blah, blah, blah..."

............
Finally, it ended after about 30 mins. Now let's see if he's surfing APC on that iPad...waiting for him to look over his left shoulder and catch me.

Sad to see what Delta has become..
"Don't like it here - go elsewhere". If you told this to any Delta employee for it's entire history until around 2005 people would think you are crazy..
Now you and T through statements like that without even thinking twice.

How about we try to stick together and improve this place?

$500 for the baby is nice, 77 hours for 20 days of work is not - face the truth, bro.

No kidding. WORST schedule I've ever had! Take everything I said I didn't want to do, everything I said I did want to do, and flip it.

Hey Baja, I'll trade you some lovely MCO layovers worth 10.3.

Instead of, "Let's try to make it better," the old "If you don't like it here, then leave." argument.

Nice.
