Jesse, try opening up the ATL88A and substituting a B in the Wide Report. Worked great.

Actually, just noticed a huge disconnect between my schedule and the reasons report. They don't jive at all. Hmmmm. Maybe backdooring it this time isn't a good idea.

Is this the benefit of a 4.5 hour day except for ...

Nov 1st if he's doing Hawaii. He would do 6 instead of 7 for the month.

Nice.

No, it sounds like he loves it over there. If so, GO.

Now you and T through statements like thUat 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.

That's not exactly true. Most of those have early morning arrivals or late night departures, so even though you technically work a day, you have most of it off. Not great, but it's not really 20 full days. If you don't like it, bid the bus in SLC and get commutable lines. It might give you a better QOL.

Bill, all I can figure you for is a desk jockey of sorts... the kind that doesn't care what the plan is because you get yours by giving them ours.

Seven grand out of pocket is ridiculous.

Nice.

You make it yesterday? We finally got a new airplane and left at 1715. Got towed into Gate 28 @ 1945!

Made it home though. Oh, & in the descent into JFK we got a RHPSOV caution message. We laughed so hard I was almost crying. It went out once the engines spooled back up, but I found it ironic.

I like this statement much better.

From what I see at work, the people here are great to work with and seem to genuinely care about each other. So, I have to consider Bill and comments like his to be an exception to the rule.

$4000 is a lot of money to pay for having a kid, and the bills just keep coming after that. (Does it ever end?) I hope we can fix that part of the insurance plan in the future.
