We Atlanta reserve folks now, sigh, shave every day.

Well, not every day. Sometimes after 6 short calls and leaving the house at 3am or getting back to the house at 3am, you look like...

I only sat 2 short calls last month... because those were the only 2 days that I could sit short call!

I set my record for whitlow lookback, too.... went on short call at 0430 and blocked in from my dhd at 0005 the next day!

I'm looking forward to a chance to grow the rsv beard again.

I think I was on 3 weeks when we met. Those were the days!

My new guitar will need your blessing prior to wielding it.

I just prefer to assume that they want me.

newK doesn't have to assume that, though.

Units correct. After I answered this, I went to our Non-Rev site and did a little research.

Policy was updated April 25, 2012.

Its effectively states that we may carry a pet as a pass rider for NO fee, but in lieu of a carry on bag. Pets are boarded on a "stand-by" basis and will be accommodated if the max allowable number of cabin pets is not reached.

Other than that, it requests that you check in with an agent so the pet can be noted.

Pets as baggage and cargo still have to pay the pet fee.

I apologize for the misinformation. We flew a few months ago and were charged the 150 dollar fee.

I did 05:30 to 7:40 for 26 hours 10 on duty, on a flying leg. Then the Hotel had no rooms (no kidding). Called ALPA and they said the "record" was over 30 on a ATL >> NYC >> SNN or Heathrow trip. I know it is "legal" but I'm not sure how we'd ever justify it on Monday morning.

How to understand reserve pilot utilization:

Steve Carell, The Office look, pilot flying all of the time and shaving all of the time:



Steve Carell, The Frustrated Look, pilot needs to work just to keep current but really hopes they don't call:



Steve Carell, Lost, the pilot has forgotten everything and doesn't know why they keep getting money deposited in their checking account:



Currently, ATL M88 B has everyone at Steve Carell A
