Did anyone make any phone calls to figure out why the raw scores dropped? I'm curious.

I ain't calling scheduling. I'm on short call right now.

When a guy does this to a girl, it's called letting her down easy. We put out - signed that TA for them. Now we are wondering whether they really love us, or were they just saying that late at night in the back of the car? Our mommas always told us, why buy the cow when you can buy all the milk in Alaska, France, and the Netherlands for free (or something like that). We might get mad at them now for taking advantage of us. They're not worried, though. They'll see us again in about three years, tell us how beautiful we look, and we'll forget all about this time.
Haha, spot on! And yes many in this pilot group will forget and repeat. It's just the way it is.

I got a green slip. Instead of raising my raw score, they dropped everyone else's.

Does that mean 22 leg 5 day trips on the 717? With air conditioning, probably doesn't even seem like work. Still.

Yeah, I'll stick with the mighty mad dog over the schnauzer. If it's anything like the 9 that's way too much work.

I think we'll be lucky if new hires come on next fall. Good thing we raised the ALV? Oh well, this group of pilots is very ambitious, apparently 68% of our pilot group wants to work more.

Quick question: I am currently on long term mil leave but have an opportunity to attend the R&I Seminar in Seattle. Are these seminars worth attending?

I think they are. I attended one as a new hire and learned some stuff about the contract that I didn't know. There is a LOT of dry stuff there, but if you aren't doing anything more important, I think it is worth your while.

Default ATL Question ...

Stupid question, how many takeoffs and landings does Delta & Delta Connection do each day in ATL? Bonus points if you can also tell me what the max takeoffs landings per hour would be.

To those that respond, thanks for the help.
