Honest Answers:

Way better than we were in the Fall of 2008/Winter of 2009.

I feel way better.

Can't wait new. I'm looking for you. Plus, we got lots of Bears v. Packers stuff to unpack. If you see a 73, come find me. I'm in NYC a lot more than I want to be.

It's hard to ever buy the first round with newK... if you try, he's already jedi mind tricked them and you can't!

Kudos to all for keeping the political stuff low key and not biting off on the couple of out of terms of service posts (none of which had to be deleted because no one got out of hand- we DL mods try to keep things like that on this thread since most people behave and self correct).

It's time to move on and here's to a prosperous airline!

As Bainite pointed out... I'm not thrilled with the crew resources direction given for the "big" bid in jan/feb. Sounds like more widebody to narrowbody movement- particularly in mecca. It's frustrating seeing this, particularly after such a rush job on the TA. But, like the election, it's what we have to live with now no matter how you voted.

We were in Georgia when I got the round. Aren't Jedi mind tricks called sweet talkin' there?

I will move on, here's to a prosperous airline.

No one down south wants to see what happens when newK says "bless your heart" to someone. The last time that happened, Atlanta burned in the civil war.

So, I got rerouted into a domicile layover (for a rsv taken off the trip and the balance offered up again) tonight due to an LGA cx, and then promptly got assigned the rest of the trip since no other rsv could cover it. I hope the CA likes me. I used my sexy voice most of the evening so I'm assuming so.

It was funny with the new checklist today- "cabin notification- ok your response is going to be...." I absolutely love the new formatting, though. The checklist is finally no longer frankenstein and is an efficient machine. I'm still not a fan of having "as req" on any line on the checklist (rather than the options that the NW checklists had), but this is very much a good move in the right direction.

I'm one of the test subjects on the automatic performance upload on fifi. It saves somewhere around 30 keystrokes. Coming to a fleet near you!
