A "fleeting opportunity" to update the "fleet." Pun intended?

I vaguely remember a communication from DALPA about another way to verify a sick call. It had to do with a call in clinic that cost $25, I think. You called this place and discussed your symptoms with someone and could get some sort of a note that could be used to verify a sick occurrence. I think it is meant for occasions when your Dr is not available.

Anyone else remember this? I am looking for contact info for this place. Am I remembering this right, or do I need to take my meds again?

Hard to get a better plug for the PAC.
He is a great supporter of ALPA issues. I have had the opportunity to meet with him a few times, and it is always an enjoyable experience. He makes time for ALPA and our issues.

Yep. And the plug and 2 above the plug also got off on Thanksgiving. Boy times sure have changed since I was the plug in LAX in 2000.

That's firing a very distant synapse but I can't remember when or where.

Am I the only one that thinks the 5:15 average day is a HUGE hit to QOL? I'm away from home more days in Nov than any month in the last 2 years and less money in my pocket due to buying hotel rooms. Commute-able trips seem to have almost vanished in ATL M88 category.

How many day trips do you bid and what days? I usually bid 4 day commutable trips starting on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday and they seem the same.

All that glitters is not gold.
