Heyas guys,
You are all making this crew meal thing harder than it has to be,
No food? Train stops. Go eat. Come back. Fly. Write up ASAP (Hint: Feds read these).
Problem fixed. Same with Call in Honest. One or two weather events, and they'll be begging to fix the problem.
Man up, grow a pair and use some of that "big bubble" crap I keep hearing about.

If memory serves (!), there were something like 11 MILLION draftees during WWII. While I'm certainly not denigrating their service AT ALL, I think it adds some much needed perspective to "the Greatest Generation."
Personally, I think the all-volunteer force RIGHT NOW (and for the past decade) is truly the GREATEST GENERATION.
These men and women are signing up knowing they'll likely go into harms way, and no one is compelling them in the least. That's truly "nut-up-or-shut-up" patriotism in action.

From what I understand, the collective response and resolve of ALL Americans was something that we have never seen before or after WWII.
That's all I was sayin'

Well, I've seen a couple of schools of thought on this:
Some guys won't touch ANYTHING that came from the galley.
Other guys simply eat what was given to them.
Yet other guys visually verify the crew meals prior to departure, INCLUDING the contents and INFORM the FAs when the pilot meals are to be served.
Takes all kinds.

Anyone else been having problems with kamikaze ACS drivers on the ramp in between terminals in Atlanta? I pushed back from A19 and cleared the road, started engines, turned on the taxi light and was bringing the power up (767-300) when a total of about 10 vehicles going in both directions decided they had the right of way. I filed an ASAP. Don't know if it will do much good but this has got to stop!!!

Trying to connect some dots here:
If the DAL pilot hiring website is now accepting apps (though still not "reviewing" any)
AND
From the Compass Updates Thread on the regional side: 2 classes in Dec. and more in January
AND
Cpz pilots get the first 20 slots in DAL newhire classes (with the 20% rolling max limitation)
AND
S. Dickson talking about 7% higher block hours for summer 2010 than previously forecast
AND
No reduction of MSP 320 flying even with SLC/MSP 320-M90swap.
Any guess what Arnie Kraby & co. will be doing soon?

I almost hate to ask this question, because I'm not sure I want to hear the answer....... If we list for a non-rev seat on a a DCI carrier, what is our priority? Isn't something like a S-3B? Does this work only for Comair, ASA and Skywest? I'm really looking at all my options getting into JFK. Can we even get on any of the other carriers that Delta subcontracts with into JFK? e.i., Pinnacle, FreedomAir, Shuttle America, etc.
First time I had even heard of an S-3B was down at VPS, (Eglin AFB) when there were 9 pilots waiting to get on a 50 seat aircraft..... I just drove to ATL.
