With 100 slots, probably a 2001 or a 2007 hire.

The 16th for the AE bid sounds about right to me. 14 days to close because they said more time was to be given on this one......wait a day and half to post and, voila, it's Jan 1.

I am not a betting man, but my guess would be the results would be out on the 4th. Allows for a Thursday start for tng in feb.

What if GUM is already a done deal and they are waiting to release the details as they put out the AE!!! And to top that, they are going to operate a daily crew shuttle there so we wont have to move. All slot will be filled with inverse seniority.

Sorry....sometimes I sleep type.

Has anyone actually heard GUM from management, or is this just an APC thing?

Yes, we need to pull back in Atlanta. Atlanta is too congested and we no longer offer a consistent and reputiable product because of it. Enter exhibit A which is hot off the press.

Atlanta Metro News*| ajc.com

I hear all the time from friends and family that they dread going through Atlanta. Even people in my reserve unit complain when they get a goverment ticket connecting through Atlanta.

The councourses are very small and cramped. The workers there, and I'm from the South, have lost that southern hospitality. I've heard and witness gate agents say words to passengers such as "Oh well" and the ever so enflaming "what-ever".

Only in Atlanta do I see people who are connecting running to their next gate. And I see it everytime I'm there. Then throw in 4 gate changes (that's my personal record), and you quickly start to see how we are ****ing off our customers.

We can offer a better product. The on-board timing through ACARs was a start in the right direction, but it is going to take much more than that.

To quote a public source, our Director of Crew resources stated that they were looking at a base there in the crew room visit about a month ago.

Guess what DTW is your answer, and it is a great backup to ATL, without the O and D issues. Great airport in a crappy city.
