Yes - or via the computer using eCrew at the airport. (at the airport, there is a "Sign In" link on the left after you login. Click there - you can print your rotation, flight plan, see if the other guy has checked in).

Carl, how many Green book guys agree with you? How many law suits and grievances were filed?

Now when it comes to a Delta/Alaska merger SLI, I will be there right next to you fighting for 100 year fences, but don't blow sunshine up people's skirts.

I would not get to excited. Looks like no hat tricks for 2007 guys on the bid.

A SLI with AS without tall fences will crush the bottom third of the Delta list, both North and South. I think they stopped hiring in 2006. The have people on furlough. It has the potential to be an AW/US situation.

So while we may disagree on somethings, I'll be right next to you manning the wall. (insert obligatory Tom Cruise/Jack Nicholson quote here)
