Went flying in a DA40 (light 4 seater prop) today out of LZU airport near atlanta.
My teeth are still chattering! I did get the ground speed down to 25 knots doing stalls, haha. Not a record, but that airplane has a higher stall speed than some others.

9's will flow through atl. no mention of a base. had a graph showing increase and decrease of the types of flying in each base. a post was is my way. did see mem stays the same. 90's helping to offset the loss of 9's. dtw and msp see loss of 9's.

official cutover jan. 31st...actually has already been done last weekend and all worked well.
as early as mid april a north pilot could get rerouted to fly a 767..(not scheduled)
approx. may 1 vacate marine air terminal, expect government approval in a couple weeks
5.7% higher pilot block hours this summer compared to 2009
maybe by mid-march sims will get jepp shipsets....no more carrying jepps to sim. this is practice for whole airline getting them...eventually
more peacetime CRAF flying
a330 sim could be in service by march
500 million planned synergy was the plan for last year, actually reached 800 million with merger so far...good for us
for all you RJ haters....50 more 50 seaters gone this year.
started this year with 5.3 billion, expect 5.7 by end up summer and end year with 5.4
This sucks and I quote, "CVG downsized by QUITE A BIT" .....but to backpedal....it will remain a hub.
Memphis will stay the same as it is....makes a good pressure relief valve for ATL
Cvg doesn't work as good for DTW as MEM does for ATL. DTW has room for growth making cvg less necessary.
ATL is pretty full so growth will come from upgaging equipment. i.e. RJ's replaced by dc-9's to carry more peeps into atl
SEA will see growth....ER
Nothing said on dfw
next bid may or early june. not a clean up bid, just another of many bids to come
staffing looks good
50 dc9 crews will be displaced on the next bid....look for fall for these to take affect when the 30's & 40's go away
training ramps down for summer to have all hands on deck then picks up again in fall
sandwhiches were from jason's deli.....very yummy....lots more was said but thats all my brain can remember and now its time for a cocktail.

I think the funny thing about ga flying is seemingly all the runways are 75' wide. Fine for a skyhawk but trying to turn off on to a taxiway with a bigger machine is sucky. Especially lzu.
