That would be a good start. We also have to work on the 12/24 hour SC, as well as the ability to plan when we are put on SC. I like the idea of being flexible and dynamic, but lately the scheduling sounds more and more like the outsourced CAL dude....

A huge sinkhole in Guatemala City (map), Guatemala, crashed into being on Sunday, reportedly swallowing a three-story building—and echoing a similar, 2007 sinkhole in Guatemala.
The 2010 Guatemala sinkhole has likely been weeks or even years in the making—floodwaters from tropical storm Agatha caused the sinkhole to finally collapse, scientists say.
The sinkhole appears to be about 60 feet (18 meters) wide and about 30 stories deep, said James Currens, a hydrogeologist at the University of Kentucky.

I know of no full "blow by blow" write-ups. All the LCP/AQFOs on here used discretion in their write-ups and did not put down any of the more sensitive info that was disseminated.
That was my point.

Very good point!
I'm going to add this point, though. I think a lot of our performance issues may have to do with how the rampers are managed also. I don't think increasing pay alone is the answer. SWA rampers start at about $10 to $11 per hour which is about what our rampers make. Yet, they bust their butts to get the planes out. A place like JFK, maybe the rampers don't care because they don't feel like they have a vested interest in the company. They probably run the ramp understaffed as it is. I'm not sure what the answer is because I don't work on the ramp, but I think just increasing salaries alone is not the answer and probably won't fix the problem. I think Richard Anderson should be on the show "Undercover Boss." Maybe he could figure out the answer!

Frank;
I do not think we will see DAL transporting the ppl of CVG. They are the glue that makes it work. Awesome work force.
