New rumor...........LLC is parted out. We take the old AmWest side and open a Phoenix 7ER base. Good news I get to drive to work, the bad news is I'll probably only have one year till retirement by then
Ya'all remember how well my DFW dreams worked out. Now that I've moved I'm sure they will ramp up DFW!!

I just cannot see any airline that is out there wanting to deal with a CLT base. It does not work for any other airlines route structure.

If the person is hired to do a job that pays $5 or $20 an hr they should do the job they were hired for, no more no less!! If they don't do the job they should be fired and hire someone that will.
It really is that simple, so don't anyone try and justify keeping poor workers on the payroll please!

As I know you are aware of, given the certain compensation level in question, and the opportunity of advancement, you will eliminate certain candidates, and other will not even apply. It is a narrow field in cities like NYC et al that you are drawing from.

Sorry, but with unemployment where it is, there should be no lack of applicants. We can't pay workers in NYC what we pay in ATL but if they're not performing, there is a lack of leadership from management. This goes for the do nothing gate agents in ATL as well. MGMT needs to get out from behind their desks and supervise and if that means some terminations on the spot for violations, then so be it.

I worked ramp for 5 years and know first hand what it entails. I worked with people that were motivated to get the job done. We were short plenty of times but managed. Does DAL run a lean machine on the ramp? Absolutely and that could change to help things out, but it doesn't change the simple fact that you hire people that are willing and able to do the job they are hired to do.
There are good guys and gals working the ramp in many stations through out the system, no doubt. It is the few lazy sour apples that drag the rest down. These are the ones that we need to let go, and hire as I said above.

Have you seen Iron Man 2 yet? Just wondering if it was as good as the first one. I'm asking just because of the avatar.

I dont really care about Up 2, but I didn't want to leave you out.
So Ferd back to NRT are you seeing a difference in the NRT op beside the loss of deadheading priviledges? More crews in planning or at the hotel? Has it ramped up in the last couple months?

Back from the NRT Sports Bar............so this will be short but incoherent
If I'd a gotten lucky, you would have heard noth'en at allThere are a ton of strange and unusual accents at the good o'lRaddisson. Like I said, a lot more jets sitting in the holding pens than I've noted before. Spares? We've had to laugh, the bus going downtown Narita has been full. Were all so jaded that it aint us.
Seriously, there honestly seems to be an uptick and melding of the minds here. But, our senior babes must have talked to your senior babes.........the Sports Bar is still mostly just us guys
Ferd <------just me and APC tonight
PS Seeing Ironman 2 this break!!
