Power backs are nuthin'.

You want excitement? Wait til the Southwest guys get their first shot at the Victor Loop in ATL. I'm sayin' it can be done at 40 knots. Maybe 45. They're gonna need some of those NASCAR "soft walls" down there.

The difference is that these ATL controllers are our neighbors here in ATL. (We know where they live) It will take a lot more than pizza to buy off these guys.

No kidding and wait till they do it with a little ice.

Much like LGA; SWA cannot run it the way they want to unless they leave well after midnight.

They are going to love the taxi to and from 10/28 when they go to FL.

Off topic but does anyone know if you add a new spouse to your travel account if they get a full allottment at that time or they have to wait till your passes renew on your next anniversary date.

Thanks

If you have a marriage event you can add at any time. If you dropped one and are adding another you will need to wait until your pass allotment date. I would send the paperwork in, it just will not be effective until that date.

Same goes for Companion passes.

Hey Nu; Look like DAL got a 30 day DOT extension on HND. Bet they need jets to fly it

They will start on March 1 now. Gives us enough time to get some mod lines does and a few other things.

Darn dots
