There would be a lot of unhappy people in Dallas. Most pretty senior.

Even some CPs commute.

What about the FA me too clause? Maybe they should be forced to live in base too. They need to be rested to perform emergency duties.

It's time to get some "me too" from our FA about satellite basing, aka "Alternate Flying Program". I know for us it'a lot more complex, but we gotta start someplace.

commuter from IAH

Sorry to break discussion, but can some of you IAH commuters tell me where you park??? Have to turn in my XJT badge and am trying to figure out where the best place to park is for my jaunts to and from training. Thanks in advance!!!

These numbers are the best info available to someone (coming off of furlough bypass) I know that did in fact get up and walk out at ATL.

dude, you can't drop something like that on the board without at least attempting to explain it.

SWA also let's pilots trade partial rotations. So my buds that live out of base just drop a leg or two on the front/back and try to fly trips that start/end at home(non-domicile). Someone else wants those leg/legs to get paid to get home somewhere else.

Scheds can break up rotations ......why can't we?

As I said, an uninterrupted chain of events. There are also several other human factors on the Captain side that I believe play a huge role in this accident.

This is me giving you a real ugly look, setting my beer quietly on the bar and walking away.
