I've got a couple weeks off so no conflict. I found the problem...I had a qualifier that prevented them from calling me when that trip (conflict) was awarded, oh well!!
ALPA and the company put out a "joint" email asking for anyone that can to please volunteer for white and green slips
. Funny, I've had an open green slip in going on 3 days with no calls

Ya know, DAL has imploded because of this weather. I wonder if the technique of GS to staff will work now that we are so large.
Can you imagine what would've have happened to DAL had we NOT cut capacity by 20%?

What I find interesting is that, after a cursory look at all seats and bases, there is not a lot of open time for tomorrow. 23K really took the bite out of a lot of it. What will probably nip us, is the inability of those with trips to commute in for them. I can see that being the biggest issue for the next week to ten days as we move people that have been stuck here or there, or never even left their origination point. I keep expecting a reroute but I have not seen any yet.

Delta has too many eggs in one basket (Atlanta), and they know it and have admitted it. We need to diversify our hubs and our union I think should be pushing for this. We have MEM and CVG in idle when they could relieve the pressure off Atlanta. So when Atlanta goes down, the effects are reduced throughout the system.
