Alpa has no problem setting up meetings in an airport. When I was at Skywest they did it all the time. Alpa rented a room near the Skywest pilot lounge in Salt Lake City. Every day there was food, drinks and plenty of union talk. Why can't we rent a room in ATL, DTW, MSP and have the meetings there? Heck, why not rent a room in MCO for all those Floridians???? We could call it a satellite meeting and have reps from multiple MEC's there.
I have suggested just that. I want to have the ATL meeting in one of the conference rooms at the ATL airport. Either the conference rooms on the second floor of the atrium, or another room that meets our needs.

What is the best computer (netbook, tablet) to take on the road that easily accesses Deltanet, Icrew, travelnet, PBS etc..I want simplicity and a keyboard, also light weight. Mainly just for that purpose. I've noticed the tablets have some keyboards now that are sold separately. Just curious what others are using?

MacBook Air and love it, less than a pound heavier than the Ipad, great battery life and no moving parts. do not know what operating system you are used to but it gets on all the Delta stuff that I need no sweat. Bought a refurb model off the Apple site so saved a little on the price. Good luck with your search.

Does the 330 do as good a job cost wise on EU routes that 7ER's can easily do as well?
I'm not saying a version of this rumor won't happen. I just don't see why it would happen. Unless, as it kind of appears, USAir is burning furniture to heat the house and we figure its going to be us that benefits rather than someone else.

I can't imagine we want the "routes" literally. CLT or PHL to EU with no feed? If its just the EU destination capacity on the other end, we are pulling our own down agressively. Maybe its to "trade" 330's for our 7ER's but wouldn't that increase capacity for us (even if kept neutral over the pond in total)?

On a brighter note, Jetblue is growing like crazy.

MD-90 Altitude Arm
One thing that wasn't in the MD-90 training CD: look out for the ALT ARM light mysteriously disappearing at the most inopportune moments. Saw the FO taking it out to warn him and he said they were notorious for that. Really?
