Subway to Penn Station and bus to EWR. Altogether, it was about $20. Plus, telling scheduling it'll take me 4 hours to report. There's no way I was paying $100 to get to EWR. "Promptly available" to me was NOT spending that kind of money to show for a trip.

Yeah - No kidding. A few months ago I complained that our bid package was the worst I had even seen at DAL. Well we have a new winner the November DAL 737 Bid package:
58 rotations without red-eye flights.
74 rotations that include red-eye flights.
And for the piece de resistance - 45 four day rotations that include red-eyes and pay between 17 and 21 hours!!!
35% of our rotations are four day trips with red-eyes that pay less than 21 hours!!!!
Thanks to our great duty period average contract.
The ALPA guys keep saying that "in total" the Alaska code share is good for the Delta Pilots. Although I am doubtful of that comment, it is pretty clear the LAX guys are being disproportionately impacted by the Alaska agreement.

It will never match what Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (representative of the district including the Johnson Space Center) asked at a hearing. When NASA reps were there testifying and showing video of one of the Mars rovers, Ms Lee asked: "Can we drive that thing over to where Neil Armstrong landed?"
That'd be one hell of a drive...

Behold a revelation of the righteous Dude, given by ACL65 to the angels newly hired. After the 11th month, it is prophesied a large number of pilots following an east star up I-20 towards the New City, Atlanta, forcing from their midst natives who await selection amongst the favored few to commute to a metropolis containing a large park in its midst. These unfortunates, beholden to duty in a Garden State where no gardens exist, surely lament assignment before the dawn.
