It reminds me of that commercial where the Internet talks to that guy and says "you have reached the end of the Internet, you have seen everything, thank you good bye." his wife stands in the background as he sits there perplexed, but she should have been screaming "you pervert!!!"

Anyone have info on why flight 1236 to PNS aborted its takeoff (for the second time on that flight) yesterday? Heard from a friend that the explanation from the crew was that it pertained to the numbers the crew had regarding the passengers. Find it strange that this was determined after they were rolling at somewhere around 40kts.
I'm guessing that's what was happening and I'd go medieval on PNS ops if that was the case and they just kept sending updates after updates.
I don't think Jesse's pic was bad and he had a funny line to it but it just needed more airline related material such as a: "you fly the 737-900? Well, in that case, let me tie this back up..."
But I get your point and some of have really been over the top and just millimeters from being straight porn and not to mention pointless because sometimes you can work a pic into a discussion and it be funny but just to repost a pic like we need pin ups is excessive and not amusing.
Aim to tease not to please as the Glee cheerleaders say.
But to balance it all out between sexy and not sexy, I present...

Huh, never thought, "if we get an ACARS message updating the seat count below 80 knots..."

I kind of agree. I like posting Auburn cheerleading pics but I'm an Auburn homer.

Who are the 717's being leased from? Is it Boeing or some 3rd party? If it's Boeing, I can see where they -might- take them back, as a down payment on lots of new 737's. If it's a 3rd party, well, they would have to find a replacement lessor, right? And for about the same rate, or lose money on the deal.
Anyways, here is the thing. 20 717s "disappeared" from the sale or lease section of Boeing.com right as the rumor hit legit news sources that we were ordering 100 739s.
Who Took The 717's Boeing Was Offering? — Civil Aviation Forum | Airliners.net
Thus bolstering, not starting but bolstering rumors (from a year before when SWA announced FL merger), of 717s to DAL. If rumor is true it could be as much of 106 717s. Further bolstering the rumor is SWA's "we don't want 717s anymore but we'll keep them if we can't get rid of them" headlines - which sounds like negotiating in public a bit.

While there are many areas of my work life that need to be improved,and I've never hesitated to point out what I believe needs to be fixed, I've got to take this opportunity to give my employer a thumbs up.
My grandfather passed earlier this week. Without going into all the details, everyone I talked to from management was so unbelievably warm, and helpful and their condolences were so sincere, I was slightly taken aback.
While we do have a lot of work to do and a lot of improvements to make, there are a lot of great people who work here, which makes this a great place to be. I'll leave it at that.

Now when I hear people talk about how the company can careless, I try to share my story but it is not appropriate in all cases. The anonymous machine in ATL my seem lacking at times but the people on the other end are good and do care and if they needed my help I would do whatever I could to help.
