Exactly.

I often ask fellow crew-members 'if you could live anywhere in the lower 48, and money and commute weren't the deciding factors, where would you live?' 100% of the New Yorkers said New York. People raised in Cincinnati/southwest Ohio don't mind the area at all, but the people from somewhere else generally don't like it. A common complaint is the conservative politics, and the lack of "things to do."

I would like to say that the jury is still out on DTW, but the feeling I get is that everyone thinks that it (DTW) is just temporary. There is a kind of bus stop mentality, that we are just here until we close, or until LGA or BOS or some other base opens up.

As for me, I am originally from Dayton and ate Onassis Chili after late nights of consuming massive quantities of 3.2% beer. Yeah, I'm a dork. If I could live anywhere in the lower 48 it would be either Santa Barbara or Monterey, California.

Does anyone know why there is a "special" MEC meeting Tuesday, or why some of it will be held in a closed session?

They are trying to figure out how much money they got left to blow from the merger fund without letting the pilots know.

LOL! I wasn't even based in CVG. I moved there because I was dating someone from the area.
I actually kept a small notebook and kept track of the weather when I was off work, and 90% of the time it was either raining, snowing, freezing rain, ice pellets, foggy.... Every weather system seems to go through there on the way to somewhere else! Search Cincinnati and I think it shows only 80 something days of sunshine a year. And the airport has the nerve to have that sign in the train tunnel that says "Cincinnati, where the sun is always shining"!

After a night of drinking, nothing beats Waffle House hashbrowns "covered and capped" :-)

We can all have at CVG expense but it looks like the rest of the good OL USA agrees

The three days off you had at Comair aren't enough to draw a relevant statistical conclusion.

Check todays email from ALPA or call your union rep, you might get more accurate information
