Good Luck to photog72 and Happy Birthday to J.Edward!!

It's been a few days, did I miss anything?

Good Morning Box. Last day of my two weeks in CLT. I don't often say this, but it will be nice to go home. And of course, looking forward to meeting a bunch of folks next weekend at the Footie DO!

Seems like the United pilot community is almost as over-entitled as their passengers. Funny things you've heard on ATC came up in the thread, and one pilot says that when WN announced entry into DEN, they said they would be a "minor player". Then goes on to complain that WN has 30% of the departures now. Ummmm, that would be UA's fault for placing itself in a position to be unable to defend its hub. @:-) United is not promised a commanding market share solely because it's United...you do indeed have to work to stay at the top once you get there.

Then the other frequent-post pilot says that WN supposedly has an "ATC Committee" that brings goodies to tower personnel, which is why they get preferential ATC handling. That would be simple creativity and willingness to spend a little to save a lot...a concept with which UA is unfamiliar.

Mechanics appear to finally be done. It is 530pm Friday SYD time. A couple more hours and I'll be going to sleep at a "normal" local time. :eek:

Hoping you get there soon! Can you stay longer if you can convence an agent to push back your departure?

Overheard my new supervisor telling another dept. head that the people calling in sick ought to just suck it up and come in and get some work done.

Then new supervisor, who's off til next Wednesday, complains that the last time he had some time off he spent it getting over a cold because he caught the bug from folks in the other supervisor's department.

:rolleyes:

New Supervisor = Fail!!

[QUOTE=FT Lurker;14075093]Yesterday was a not-so-fun afternoon at a trade show, followed by a fun evening with Boxers.QUOTE]

Was that ever in doubt?

Is there a question here? (Remind her that it will help her get status, although you do have at least one US flight in there!)

That's because, say it with me, UA IS THE WORST MAJOR AIRLINE IN THE US next to DL.

My Blackberry just spontaneously rebooted. I suppose that's not a horrible thing since the BBBox was starting to hose up pretty badly.

No, it is just built in code. Whenever you mock me, it will reboot automatically. ;):D
