So... is ATL running at 100% today?

It would be perfect if a flight out of LAX forgot the gluten free meal choice and had broken IFEs and no diet drinks and the protests were so loud that it caused an earthquake, starting fires and killing 100s of people and then PR Weezer could use it to make a snarky remark about DYKWIAs? I am just thinking out loud here.... There's gotta be something better, but I am on a deadline for a piece for the Oinion and I am putting all I have into it... Cheers?

This thread definitely has potential. Trying to figure out the Dixie Carter reference.

I have been kidnapped by Leprechauns, apparently they know who I am.

Sex is hereditary. If your parents never had it..............there is a good chance you won't either.

Or at least a seat assignment and boarding priority question.

Is she related to John Carter of Mars? That could certainly lead to quite a fiery story as the couple tries to clear security at ATL.

I was on the train heading east. There was a delay when departing from D. Of course 5 seconds after I chose to get off and walk to E, the train was closing for departure. The delay overall was about 90 seconds. Just wanted to pass that along.

Worth noting that the same company that makes the train cars (Bombardier) is also responsible for bringing the CRJ family to the world. Coincidence? :D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlanta...rt#Other_notes
so what do they call DL at other airports?

"Delta"

It's only different in ATL. It'd be "Delta" overload if a controller said "Delta (the airline) XZY, taxi via Delta (the taxiway) to the ramp" or something like that. Just a safeguard used to prevent reduce the likelihood of some confusion
