Some E-gates for AirTran

[Citrus531]

FYI for AirTran guys:

Just got the word that starting this month(October) we'll start using up to 3 E-gates in ATL after 2000L each night for terminating flights. We're trying to get them for turns as well but cust service and ramp was just made aware so manpower can be switched around. The airport said we could possibly have 4 gates during IROP nights.

Any gate helps......so if you hear "echo" on the inrange you know why....:laugh:

For us that's every night.

Is an E-gate one that you pull your Microsoft FlightSim airplane up to?

Oh boy, I can't wait to land from LVS, pull into Echo 1, then have to get to Charlie-1 in 30 minutes for my MCO departure. Makes the C2 to D2 event seem like a cake walk.

We're in negotiations, take your time.

You probably meant "LAS".

Plus there is a nice food court on E-Con. Be sure to stop there before getting on the train to C-Con or D-Con. Flying on an empty stomach is a Safety of Flight issue due to potential low blood sugar causing dizziness.

Either Management boards crew meals on these flights, or they build in a greater connect time. They created the problem so let them deal with it.

Management has stalled the contract negotiations. Don't forget that.

If we were smart we would negotiate to have some of the other cats and dogs currently on D concourse moved to E and we take their gates at D. The last thing we need is to spread out to another concourse.
