Any short approaches or intersection takeoffs up in the ATL today?

How'd it go?

did one intersection TO from M2 westbound, didn't work out, in some parking lot most of the day

I saw one trying to take off on an intersection near the east end of Mike, just inside the 767 tire marks!

I hear the first SWA arrival was on runway 28, the farthest runway from the terminal. Welcome to ATL! Maybe you should put Dominos on your speed dial.


Godspeed!

I saw a southwest captain and f/o tearing into some Popeyes; looked like the 5 piece strip combo with fries and a biscuit. Hope they didnt have a long trip afterwards.

They probably negotiated a 75% discount on everything at the airport.

As long as they have a gate they can turn the aircraft in the same amount of time. The flight time might be longer than usual but not the turn time.

So are you saying labor in the south are lazy?

Has anyone ever flown the Atlanta transition in Atlanta? You fly North to South or South to north and intercept a outer runway downwind... No need for published Atlanta arrivals. They only give them to GA planes or Airliners during back side of the clock ops.

The irony is SWA has been waiting all these years to get to ATL. Where as a great 4 day trip for me is one the starts and ends in ATL with no ATL fly through at all. Almost all of the AT 737 trips are built that way. Anyway, welcome to the A-T-L. Atlanta Bread Company is probably your best food option on C concourse and is close to your gates. If healthy isn't your thing, then Popeyes and Ben n Jerrys is the way to go.

I live in the south.
