Anderson to align capacity with demand

[licorice]

irrelevet because i dont post on here near as much as i used to and when i did it was never constant flaming like others do. when i do come on this site its to attempt a decent debate, However the number of flamebaiters has grown to the point that its nearly impossible to carry on a decent discussion, thus making this website pointless. Thanks for proving my point again

Ahh...come on...lighten up, Francis, it takes two to tango. It's not flaming....look at it like a "celebrity roast" we're just having good-natured fun with each other with our "digs" and insults. It spurs us on to greater and greater heights of creative insolence, particularly through the inventive use of the relation between hypocrisy and irony... and the imaginative use of analogy.(like DTW's comparison of obsession with the SLI to the Japanese soldiers on Guam and Saipan, still fighting WWII 30 years after it was over....perfect!) The intent is not to harm, but to inform, by truth in humor...

Cut the "my squadron is better than your squadron" BS. You sound like a whiny little USair b!tch... just like many of the others the past couple pages.

I've used RADAR for years as well as TravelNet. I was skeptical when I first started using it but have come to like it more than RADAR (which I've used concurrently).

My only complaint is that you can't see the pass level that the riders are travelling on, but that doesn't particularly matter in the DL system since you choose whether or not to change to S2 only at check in.


The new TravelNet system is a now a brand new system with the combined operation. You're stupid if you don't think there will be any bugs.

Radar is not what NWA pilots use for there pass, info, self management, it's ATLAS, which is lightyears ahead of what I have seen so far at DAL. I showed my DAL buddy the ATLAS interface and his jaw dropped. BTW, what's a squadron?

Ah, yes another example in the endless litany of NW's very clever, innovative, and altogether superior history of technology and aviation ideas....all starting in the early days with the painting of their aircraft tails red....boy, that was some "thinking outside box"! (and no doubt interesting trivia for a passenger PA)

Your just jealous.

Yup, and NWA was flying schedules in the northern tier while all y'all were still dusting crops...

Yawn...next? Don't forget to study your Turbulence Plot handout....

Seamless integration... nope, "Seem-less" integration.

Did anyone else play witness to DTW melting down like a block of Velveeta in a microwave when it rained on Thursday?

As opposed to ATL, where it melts down everyday for no reason?

It was surprising, as usually they seem to keep it together in DTW better than they did this past week. The ice storm on Dec 23 (if I remember correctly), went better than that.

I pity the poor agents they throw in that "rebook center" at A43. They might just as well hang up some punching bags and hand our peanuts and cookies.

Sirs: At long last have you no sense of decency! Ganging up on a conciliatory fellow Delta pilot, who is full of good will and seeks only to soothe over, in a most accommodating and friendly manner, the differences between our pilot groups?

And NuGuy, welcome back!...your incisive but diplomatic insights have been sorely missed the past couple of days. Besides "sigh" and "yawn", can you think of any more onomatopoetically inspired trenchancy in the use of your words? ...such as "splash" or "buzz"...."ding-dong-ding-dong" might be appropriate for you....or is it limited to body sounds, like "burp" or "poop"?:laugh: BTW, how can you be a "new guy" with 10,000 hrs? Or is it you were a new guy on FI two thousand posts, and say, 9,800 hrs ago? I congratulate you on that longevity and dedication, I'm sure your wife does too.

Turbulence plot? -You must have the new 3-dimensional ones...we have the antiquated 2-D color-coded ones that always show big green splotches across the NAT tracks.

And nwaredtail, I was casually toying with the idea of bidding the big bus when it inevitably comes to ATL, but in the last 8 years, I've seen a few too many disturbing news images of big bus tails floating in the water...

You mean with the level 6 storms to FL550 that dumped golf ball size hail on my house and knocked out power for 2 days?

I suppose you "men" fly into that?

Doesn't take much to damage the trailer now does it? I'm surprised you didn't just hook it up to the trusty F150 and drive it out of the bad weather.

I suppose you "men" fly into that?

Why, you looking for a date?

ATLAS is very similar....it's all PARS based information.

Travelnet is a lot more user friendly... or was. I'm still feeling out the new system- which I'm assuming is the only one you've seen. There are plenty of kinks to be worked out with the new one.

And with "squadron," I mean the "NWA IS THE BEST" bullcrap. We're all one company now whether you like it or not. Turbulence plots are nice, but they aren't the end all be all of aviation. It's still a ground pounder in a dark room with a computer.... what happens in the atmosphere can be (and is) quite a bit different. They are much better for t-storm areas than turbulence layers.

With all due respect, the TravelNet system is pre-historic. Have showed my two DAL golf associates the Radar/Atlas system and they were wishing it came over. EVEN my AMR buddy thought it was very good. Hopefully the NWA IT Dept. will upgrade TravelNet to the Atlas/Radar capabilites down the road after S.O.C. Not even going to open up the issue of procedures, jumpseat, healthcare cost active/retired, commuting policy, bidding, resv. guarantee, sick leave, management #1 in losses, etc...and all those wide-bodies that don't pay widebody rates. The kool aid must have been strong. Due our warm crew meals come with grits now?

I'm not talking about what you fly through, I'm talking about the wreck that terminal was until midnight which is when I finally left. They were not on their A-game last week.

Agreed, it is prehistoric. Kinda like your 747's and DC-9's. Maybe it will go away just like them.

Hopefully the NWA IT Dept. will upgrade TravelNet to the Atlas/Radar capabilites down the road after S.O.C.

Why not, they've taken over everything else.

Not even going to open up the issue of procedures, jumpseat, healthcare cost active/retired, commuting policy, bidding, resv. guarantee, sick leave, management #1 in losses, etc...and all those wide-bodies that don't pay widebody rates.

Yet still paid better than the few measly (old)widebodies that NW brought to the table, in which some are already slated for the boneyard.

The kool aid must have been strong.

Do they serve it with ice up north?

Due our warm crew meals come with grits now?

Is there a date when they are due? I'm not sure?!?!?! Never had grits!

 

[Diesel-9]

Forgot to mention NWA IS DAL's D.I.P. financing right now. Without the $1 Billion L.O.C. DAL would be the first to re-file CH-11 this fall. D- job in first CH-11, great plan for double digit INT. expansion as only hope to survive. Now what? Oh, I forgot, NWA cash and cashflow. You guys never could handle the truth. Was it the rocking chair? Together we have a better chance for long term survival. It is your only hope.

I don't know what happend in the last few days on this thread, but all of a sudden, like PMS, i'm feeling a lot of hostility from both sides. I can't control the SLI outcome, neither can you. I've moved on, and so should you.

It is your only hope.

We're now joined at the hip, whether you like it or not. Peace.

When I first got hired, all my learning on travelnet was based on what I could display on PARS/RADAR (I knew all the codes on pars off the top of my head thanks to growing up around it and then the subsequent commuting). I found very quickly I could display most of what was available on pars, albeit in a different format- was just learning how to find the appropriate infomation. Much like learning a new FOM...

All in all... we'll end up growing into what is better after a little while anyways. Right now it's just a race to SOC.

I get annoyed very easily by the "my airline is better than your airline BS" from both sides... Diesel has bought into this 100%. My sim instructor on day 1 of last week was the DAL version of you. It comes from both sides.

Haven't seen any grits in the crew meals lately. I'll enjoy my surf and turf on wed and fri of this week, though. Breakfast quesadillas on thurs and sat. I'll check and see if the grits are available, for you.

The rocking chair doesn't exist anymore.

It's "your" only hope? Last I checked, I believe it's yours as well.
