Atlanta Winter Apocalypse

[Stifler's Mom]

DB's email mentioned that they would be bringing in "the best crews." Where is that list? Am I on it? I hope not, I like sitting home. I don't make "history."

I thought the same thing. You guys won't be seeing me at the airport then.

As of 1541z...
The "wintery mix" is about 25nm west of KATL with the snow about 10nm behind that. KBHM dipped down to less than 600 RVR at one point associated with the snowfall.

Looking at a PIREP right now for a CRJ2 over RMBLN for MOD-SVR TB and MOD RIME at FL190.

Looks like SKW took the whacking stick to about 50% of the ATL schedule...about 30 flights total.

Of course neither of my flights were part of the 50% Looking at the flight info monitors it looked like 80-90% were canceled. The terminals were dead.

Just have to break into the "Emergency Supply".

Yes, i'm so bored that I've actually resorted to Flightinfo for amusement...

I know. I'm seriously considering asking the Mods to permanently ban my screen name so I can do more productive things with my time.

No alcohol sales on Sunday. That’s why I keep a emergency never ending supply of
Ice cold beer.

I've considered renouncing my membership to do as you say but I know I'll eventually get bored and pay the $10....

On the bright side, I haven't yet had to resort to the ALPA board so there's still hope for the day.

So...if our 3 day turns into a 4 day because of this, how do we get paid? (regarding the 4th day)

1) The higher of:

Flight Block X Hourly Rate X 1.5
or
3.75 (min daily credit)

2) 3.75 (min daily credit) X Hourly Rate X 1.5

3) Or a pat on the back?

I mean...I love being stuck in a crappy city for an extra day. I just can't figure this one out.
