Must be the kool-aid :nuts: ;-)

I'll be sure to have 10nCLR check his latest batch. It must be off a bit.

 

[10nCLR]

Damn it. Oops, I used the wrong water source again, so I think that batch contained radioactive elements from the 50's nuclear fallout. Sorry...... Damn that "Dirty Harry". Although, it does make the turkwise and urnge flavors glow real nicely.

Are you skimping on costs by using Chattahoochee River Water again? You better switch back to that pure stuff that comes from the Wasatch Mountains.

Nope,
The real kool-aid is made from SGU, tap water, the finest radioactive mixer available. You only get the finest mix, from downrange nuke testing sites! Fecal coliform bacteria is lame compared to U-235 and its decay byproducts, which give the finest "ORIGINAL" kool-aid its zing!

You are absolutely correct PBR.

SkyWest.

So SkyWest made good performance numbers with bogus schedules and turns less than 35 minutes going from one concourse to another in ATL with only 8 airplanes? I think not.

I know SkyWest is just the best thing since the invention of the airplane and can never do any wrong with their infoulable leadership :erm: , but give me a break. This wasn't a Pinnacle problem. This whole mess is Delta not honoring scheduling sections of the Air Service Agreement.

Are the pilots really buying this nonsense? The truth is you guys are upset about not having a contract and hateing your company. PCL mgt bitching about Delta's schedules is a scape goat. How many flights a day did PCL have out of ATL? (Really, I don't know) Now how many does ASA have out of ATL? (I think around 650 or more). Don't we all have to deal with the same Delta? Believe me when I say this. When we were all pissed off about our contract our management blamed Delta also. But its the same Delta, only we have a happy productive pilot group now, and our #s reflect that.

ASA operates over 900 flights a day for the Summer Schedule.

Yeah... I figured it was up there, but its lower (I think?) for just ATL, which is where their 900s are.

So you think this happened because the pilots are unhappy here? Then how do you explain 99% completion factor and record on-time performance on the NWA Airlink side of Pinnacle? That theory just doesn't have any validity.

You are right about one thing though. It's a Delta problem, but we all don't deal with the same agenda from Delta. Again, the schedules set-up for Pinnacle were not like the schedules set up for the rest of the DCI carriers.

Why not? Delta has how many DCI carriers? Comair, ASA, Skywest, Republic, Expressjet, Pinnacle, Mesa, Chautauqua... Who else is currently haveing a problem? (Mesa) This is EXACTLY what ASA mgt was telling us when our #s sucked! Its Delta's fault. But I never heard any of the other DCIs having a problem.

Oh and if you are proud of your 99% completion for NWA and 4+ years into the end of your contract, that's nothing to brag about. Time to fly by the book and make sure your airplanes are the safest things in the sky. And make sure that you look at the FAR/AIM and taxi at a brisk walk speed.

 

[NWA]

Anderson was in Memphis yesterday, and last night having drinks with his old buddy Phil. In a couple of weeks Pinnacle will anounce they get to keep the 900 flying for Delta but have to make some major improvements. Anderson was quoted he is still in discussions with Pinnacle. If they really are gone, which I doubt it they will go to Comair, and rightfully so.

 

[79%N1]

Why is it rightfully so they go to Comair? They are to be flown out of ATL. What? Is Comair going to open an ATL base to replace PCL, or should they go to an airline based there already? (ASA/Skywest)
