So Much For Flying The Contract

[Medeco]

Make no mistake, Delta is already up in the tower shaping things and SUPERVISING, whatta concept.

Also, combine a reduced schedule for the holiday with perfect weather conditions and even the worst can past good numbers.

Additionally, it would seem based on my schedule that the block ties are more realistic, and we have the ATL airport working with a new runway, PRMS, and a wraparound taxi that all add up to a smooth operation.

For me the question will be two things:

How will the "delta operations" handle things when the bad weather IROPS finally show up?

And, its beginning to feel quite hot in the Big A. Is the time coming when the newbies decide the ramp and 100 degree weather aint for them, and we are all the sudden short staffed again in every zone?

ASA makes a buttload of money even with poor management and an angry pilot group. How much do you think they will make when we settle a contract and the hard feeling go away?

The sky is not falling at ASA, but it will always and forever be a regional stepchild.

I've been here for over six years and noticed a BIG correlation between weather patterns and on time performance.

Our fearless leaders are taking credit for ontime performance mainly because we are experiencing the drought of the century in ATL and there hasn't been a drop of rain or cloud in the sky for the last six weeks..................

That's what shocked me. Aren't they getting fired on friday?

We find it's always better to fire people on a Friday. Studies have statistically shown that there's less chance of an incident if you do it at the end of the week.
