SWA/ATA codeshare ending?

[Slug]

There is no t in wrasselin!

You forgot to mention that there are some people that are still at ATA that have jobs due to the codeshare/SWA investment. I guess the other option was chapter 7. Not a flame, just looking at the positive side.

But lets not forget those who lost their jobs mainly because of this.

CT??? All that wraslin' is yalls fault!!
Except for the VonEric's getting their start in the Sportatorium in Dallas.

Working all night?? Portion of a "Newsweek" article.
ADDING IT UP. The reason: No matter how many espressos night workers might belt back, their bodies are telling them it's time to sleep just when their employers need them to be the most productive. Graveyard-shift workers make five times as many serious mistakes and are 20% more likely to suffer severe accidents, Circadian found. Those on the overnight shift also have a significantly higher incidence of costly diseases and disorders, costing employers billions.

This is no surprise to occupational health pros, who have done their own studies on work and fatigue. They show that the fatigue that comes from staying up too late, or for too long, routinely leads workers to go easy on the exercise. Night workers also seem to eat more fatty foods during their 3 a.m. lunches. Obesity and diabetes rates are higher among overnight-shift workers, according to Circadian. All-night workers tend to have heart disorders at rates 40% higher than those of workers on dayside shifts.

Social costs are also high. Night shifters don't go home, have dinner, watch TV, and then go to bed the way nine-to-fivers do. When the sun comes up, they still have to function in a world that's largely unaware they're running on fumes after working all night.

LIKE BEING DRUNK. This disruption in life's routines might be why divorce rates are as high as 60% among all-night workers, and why they have 150% more stress-related gastrointestinal disorders. Health-care coverage adds a further $28.8 billion to the corporate bill, according to Circadian.

Damn, just added it up. I have 12.5 chest x-rays comming this weekend.
As far as monster truck shows go. Don't knock it til ya try it. If you can go to a combo of tractor pull and monster truck show, you're gonna have a great night. Eat sme Whataburger before the show and take some Banana moon pies to snack on so you dont have to buy the expensive stadium food. Full Pull baby!! Full pull!!

How dangerous is flying?

[SIZE=-1]Altitude matters. Whether you are flying in an airplane or living at a high altitude such as Tibet - the amount of cosmic radiation your body must deal with is increased. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]During solar radiation storms, passengers on jets flying nearer Earth's poles can get zapped with than the equivalent of 10 chest X-rays [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]A 1996 paper in the American Journal of Epidemiology examined the incidence of cancer among 2,740 Air Canada pilots. The group had a sharply higher incidence of four specific types of cancer compared to the general population: myeloid leukemia, astrocytoma, prostate cancer, and malignant melanoma. [/SIZE]

• [SIZE=-1]Myeloid leukemia is definitely associated with radiation exposure, and occurred in the Air Canada pilot group four times more frequently than in the general population. A Danish study also found an association between exposure to cosmic radiation and leukemia among aircrew - it was published in Lancet 1999; 354: 2029-31 [/SIZE]
• [SIZE=-1]Astrocytoma (a type of brain cancer) occurred twice as often in the Air Canada pilot group as in the general population, and increased incidence has also been found in other studies of airline pilots.[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=-1]Significantly higher incidences of prostate cancer were found in both the Air Canada study and another study of British Airways pilots. Current thinking is that this might be related to electromagnetic radiation from weather radar and other avionics rather than from cosmic radiation.[/SIZE]
• [SIZE=-1]A study of female airline flight attendants in Finland and Denmark showed an increased incidence of breast cancer, and a study of male U.S. Air Force pilots showed they had significantly more genital and testicular cancer than non-flying USAF officers.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]In 2000, the European Union introduced legislation which requires all European airlines to monitor cosmic radiation levels during flight and to inform aircrew of the possible health risks.[/SIZE]



you are cooked....hope u live long enough to make captain!!!!

Fired

(Los Angeles, California) Two Southwest Airlines pilots have given the term cockpit a whole new meaning. A male flight attendant, summoned to the cockpit by the captain, found both the captain and the first officer buck naked. The plane was on autopilot and there was no danger to the passengers the airline says. But, both pilot were fired.
"Southwest Airlines conducted a thorough investigation and terminated the two pilots involved for inappropriate conduct," says spokeswoman Ginger Hardage, who would not elaborate. Southwest "will not tolerate any inappropriate or offensive behavior."
Hardage refused to say where to plane had taken off from, or where the Boeing 737 was headed. Nor would she say if the two men were in their own seats.
The pilots have appealed, saying they had spilled coffee on their uniforms .The president of Southwest's pilots association, Capt. Ike Eichelkraut, would say only, "It's an internal matter."
The Federal Aviation Administration says there's no specific prohibition against flying naked.


this does not help deter radiation!

jealous... you don't have F/As

 

[CaptainMark]

not really...but naked pilots...too cool!!!

Glad we don't go any farther south than FLL or north of SEA.
Live long enough to make Captain? If I don't live to see 35, I have more problems than catching too many rays.
