Very cool. What does the career progression look like going from pilot to SVP of Flight Ops?

 

[Der_Meister]

Can't get into Alpa national but, we can run the FAA. Ha!

 

[NovemberEcho]

Does this mean I’m goin tk have to solicit light chop reports from everyone now?

Already had two Deltas in a row, it was time for a regime change

 

[derg]

I wonder if I sent him a text, if I could get a gate hold relieved. Ha!

 

[Roger Roger]

Aren’t we all a dick son?

If you text me you probably could

 

[gotWXdagain]

If you can’t get a gate hold relieved, you should at least be able to get relieved during a gate hold. Does that also require a text?

 

[Soul Brotha']

If you text me you probably could

I’m gonna hold you to that. Next time I get an EDCT or wheels up time for EWR/JFK, I’m name dropping. “But I know @NovemberEcho, adjust that time immediately!”

 

[derg]

Or on my next “panic vector” — “@NovemberEcho would have sequenced traffic FAR better!”

 

[Jimmy_Norton]

Well, that should work out well for general aviation

"If you want to use Dubai as the example, the entire economic development of that emirate is focused on diversifying the economy ... that's what US carriers are dealing with; not so much an entity that is operating as a private business trying to turn a profit, but maybe going after more market share. So when we talk about 'a level playing field,' our open skies policy needs to take that into account."

He can't tell you...unless you bring pizza like the SWA guys. I can confirm that was a thing at LA TRACON in da 90's. I can't say I actually ate the pizza, but I heard it was a thing...

SWA: "We can take an intersection"
TWR: "Delta 123 cleared for takeoff"
SWA: "We can take the intersection"
TWR: "America 789, line up and wait"
SWA: "We can take the intersection"

As an aside, I was jumpseating on an AA flight out of Kona a few days ago to LAX. We taxied so slow to the runway I thought they had a flow time or maybe something was broke. I mean I'd have a hard time going that slow. Then I remembered I was on AA and I kinda laughed. We blocked in so early we had to wait for a gate, so I guess it was all good.
