Hehe, I will pass that along. They were out in Germany last week and seemed disappointed that I didn't know the crew

My dad does often ask "whatchu hearing from your friend Doug that runs that website?" I think I need a sticker for my flight case that says "My mom met Doug Taylor"

On that note, bed time. They already delayed the flight in the morning because I was late deadheading into LIT because of how FUBARed ATL was this evening.

When is ATL ever not FUBARed?

Oh shoot, ATL's a well-run, well-oiled machine compared to JFK!

"Hey man, we only spent 90 minutes on the ground, we're going to be super early!"

Have you been in the one where on the F/O's side the little screen over the vent below the window was torn, and someone scratched "WHY!?!?" into the point with an arrow pointing at it.
I've jumpseated on that one like 3 times up to BWI

hehe I rode that home yesterday from my Inverse assignment I think its ship 607.

I would like to have the engineer that designed the 75 jumpseat sit in that thing for remedial human factors training....

Cheers

True. Guess it looks worse when ATL is the only major airport you fly into. Everywhere else I fly its "turn left/right at the next taxiway taxi to parking with me"

That won't last though, jet class right around the corner...

Half the 757 fleet has that. Some even have "Why not" written below it. Guys like to stick pens into the hole. Makes a nice penholder.

Yeah, but if I remember correctly, that one has 2 jumpseats...the one on the right side isn't too bad, but I got to ride on "the perch" for the first time the other day. Landing is freaky because all you see is runway.

I dunno...overall my experiences in ATL haven't been TOO bad. You must just think its bad because your airplane is slow You flyin much?

I'm going to be joining you at DAL. Specifically in the OCC in the NavData department as a NavData analyst - at least until I can weasel myself into a Flight Superintendent's gig...

I start 28JUL in ATL.

Congrats man!

What does NavData (apart from the obvious) entail?

Doug or any SJ pilot, did SJ buy the EOS planes or just doing work on them.

I heard they're holding them ransom for eleventy billion dollars

I think they're collateral or something. Delta loaned them some money or something weird like that -- I have to look it up.

Really? I was just joking

Aroo?

Navdata builds all the routes in FPS; they build the daily track routes for the NATS and the PAC tracks; they conduct the FDC and USNOF NOTAM audits, build charter chart packages, they do the 28-day AIRAC navloads for the navdata in FPS2, and FPS1, and the NavTech backup.

We are also there to help the dispatchers when they have a FPS and routing problem, we also verify (from what I gathered) all of the overflight details, ship remarks, airport remarks, flight control and maintenance remarks, and make sure that the stuff coming out of FPS is what is in the Airway Manual.

Do everything (from what I saw) in FPS other than dispatch (and with my ADX certificate, I am hoping that the next time a DX hiring window is open, I can weasel my way in

I think I'll like it

 

[derg]

Excellent!

Can I throw together a flight plan "wish list"?

 

[dispatchguy]

You can drop me a PM, and I can see what I can do, or see what the process and attitude would be...

The format will probably change a little, for the NWA format and the DAL format are night and day...

LOL, You're not kidding, going JFK to LHR, got a 40 minute late pushback due to late inbound form Rome, got the runway for departure and we were no.3 in the line, after we taxied the scenic route over the bridge and past the Cargo area to get to a 22R T/O, so landed in LHR ahead of sched and actually gated back on time, not bad going, couldn't believe LHR only had us do 2 loops in the stack.
