Atlanta snowpocalypse 2014

[COOPERVANE]

On reserve. Took 2 hours to pick up kid from school. Called scheduling like a good little employee to let them know I'll be "unavailable" for assignment. Couldn't get through. Called chief pilot. he said "no problem....we'll just call it commuter clause"

Now I have a TBD on my schedule. TOTAL RETARDS. How many line holders didnt even bother to call or gave up after 10 minutes on hold?

Enjoy the day off.

It took a friend of mine 7 hours to drive from Alpharetta to Norcross yesterday.

I can't even get out of my house. You have to drive up a hill to get out of the neighborhood, and it's covered in a half inch of solid ice. Probably won't melt until tomorrow afternoon.

Well....I guess it's gonna be another TBD for me then....I can't get outta my neighborhood.

Georgia is in state of emergency. No employee is required to report to work during a state of emergency. Get that commuter clause back.

With so many crews not being able to get home, anybody have any info on how the ATL C and D lounges are looking? Coming home tonight and will need a place to crash until the ice melts.

Blizzard of '93

Some of you may remember this storm. People were stranded for days, and Delta had to essentially shut down their entire operation and then restart it.
