GraveYard Shift BS

I am going to assume you guys are Aviators, because most of that last bit of convo went over my head. (Hah, puns.)

Where is everyone stationed?

 

Haha. If they were always over our head I'd be changing careers. Of couse one of my other hobbies is being in them over other peoples heads.

I work at Memphis, MQQSE is in Alaska. I'm not sure about Airdog but, he spoke about beomg Edwards in the 90s.

 

How much has traffic decreased at MEM with Delta pulling out?

 

A shit load. Delta got MEM with the Northwest merger. The DAL jungle jet operation is gone now too. We did have Southwest start very limited service in November but, from what I hear they are pulling out of Jackson, MS.

 

Yeah, Delta never wanted that hub, already had too many in that area. It sucks though because I'd rather fly through Memphis than Atlanta

 

I'm back on Graveyard shifts next weekend......enjoying a warm bed on this one.

 

I'm in SoCal...I work at the Disneyland Resort now.

 

That's a switch. I know a few guys with their ticket that moved to that industry.

 

Yup about 40% of the guys that work for me are A&P's. None of us have any plans on going back to the airline industry.

 

Memphis though the terminal building is old and shitty is so small it's easy to get around.

The limited service over the years has created some pretty high ticket prices in this market so I'm hoping Southwest decides to grow here.

 

I was out of it for several years and had zero plans of returning. I moved to this area because of St. Jude (son was sick) so I didn't have a lot of decent options. I'm not on the passenger side anymore, which is good.

 

Nothing can be as bad as flying out of Shreveport. We're still "too small" to be considered by Southwest

 

They switched me to 7am - 3pm, complete with Saturdays and Sundays off... for a month
Now I'm back to 10pm - 6am, with Thursdays and Fridays off

 

Yee haw that thur & fri off schedule is hard to beat.

 

Yep me too 90 minutes left of my shift

 

2 hours to go.....first night back is always rough!

 

I'm on 11pm-7am sun-thurs.
Depending what I have going on thru the weekend, I usually keep the same hours.

 

3.5 hours left.
