Glancing through the Amtrak Service Manual someone posted yesterday. The conductor is supposed to have one table in the diner set aside for him/her during the time he/she are not on the platform or lifting tickets, etc.. It is for him/her to do the multitude of reports required. And to be a...

Just asked my partner (ex-Subway manager) what he would do for a large order. He said that 120 cold cut combos could be knocked out in about an hour from a single store. They are kind of the the "basic" sandwich/sub. That is without adding individual's preferences.

I think it is extremely nice of Amtrak (and some air carriers under the same issues-weather) to offer hotels. Weather is beyond their control and they certainly aren't responsible. That is good customer service.

#6(26) is in the back-in move into Denver at this moment.

Funny you mentioned EA backing out of the gate at ATL. I was transferring from MIA to BOS at ATL the first time I saw it - freaked me out. I actually stood up and moved back away from windows. Then shortly after seeing that I had a Beech 99 captain for Executive Airlines that I worked for that...

I know Cape Air is supposed to be the Eviation Alice twin-motored fully electric 9-pax aircraft launch customer in the near future. They've ordered 90 of them. Weird looking airplane! Sorry I'll stick with the tried and true Cessna 402!

Still a few 757s and 767s buzzing around. At 1730/26DEC.

Sadly we have only had a dusting in Denver (and that was at the airport near my house) this season. It was gone in about two hours. That was a couple of day before Christmas.

Grew up in aviation and airplanes. 45+ years in the industry. Hate commercial flying now. Put me in a DC-3 or even a Cessna 172 and I'll go anywhere.

I agree fully. I just imagined the on-loading/off-loading of ULDs and equipment needed.

Put me on a DC-3 and I'm happy as could be.

Lufthansa flies a 340 daily between Frankfurt and Denver.

I remember UPS was going to be a launch customer for the 380F. That idea went down the tubes real quick. I still have a small desk/shelf flag with a 380 in UPS livery somewhere around the house.

Thanx for the update. I have seen many "long stops" are all dependent on delays and crews. Sometimes yes-sometimes no.

Here is a list of Stretch/Smoke Stops than I have gleaned from various sources for while. Not sure how up-to-date is these days.

IFL Group is still operating a 727 daily I think for UPS from Louisville to New Orleans. Now the UA Caravelle is a golden oldie. Remember United and Air France's flying them when I worked at MIA. Then spent 33 years with UPS.

A wagon is a foreign reference to a rail car.

A lot of places you can. But I know what you are saying.

I watch those do it it daily right out my window and usually at their God given right to do it at 80mph!
