New OCC/SOC where will it be?

It's offical, posted on the hub.

Just heard on the news. It's PIT!!

So what's in PIT that I should get excited about? At this point, after seeing some of the software East is using, I can't say that my enthusiasm is particularly bubbly.

Well, the PHX SOC will be using the crappy east software once we go to one certificate in May anyway. So the location of the combined facility had no bearing on that anyway.

Had to be done in the east... what - were we going to have schedulers show up for work at 1AM PHX time to do the east push?

What software are you considering crappy?

Any reason for THREE different threads about virtually the same topic? Just like the Doug DUI topic. It's PIT Yipeeee.

He is a great gov.

He is a great gov.

Oh, no he's not. Let me tell you I witnessed an Ed tantrum on a 757 trip out of Philly when he was mayor. He had a hissy because he was not upgraded to first class. According the the flight attendants he was just miserable the whole flight sitting in 8D to SFO. I don't think he's changed one bit. Tom Ridge was a good governor, Casey too -- Rendell not even close.
