Do the pilots have the ability to donate vacation time? Like we did at a previous carrier.

Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but aren't the 747s going to be replaced for the 350/330 on a higher than 1 for 1 basis? Looking at our chart looks like we have widebody fleet growth over the next few years simultaneously with high attrition

How do we go about doing that?

Can someone pm me an address where to send a check for our brother. The go fund me website takes a ten percent cut and I want them to get it all. Thanks

How many of those A330 NEO's and A350's do we have on the line today? Zero. Yet we are parking 747's and most of them will be parked before the first A330 NEO or A350 shows up.

Now, let's talk about pay rates. Go check the A330 pay rate vs. the 747.

The A330/350 order was stated by Richard to be a 'replacement' order, for the 767ER's.

Do not confuse Replacement with Growth. They are not the same.

The trips have been in open time for a week. No line holder could white slip them due to the new FAR, and I guess they didn't have enough reserves available. Notice on this A/E they are adding 10 more ATL 777 Capts.

Agree with your main points, but for accuracy, the A350/330 order's press release stated that the order was intended to replace the 747s and SOME 7ERs, not all. They always leave themselves some wiggle room, and there it is.
