So I'm starting to realize it's dumb to bid A5 or A6 if you ever want to fly! Guys below & above me from my class got trips in Oct. already. I'm on the same days...only thing I can figure is that the report times are before my window. However, upon looking at them again, some of them got 4 days that have afternoon reports. Any insight on this, FTR?

Also, you mentioned that you don't know how many hours we have and we need to call if we get close to not making our 100 in 120. Well...why has everyone told me to hold onto my 75 hr log until I get 100+ so that I'll fly. Doesn't seem I'll fly either way. It's slowed significantly lately. I realize it's not your fault....just trying to get a better understanding of the system.

Ok, one more question...why is "weather" so commonly an excuse for not being able to release people? We're pilots....you're a pilot...we can all interpret radar, progs, & tafs...and see clear/blue everywhere west of CO. We know at 7pm before 4 hard days off that it odds of being called are crazy....yet I still can't legally get released to make my last flight home after I haven't seen my own house for 3+ weeks... Sorry to vent. Once again, you seem like a good guy....I'm just sitting bored at the crashpad and felt like a good rant.

Pantera - where can I get a sticker?
