I think what I am upset about is the double standard that is present at PDT. Don't get me wrong here, 99% of the time I am very thankful to be at PDT, there is just that 1% of the time that people need to vent and this is just one of those times.

We are told we are doing well and we won't be losing flying or furloughing. 2 months later we have reduced flying and are asking for LOA's. If a flight gets canceled or trips get modified, we have to beg for money that we are entitled to. But if there is a screw-up in our favor, it is fixed before you can blink. They do not take accountability if the error was on their side. OK, bank error I will believe especially in today's economy but there are those of us who live pay-check to pay-check and we need that money on the day we expect it to pay bills that are due. Landlords and College Loans still ask for their money on the first whether you have it or not. Thankfully they are doing a little to regain my trust in stating if any checks bounce because you did not receive your money to forward it to flight pay so I give them a little bit a credit.

Vent over, on a more positive note the EFB's should be an interesting addition to our 100 fleet. How many people think our senior captains will use them. In EWN I think it will be about 50-75% of the CA's will learn to use them.
