Take a look at the DALPA forum. There is a former NW pilot on there with a whole thread *****ing about how no one at Delta gave him a class on what the word LogSheet means with regard to the aircraft log book. Give me a break!!! I bet he could figure out what they mean by logsheet.
A few days ago I listened in the pilot lounge to a recent hire ranting about how abused he is on reserve to a couple of other pilots. I look at his name tag and start pulling up his schedules. I could only go back 7 months in DBMS. This horribly abused pilot has average 8.2 days working the last 7 months and 2.2 shortcalls per month. Throw me in that abuse pot!!!!
We are pilots! Nuf said.
That said, the guys On the big jets are not working, but the guys on the narrow bodies are getting their tails worked off.
This bid will even that out, and that is good for everyone.
I prefer to work and work a lot, but sitting at home has its benefits too!
