I looked at LGA and DCA and it is amazing how many of those senior dudes floated. The lower end of the list was pretty solid. I saved the list to my computer for future reference.

Vacation No Float
 
This is a pretty blanket statement but i glanced at a couple domiciles and it sure seemed to me the more senior dudes floated way more than their less senior counterparts.

Probably the same clowns who are in a labor union yet vote republican [emoji1748]*[emoji3603]

Didn't float?

All of the leaders or former leaders that deserve any respect and have any credibility going forward didn't float.

(plus one guy that screwed up his bid and is prepared to donate $24,000 to make it right)

Didn't he float last time as well?

What does float mean?

Slice always post cool info on here, hard to believe he is a floater. Floating vacation and working extra for straight time. I question peoples intelligence.

Arado 234 01-16-2019 05:12 PM

I was right. He didn't float last time. This was his lame @$$ excuse:

BOD took five days to agree up support it. They were busy, flying non stop for five days, and too busy to communicate. BOD decision made with no review of the data supporting the 'no float' call. $40,000 decision. Welcome to APA logic

We do have real men of genius here at American!

They do it the same way they've done it for the last 30 years...with a smirk, a you'll be senior someday son and a "Damn, aren't I awesome?" air about them.

There were quite a few JR (less than 2 year ish) 320 F/O floaters in LAX. Quite a few were flow thrus just based on a quick glance. Some OTS too though. I’m more disappointed in them than the senior guys.

Edit: and no, I’m not counting guys who have accumulated 8 or 9 days and floated 1 or 2.

Looks like 777/787 FO’s floated a ton.

Looks like 737 CA’s and FO’s did a great job of not floating in LAX. Thanks gents!
