I think maybe he's taking that freight dog look a little too far, for a new hire.

Make-Up Carry-In Conflict



Notice the first week is RB, carryover from June. The R24 days that overlapped were dropped, and he apparently asked for extra work, at straight pay.

How about some of his classmates applying a little pressure. Happened to our class when a few DP's were picked up. Some phone calls and e-mails.....

He is French.....he used to wear a Navy S.E.A.L necklace even though the only seal he has come close to is when he was at the zoo.

With my own ears I heard this guy say he never would work for Fedex and do that "night flying".

How do these guys get here?

Maybe he was dating a S.E.A.L. at the time.

Updated analysis:

============================ ============================


Click on the dates to look at the Trip Recap for each Disputed Pairing. (Access to FedEx VIPS required, of course.)



>->->-> MEM B-727 DISPUTED PAIRINGS <-<-<-<







>->->-> LAX MD-11 DISPUTED PAIRINGS <-<-<-<






============================ ============================

ALPA's founders chose "Schedule with Safety" as our motto.
Support the SIG/PSIT in upholding that standard --
Don't fly disputed pairings!




In the 727, Disputed Pairings account for 39 seats -- a mere 4 are "-OPEN-" as of this minute. One more is slated to be filled by a pilot who is listed as sick, so 1 more will likely be open. The other 34 seats are filled by 22 Volunteers. These are not the noble, patriotic Tennessee Volunteers that sacrificed at The Alamo; these are volunteers who are working against our SIG to erode our quality of life; they're OFFENDERS.

8 of these volunteers/offenders are repeat offenders in July -- it might be interesting to see if they're the same offenders from previous months.


1 repeat offender has his calendar blocked from view.

Trip 205 MEM 27 28JUN07 (Second Officer)
Trip 204 MEM 27 18JUL07 (Second Officer)

Block Display: Line 39 MEM 27 JUL07


And 1 other offender has blocked their calendar:

Trip 205 MEM 27 28JUN07 (Captain)

Block Display: Line 4018 MEM 27 JUL07
(Another example of a Disputed Pairing specifically requested on a Secondary Line)


This stuff is stabbing our Scheduling Committee guys in the back.




Good job to the LAX guys -- both seats still open.

What does it take to get through to these knuckleheads? Does ALPA still explain this the first week? How (if at all) can we find out the sponsor's name? There has got to be a better way to get through to these guys - maybe always put them on the DPs until they croak?
