Below my signature I wrote "BTW - what up with all the disputed pairings?"
He read the email on 10/15 (Read: 10/15/2007 5:53 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time) and shortly thereafter his calendar was blocked! Oh yea, he never responded to my email!

The other pairing you mention is bad too, but the SIG can't fight that battle anymore, alone that is, the type of flying in pairing 121 needs to be fought from the guys flying it and pairings like it. We have a LONG history of flying stuff like this and the only thing we can do is call a spade a spade when the opportunity presents itself.
If you have a question or critique with what the SIG is doing I would send them an email or call.

Today I heard a Capt say "As a general rule people shouldn't pick up disputed pairings, but it's OK if a guy is working on his high 5".
He was dead serious.
Come on, please don't tell me this is even close to the general consensus among the "55 and over" crowd.

Disputed pairings
Well ... I'm impressed with "O's" email today. He says he's working to resolve these issues and flies these Airbus DP's himself. He says he intends to have other RCP's fly them also.
I really like what he's saying ... I hope he can fix them. Good for him for trying (assuming he's serious and really WANTS to fix them).
Maybe the jury is still out on the new SCP and he'll turn out to be watching out for our best interests after all. I say we give him a chance and see what he can do!

Any predictions on how many of the HKG pairings these clowns will go out to Asia and fly? I want to see them when they arrive in the hotel in CGK after operating a segement such as this gem from the sample pairings:
