Is Captain "0" really flying "DPs to check "them" out?

The rest was for hamfisted, who seems to think O is the devil incarnate.[/QUOTE]
Suhweet!! Hamfisted, the Devil incarnate. How dare he call out the SCP when he thinks he is being blatantly lied to. We'll ALL see how sincere OR is at the end of November if he flies ONE DP(the entire trip, not just one leg of a disputed trip) and IF he unblocks his calendar. Or...I can continue to lob outregaous accusations from the back row and you can continue to defend him. Either way, it provides ample fodder for the rest of those on this forum to speak their mind. I have NO problem being in the distinct minority.

You need some anger management training, Bro.

Maybe you're right. I'll go lurk in the corner until the end of November. If our SCP flies ONE full DP trip this month, I will humbly eat my words. If he doesn't, I'll let the rest of my 4800 compadres make their own call. Either way, the light is shining brightly on whether or not he is true to his word. And OR....I'm calling you out.

Maybe this is a MGT guy in disguise ? Better be careful apparently. 
So MGT is out to punish those who voice opinions ? We all know, just read Albie's thread, there is a big difference in online attitude than reality, but Hamfisted is doing nothing other than expressing his opinion. Many here happen to agree that we need change at FDX to have any chance at improving the scheduling process.
If the SCP can help us out, great. The SCP, however, is not the one to fix this. It starts with our Captains and moves down the list, do not fly DP's voluntarily and use all the fatigue countermeasures we have available on ALL pairings when the need presents itself.

"Calling out" the SCP, get a grip dude. [/quote]
No thanks, my current grip is fine!
Uh, on what grounds?
I don't need to PROVE anything! I didn't make the dishonest and disingenous statement, Capt "0" did. In my mind, and in the minds of many others, Capt "0" is the one that needs to prove himself! If he's gonna talk the talk, he better walk the walk.
Find me a pairing where he flew a DP since he has been the SCP and I'll retract my statement. But if he considers jumpseating on the disputed portion of a DP to be equal to actually flying the pairing, with all the requisite duty periods and "legal" rest periods, I stand by my statement!

My knees are shakin dude. He seems to be just fine now but then again, you never know if they broke out the rubber hoses on him. And spare me the lecture. I am simply challenging the statements sent to me via email stating OR and his RCP and ACPs make "concerted efforts" to fly DPs. They haven't yet and I'm just calling him on it. And again, where'd your earlier post go? Buyer's remorse?
