Default Reality check

Read the contract. ANC is excluded from the "no harm, no foul" clause.

If you don't want to ride the company the morning before you can always buy a ticket the evening or night before your departure to make sure that you're in position. Just the way it is.

I have no idea, don't know the guy, neither does anyone else on here it seems. Just having a little fun with the minor uproar he's caused on this thread. I'm sure we'll all survive

Must not be too overmanned if they will not let you drop a trip into OT! Good luck dropping that hot potato. Might think about sending ALPA a copy of your drop denials for future evidence.

Trying to fly in and catch your trip in a few hours just doesn't work. You will need to come in a day early. This ain't Memphis. Consider your bid carefully.
I am sure Kronan just didn't realize how special ya ahl are up there. He was just trying to make the point that the pilot determines his fitness to fly not management. Now get back to scaring us off. Has anyone mentioned what the women are like up there?

I'm sure they have (unofficial) filters to prevent DPs from being dropped, regardless of actual manning levels.

Those schedules guys aren't dumb.

I noted the sarcasim. No worries, I am sure we will to. A lot of p' od' people right now and we all need to keep from taking it out on each other. It is just really sad because ANC is a great base with great people and now the whole dynamics will change. A bunch of angry memphites are going to be forced to make a miserable commute from their Mecca in Collierville so they can make their payment on their kids tuition at Ole Miss. Just not good for anyone. I think the whole point here is it is not an easy commute and you have to make a commitment to come here that you are going to spend extra DAYS in ANC on your own time. I bought a place and made it my home away from home which has been great, but expensive. The other thing that has not been mentioned in a long time is there are no FOOD COURTS anywhere we fly to out of here, which is going to put a real crimp into the memphites layover plans. Also, now that this Exodus of memphites is going to occur can we start putting the ANC approach plates in plastic a leaving them in the trip folder?

About 95% of them are obese, not fat. The other 5% (who are hammers) are all married to either FedEx or Air Force pilots based here. Sorry, not a great place for the single guy either.
