Does he even read what he writes?

In the first paragraph, he tells us that revisions happen and we should be prepared. Then he chastises pilots for carrying luggage on a planned O&B. Which is it? Didn't JL post this same type of message several years ago? Didn't he have to backtrack? Maybe 0 should have been reading the letters his CP sent out back then.

I'm going to bring the biggest f'in suitcase I can find with me from the out and back lot next time. I don't remember anything banning luggage from that lot. I guess he has never gotten to the outbound city and had the jet break or get revised to an overnight (wait, didn't he speak of revisions in #1?).

I'm not usually one to defend Capt. "O", but he might be right on this one. I noticed a week after it snowed that several dozen cars were still parked there with snow on them AND I personally have walked in from the O&B lots with guys that were talking about the around the world trip they were headed out on?

That's a different issue then. What he said was that there was no reason to carry a bag on an O&B. What he didn't say is what the rules are for parking in that lot, which in the past also included Saturday AM departures that returned on Sunday.

Has anyone ever not found a spot in that lot? That lot is 1/2 to 2/3 full AT best. There has been numerous conflicting emails on the "proper use" of that lot. The other questions that come up are:

Who in their right mind finds it necessary to "report" the baggage carrying habit of pilot that MAY or MAY NOT be a parking violator?

How about the SCP worry about our crappy pairings and accident record? Push for the needed changes to HELP the people you work for...the PILOTS!

FOQA/ASAP for a start.

I truly feel sorry for him and the rest of us if this is what rises to the level of concern when everything around him is on fire.

PS: I hope in the future that the SCP has someone run a grammar/spell checker on his communications. Not being picky, it just seems to be the right thing to do when he likes to talk about professionalism. We should all be professionals, no disagreement on his message about that topic!

How about adding a lightweight, water-resistant jacket to our uniform "outerwear selections"? Until then, I can legally wear a short-sleeve shirt as outerwear when it's cold outside, but put on the awesome parka (without liner) and I'm a "uniform violator"? Sign me up, baby...

And personally, I carry a bag on every flight--call it my "divert and/or revision insurance." Glad we're focused on the important stuff.

Hey--what would Friday afternoons be without recurring comedy?

On a serious note, as per the "important" e-mail from JP, fly safe out there folks. Complacency is a killer, and the Pk of terra firma (and the FAA) is 1.0.

Hey, guess who read my thread? That was quick.

Is that what you meant?

Conversely, if you ARE a cowboy and wear loafers, wouldn't they be "cowboy loafers?" Wonder if you can wear those?
