FDX11 How about a guy that spent 27 years flying with an ALPA carrier. Don't be so quick to judge a person. Alpa took my dues for all those years but did nothing as airline after airline have screwed their pilots by taking pensions. As I stated, once you're done paying dues they could care less about you. Woerth(less) and his band of merry men should be run off the property. How much of a paycut did he take from his $450,000? How much did he lose from his pension? You guys need to get as much pension $ in your own names as possible before it's too late. After this I deserve to wear a hat with an anti-ALPA logo if I want. REDWAVE

Back on the thread, I fly for Gemini and work 15-18 days in a row. I would take that in a heartbeat over what I was doing at Continental Express: 17 days off but trans-con commute meant less days at home. Now I get 15 days off at home completely uninterrupted. If you only get 3-4 days off you're just realxing one day then doing laundry to get back to work. I get to take a vacation every month. I really enjoy the schedule. Its not for everyone, but it works very well for my lifestyle and for my wife.

VB, hello again....... I've been busy with a couple of projects.... I forgot, how long have you been at Gemini?
I sent my app, but even though I triple their time requirements, the phone isn't ringing.
Any advice?

I really enjoy the work and for all our issues it is a good place to work. I just turned 14 days of vacation into 38 you can't do that in many places.
