Well ... it is "peak." Isn't this when there are supposed to DRAFT pilots for overtime pay? Don't we want them to man the airline this way?

It's been happening a lot lately, at least twice a week for me.

I wouldn't assume that's a guaranteed option, especially around the holiday.

Some of the HKG folks still fired?

The answer is still no.

They called me too (777 right seat). No thanks.

Take a look at all the open time. Got to be close to 600 hours of flying between now and the end of the month.
