So, they MADE you go to anc....give me a break. You could have held capt on any sdf fleet except for the 74 classic and maddog. So don't make a bs statement that they "made" you go by displacing you there. You chose where you wanted to end up, so stop b*tching about it.

Still on furlough with 17 years seniority...but you can always hope <g>. Glad you're the designated UPS happy meal distributor, somebody's gotta do it.

I'm not really in the position to spend weeks in training on another fleet due to family issues (ie: sick family) but thanks for the genuine concern and as usual the all knowing mentality...at least you're consistent. While ANC is doable, both the company and previous EB haven't really stepped up to the plate and it will ultimately hurt the pilot group and the company unless there are improvements. I have great hope that Miller will do more than anyone else has and patiently await improvements. But if my pointing out the shortcomings upsets you, then you've got bigger problems than me. But many already know that.

You chose to be displaced to ANC! One can always stay in the lower 48, just got to go back being a senior FO. And live the good life with a great schedule.

And then age 65, 67 or 70 passes and get locked in place with less pay, retirement and disability if the unthinkable happens. The old adage, never pass up an interview, an upgrade or a bathroom isn't around for no reason.

Bob,
You SWORE to me over a beer (or many?) that you'd NEVER commute up to the ANC domicile just for Captains pay!?!

Guess you just did it for the prestige then, right, CAPTAIN?

Aren't you going through LGB upgrade training now?

Oh, that was the old pilot adage.

With a close relative succumbing to alzheimers, now is not the time to go into long term training, and besides the last time we shared adult beverages there was no ANC domicile. But long before that I seem to recall you swearing that you wouldn't quit the negotiating committee so I guess things do change...

Sitting A in ANC as I type...perhaps you have me confused with my evil twin who I think is starting training.
