Good Luck


I'm imagining the break room on the first day when you say to the class "Hi, I'm Captain America. Which one of you guys is Archie Bunker?" Blanks stares and the sounds of crickets chirping followed by the arrival of the men with the large butterfly nets and staright jackets.

Any pilot who has gone from the front seat to the back seat will not have the opportunity to upgrade again to Captain. The FAA, including their new rug-munching leader, will impose fences as to will UPS and FedEx

The FAA may, but the new contract already has language for backseaters "upgrading" the catch is there has to be a vacancy. They can not simply displace back to a window seat, and if they are within 2 years of age 65 the company may elect to "bypass" the position.

Capt America

How long did it take you to get the Whiz paperwork from UPS once they gave you a contingent offer? Do they use Labcorp or some other Lab? Are you near a facility that they use? Haven't recieved mine in over 10 days and was wondering how long it should take or if I should call back?

Thanks in advance.

Bench,

They should have overnighted the packet to you. I called on a friday and got the package Monday and tested that day. There was a Labcorp nearby for me. Perhaps they are trying to locate a facility for you. You should definetly call Dawn either way. Good luck, hope to see you soon.

Do you really think the contract overrides the FARS?

Jolly,

Thanks for the info. I don't have Dawn's #. Buzz only gave me a number for Angie Miller. I will try her in the morning. Thanks again and hope to see you soon as well.
