Awesome. Can you link to some 2016 info on VDRP?

There are also NASA reports.

Another curiosity: What happens if you inadvertently break a regulation in another agency's airspace?

Are there ICAO style standardizations of self reporting programs for Europe or Asia?

If you categorize Delta, United, AA, Icelandic Air, Lufthansa, Emirates, Qatar, etc as third world Airlines, then you are absolutely CORRECT.

Can people switch from the md11 and 747? What are the upgrade times? Are they going to have more new hires this year? What is the typical schedule like?

Once you are hired with WGA you will be locked into one Aircraft or the other when they off you the job. The time to Upgrade on the MD11F is a little faster than the B747. Upgrade times are granted on performance, attitude, professionalism, and most of all Check Airmen recommendation. Yes, they are hiring 10 to 13 a month for the next few months with,as far as I know,no end in sight. The Christmas rush is slowly coming up and WGA is gearing up for optimum coverage. That said, they have to fill in the seats and cover beyond that number. Schedule is a hard number of 17 days in a row, but they can use you up to 20 days followed buy 10 days off. Hope this helps 24601.

Are the pay rates posted a couple of pages back subject to the 85% as previously mentioned?

Do you mean that if they extend you to 20 days you only get 10 days off? Or 10 days off extra?

The 85% condition is gone. Everyone gets 100% of the newest rates.

You get The remaining 10 or 11 days off, depending on the month. You don't get bonus days off. If you volunteer to work on day 21, you get paid double time. You can expect 20 days a month through the end of this year if you are looking to come to WGA. Last year, Jan, Feb, and March yielded 14 to 15 days off a month.
