At any time. Unfortunately for the oo crew it was their turn. People can enjoy it for what it is, I just think this feud with Skywest is getting out of hand. Hell, I'll admit I'm even guilty of getting caught up on it. It's just getting silly.

Agreed, enjoy it as a funny "crap happens" moment, but leave 00 out of it, and out of everything else for that matter, the battle amongst regionals is just plain stupid. Also CP guys, 20,000 stuck mics doesn't even come close to how stupid we looked that day in LAS, so there, stop please.

SDF ARFF finally responded after one of our pilots mentioned the foam party going on at your hangar. Any idea what was going on? (An ELT was going off as well. Don't know if that was related)


Small fire in the hangar, opp update just confirmed it. The foam has obviously disabled 2 ac for the time being and they were not spares so that should be interesting. Just glad nobody was hurt, fires in a hangar like that can be bad news.

Almost makes me wonder if it could have actually been a disgruntled employee. Seems within the realm of possibilities.

Not to change the subject too drastically, but I want to make sure my bid goes through properly. I think I am getting pretty close to a partial line this next bid (within a few of the targeted lineholders in base) and just want to make sure I give myself the best chance of picking anything up. I bid "avoid reserve" for layer 1 and then added my reserve off days for layers 2 through 7. Is that correct? That seemed like the best option and the "Documents" did not have any clarification on that particular selection. I'm hoping PBS doesn't just say "He can't avoid reserve this time, so next layer" without trying to put together a partial if it's able. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Go to the cpz.alpa.org website. There's a PBS section where you can fill out a form and attach a screenshot of your bid. They're pretty good about getting back to you and giving advice. There's also a PBS guide, that's different from the new hire guide.

If you can't figure out how to get on the website I can give you an email that will be sent to the PBS committee. They'll probably ***** about you not using the ducking form though.

Does Compass still utilize the Delta interview format with the JKT and Cog test followed by the HR panel interview?
