Umm. Do math often?

1000 pilots.
Pilot A: 500/1000(50%)
Pilot B: 750/1000(75%)
4.8% retire = 48
952 pilots remaining

Pilot A is 452/952 (47.5%) 2.5% change
Pilot B is 702/952 (73.7%) 2.3% change

That is exactly how much you should have moved up.:cool:

Shiz's math is correct, but I think Boog's point is that advancement due only to retirements is not advancement. If you've moved up 2000 numbers but you're still five from the bottom, your situation has not improved.

Carl's wife is kinda hot.

Boomer...If that was Carl's wife do you really think he'd spend as much time on here as he does arguing with Tsquare?

One would hope not, but the world is a strange place.

Well, this seems like a good number of posts for me to end on. :D

It's really been a pleasure chatting with you good folks. From Denny and FIIGMO up in the northwest, to Buzz and Uncle Ferd in the southwest, to FTB and Clamp in the southeast, to Scambo and NewK in the northeast and everyone else in between, you guys are a really good bunch. I've learned a lot and laughed a helluva lot! End of cheerleading before somebody revokes my man card.

But since there's this persistent talk of another possible merger, I wanted to leave you with some strategy points regarding any seniority list integration. And I wanted to deliver them like my buddy FTB might do. So...if the airline we end up with is:

Alaska - Bros Before Eskimos


Hawaiian - Bubbas Before Bruddas


Air France:

Dogs Before Frogs

American - Van Admirals Before Admiral's Clubs


Republic - Widgets Before Midgets


And for anyone who doesn't want their a$$e$ kicked - "NewK Before Anyone"

I hope the very best for all of us, and that this contract works out well. I also hope that DAL88Driver and Orvil continue to be way smarter than me, Clamp gets to perform his first "magic carpet ride", acl gets to run the union someday, Boomer gets hired and Bucking Bar flies nothing but Boeings from here on out.

I'll come back to lurk when I can

Over and out.

Carl - Retired from APC

Excellent farewell Carl. Your post count is positively surreal.

Here's hoping you come back and visit after a brief sabbatical.

I'm also ready to move on from all the contract angst... When does college football start?

Right back acha brother. Looking forward to bending an elbow with you one day!

Wait. Don't we get to try to talk you out of retirement before you go?

Think of all the underboob pics that will generate!

Don't go, bro!

(Quick. Someone post some underboob before he makes a rash decision. :D )

Hey Guys,

Completely off the subject of the TA.....I heard that we can "non-rev" on SWA. Is that the same thing as jumpseating? If not, how do we go about it? Plz send me a PM with some details. I'm flying right now but need to fly out to meet my family and drive them home.

Thanks guys.
