I think we'll show a large loss on the fuel hedges. Large.

If I want to pick up a trip, does my schedule have to be clear for the days that operate?

Is there a way for me to pick up a trip, and not have to give up a trip I already have on my line in the blind without knowing if I can get the trip beforehand?

Ok. Those are the two main questions.

I saw your schedule for next month. :eek: I expected these questions from you. :D

I'll PM you later if no one answers soon. Commuting home right now.

Hey 80,

Look at Negotiators notepad 12-12 under scheduling section. It says that the point at which a reserve is "full" does not change until December.

Thanks! I'm 3 hrs below ALV... Not much they can do with me then

Oh, and 38B on a 757 for more ride home tonight. Ftb's picture applies. :)

I always enjoyed 38DDs, but that's just me (and most others on here)!

I am aware that New hire Pilots have housing paid for during the first 2 weeks of indoc and then you are on your own.

Can anyone give me details of what they have done?
Hotel, Crashpad, RV,
How long is the training footprint?

Trying to plan ahead of time and start saving $ towards this time so thats one lest thing to worry about.

Thanks

Most guys get together with others in their new hire class and look for crashpads. Plenty right behind the Comfort Inn on Virgina Ave that are convenient to about 5 different Hotel shuttles.

Or you could always try this:

That is a correct statement.

Looks like 5-10x E190s and 5x A330s coming in the next year, all as growth airplanes.

Additionally, roughly a dozen A321s coming as replacements for 737-300/400... more capacity growth but not fleet growth.


Or, wait, were you talking about another "us"?

The only thing wrong with that is when you dead head the 38 double D's are usually on a man who smells like an onion merchant who cleans septic tanks on his off days.

At GoJets ..... just saw their sign for Captain recruitment.

What's the difference in command of a 118 seat jet and a 90 seat jet? Answer: 15 years.
