I really believe that the best is yet to come. I will still keep lurking here however.

Are you off for the entire month of AUG? Otherwise, you could still have a proper retirement, if you so chose. Don't pass on that - my Dad's was a day that our entire family will cherish forever.

Your whole family is on the seniority list? That's impressive.

Congrats maddog! And I'm sure you could get someone in the CP office to buy someone's trip for you so you can get that last landing and water canon salute!

Either way, thanks for keeping it safe all these years.

The bid will post in DBMS (eCrew/iCrew) and on the Crew Resources and Scheduling web page on DeltaNet. In addition, Andy Hummel, General Manager- Flight Operations Crew Resources will publish a memo explaining the bid that will be posted to the Flight Ops Home page. All of these documents will also be sent via subscription e-mail."

Congratulations Maddie, but, they owe you a landing! :D

Uncle Sam is correct guys. The way the company and alpa see it is that all the FAA cares about is 24 hours free from duty. You don't have to answer your phone while on the break but you are responsible for nearly anything they place on your line while your on the break. Both the CPO and alpa told me the same thing. I thought I had to be notified before my break starts but apparently not. For a simple minded person such as myself it's basically 24 hours off but the 12 hour leash never ends.
