Understood, Scambo. I just had to get that in there about how my life sucks on the "ER".

It really must be a bummer bidding an int'l category then being bait and switched to mostly domestic flying in which you have to cover 3 airports (2 of which are do-able, but the 3rd...nah). I won't defend the situation, but the bidding strategy Denny brought up can be pure gold, especially in a commuting category that is manned short.

Ha Ha! Dare I say it, Good Luck to you!!;):)

Yeah, it really does work best in a commuting category. I haven't tried it for years. With the reserve guarantee now what it is, I thought I might just try this for a couple years if I can get the AE. The shorter the drive to the airport the better. I can easily make it in 2 hours even if I'm not at home. Plus I don't have to worry about 3 bases.....:) Haven't been on reserve is years. Will have to read "reserve for dummies" if/when I get it.:eek:

Ugghhh, why are only the ALPA regional pilots taking it on the chin in this regional aircraft swap? I would love to hear Moak's response on this, but he is probably too busy soaking up the sun at his million dollar beach house in New Orleans.

And figuring out how to get on the A4A board.......

I don't think there are any beach houses in NO. Even beaches close to there are not very nice.

I think that would be a good thing. Having an airline pilot on their board would have to be a plus, even if you don't like LM.

Sorry riverfront, but there's still a beach.

Im hoping one of these decades mainline pilots will realize that outsourcing allows perpetual whipsawing.
