Seeing something that every year gets further (impossibly further) from my grasp makes me sad. There was a time in my prime that it would have been me with a beer in my hand behind the camera taking the picture. You're only as old as you feel!;) Old guys rule! What goes TDY stays TDY, even if that TDY is to Vandy.:eek: |
Christmas is OK but college football is truly "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year".
The Vols won their opener. My wife was ecstatic. That's always a good thing. ;) And an added APC bonus --> tsquare will be in a good mood. http://i.cdn.turner.com/sivault/mult...leader(01).jpg |

For those on Facebook I was just sent a gift from the hooter gods. Go to the search function and type in "the breast page". Hopefully this helps those who felt the cup size in the vandy pic were too small.
For those trying to keep 'abreast' of Delta hiring. Some ASA bubbas swear the Delta pilot hiring page changed this week. |

From the Trim Tab: Rumor Control There’s been a rumor circulating that Delta opened the pilot hiring window this week. Unfortunately, that is not true. Our Pilot Hiring group has maintained a presence at select job fairs and conventions since we stopped hiring in 2010 and prospective applicants can still post applications to www.airlineapps.com; however, Flight Ops has not yet received the Network plan for Summer 2013 to determine any staffing needs. US Airways announced that they opened their hiring window this week. Scoop :( |

actually I've had a few conversations about it with the union and can post the summary when I get back to the computer.
like I mentioned the thing that was broken before was SC. it counted for nothing and was assigned at random. that's been fixed and is great. but that's where changes should've stopped and time allowed to pass before more radical changes were made. having worked in both systems, the raw score only long call was a better QOL for more pilots than with the bucket system. remember in the raw only the senior pilots, contrary to pulsar belief, flew last because seniority did matter a lot on LC. but it was a system once everyone had worked at least a little then reverted to a simple ye who works the least goes first. that was a good system and the flying was spread out minus the effects of SC. the thing is if we looked at the data and junior pilots were not being screwed then I think they'd need to fix it by raising the 80 raw score bucket to 120. that's if their goal is to remain consistent with the idea of a seniority only system minus strings attached by a company who has no desire to pay pilots in full not to work in full. my question is do you want a system that requires you to be in the top 70% of a category to have decent QOL or one that says if your okay with being on reserve you can have a pretty good QOL even at 90% in category? |

Baja. Pilots out for MIL LV are under "Orders" from the military. They have little or no say in when their orders are up. Pilots who bypass are making a personal decision and weigh the pros and cons. Thus the company will take back MIL LV members whenever they are done with their commitment. When MIL LV is up they can bid anywhere that their seniority can hold. It really woudn't work out too well for MIL guys and gals if their MIL commitment ended and they were out on the street for 3-4 years waiting for the company to hire. The good thing about this is that unlike furloughs who are all very closely spaced in seniority and can only return during active hiring MIL LV personnel are a little more spread out and will slowly trickle in at various seniority levels and do not normally return in big groups coincident with hiring.

Hey, can a 777 guy give me some intel on how often DXB-ATL (and I guess ATL-DXB but that seems like less of an issue) are payload optimized? Are non-revs left behind often/sometimes/never? Thanks!
