This is way different in terms of longevity and such so don't take it as a "me too!" but I always thought it was funny that when I was hired at Continental Express I was around 1,100. When I upgraded to Captain four years later I was around 1,200 or 1,300... and we didn't even merge. Odd?

Well he had flow backs from Continental. Where they got to fly their own replacement jets.

Contact your reps people, let them know that you want to be involved in this process before its signed without our knowledge!

I agree. I thought LOA 29; Scheduling Optimization, should have gone to MEMRAT too. It would have passed, but that was hardly the reason I pushed for it.

It's a post-racial world out there. I'm comfortable with black-and-white cohabitating, especially in contractual language.

There is a lot more at stake but this was just off the top of my head. It will be one of the biggest LOA's we have seen since LOA 46/51

Agreed. It's important for jobs and the QOL of them.

Where do you see that your category is a "no" category? I haven't seen that listed anywhere. I'm seriously considering bidding rsv for october, and the extra day off would probably ice the cake for me.

It'll be interesting to see how much more senior reserve goes with a few extra days off, especially heading into the "slow" months
