Nice, class move. Pathetic.

Moderators, are we using names now?
He used a name from a different forum. You really think that's a big deal? He hasn't been "outed" here...

If I like apple pie, do I also have to like pumpkin pie?

Others were on here lambasting a T&G that stated that we would increase staffing by about 1000 with this PWA.

Glad to see the growth. Appreciate the hard work so many of our fellow pilots put in knocking down the misinformation campaign during the TA ratification.

The concern was not that would be no growth, it was that it was not guaranteed with the addition of 70 more 76 seat jets and the ratio. Ala, not all 717's were guaranteed to be growth jets.

*Also, what airline(s) has about 66 jets that could get our fleet total up very quickly? Not hinting, just pointing out that there are many ways to arrive at 796.

It was an interesting filing I looked at after it was mentioned at the LEC 44 Meeting yesterday by the Strategic Planning Chairman.

It is all connected. It is nice to cherry pick a contract, and take all the parts you want, but that is not practical. You know this. You want SWA's scope, it will probably cost pay. You want the pay.. the scope might be at risk. We have a good scope clause right now.. the best in the legacy carriers (if you think UCAL is gonna put the genie back in the bottle, it will cost them BIG bucks)

I used to keep a scorecard that contained the best scores I shot on a particular golf course. If I could count THAT scorecard, I would have the course record by some 10 shots. While looking at that card gives me the satisfaction that I COULD shoot that score if I put that kind of round together, the fact is that I didn't shoot all those birdies and eagles on the same round.. What you lust for is no different.

Can anyone recommend a AME in DTW (Ann Arbor area) for a Class I Medical. I just moved to Michigan and need to find a new Flight Surgeon. I prefer avoiding the University Of Michigan Medical Center if possible. Thanks!

So give me one example of any contract that guarantees any aircraft will be growth.

Training/Reserve/Pay question: anyone know how you get paid with training plus reserve. I have 3 days training @ 9:45 pay and reserve guarantee for my category is 73 hr....will the total pay be 82:45 with 18 reserve days or will they reduce my reserve day commitments and pay accordingly? Thanks for any help.

You will still get 14 days off so you will only have 14 reserve days and you wont make any over time, I think
