But at FDX, UPS, and SWA, it IS zero.

I know a couple of guys who have left FDX since 2008.....
UPS has pilots on furoulgh, is that "attrition"?
Do guys who bail from AirTran now count as attrition from SWA?

If you are so unhappy.....leave.

They got theirs and don't really care.

You think it's better being stuck part of the way up a never moving list?

If you're anywhere on a non-moving list, because it's still a mon-moving industry, then you have my condolences, and my company to boot. And if you've got some longevity that makes you feel married to this airline, then you're not getting yours the very same way we're all not getting ours. You're not special in that regard.

But if you're at the bottom of a non-moving list, with little longevity invested, and you can clearly identify some other lists are moving, and you're investing your time in whining rather than writing resumes, George Carlyn has some categories you might fit into. Because that kind of activity is not just irrational, but just plain stupid.

Either Delta is a good bet, or it isn't. Make the call, go for the greener pastures, or commiserate with rest of us about being stuck, but don't look for any sympathy because you think you've identified better options that you don't have the courage to try. In other words, I disagree with the offensive "if you don't like it, leave", but I fully support the notion that if you think it's better elsewhere, go.

This conversation reminds of the raging [deleted] that I flew with upon returning from furlough, and told me they surely would leave if they were in my shoes, because it's a beautiful world out there, and they have a neighbor making... Just as beautifully hypocritical, maybe more so, because the [deleted] that were trying to rectify their own lack of courage vicariously through me had no real intentions or means of leaving. Whereas a bottom guy, if it's truly better elsewhere (which I'm not debating) actually CAN, and SHOULD take the step.

Either way, my compliments to those that have made a decision on staying or leaving, and are acting accordingly, minus the drama.

"They got theirs". WAFJ!

Go Cards!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regardless, 3 errors and stranding 10 runners is really what did them in. Not the infield fly call. The Cardinals scored a run off every error the Braves made. That's capitalizing on opportunities, & that's good baseball.

No it's not....I think the junior reserve FO's that are commuting to NYC are just as happy as the senior FO's that are getting nice commutable schedules or that live in a base that they want. :cool:

I'm coming from days off and around 2p acknowledged a 1:30 p SC for the next day. Then around 10p get a call telling me I did not acknowledge my 8:30am trip. Apparently, anything we acknowledge prior to 3p is null and void. Does this sound right?

You have to check your schedule after 3. Anything prior to 3 can be added or taken away.

Correct.

And I always snag a screen shot of the after 3 time stamped schedule.
If there's nothing on it, you're good til long call starts at midnight.
