I know....I am frustrated as well. I think the D has been absent all year except for the Vandy game. I would like to see coaching changes as well. Coach Mark is a great guy and a solid winner but nice guys don't ever seem to win National championships. With the talent pool UGA recruits, we should be contenders.

The CROT's inability to deal with the substandard 7ER rest seat handed the company just what they needed to do the same to the A330. This is the sort of thing that DALPA used to consider 'leverage'. You know... we'll sign this TA, but we want a bunk, not a seat. Instead it went to the arbitrator, knowing full well the die had already been cast. To me, that's just a very public failure.

Thanks for the info. I had a feeling there was probably more to the story. The precedent was set and the issue was never originally dealt with. Thanks, ALPA. By the way, the short time I flew the -ER, I always thought that crew rest seat was a joke. The snaps barely ever worked and the curtain was always falling down and annoying the passenger sitting by you.

A show on the Discovery channel is talking about "chemtrail" conspiracy. Wow. Now that is science!

I thought I had good BBQ until I got to Memphis. Now THAT's some good BBQ. Unfortunately, MEM is the one Delta hub I don't fly to.

For that, I present to you something new here at APCF, a perfectly compliant picture of a naked model.

When I say naked, I mean naked under all of her clothes.



Hmm, we are missing some stellar posts aren't we. Where are Jesse's jiggling jubblies?

Yes nice coaches win championships. It just requires Superman as a QB, super senior O&D line and a one man wrecking crew at nose tackle. check out the cheerleaders reaction there*.

After that happens, it ain't pretty. Maybe nice guys are too soft?

I mean winning coaches seem to be mean. After all it was Bear Bryant who tortured the junction boys, Colin Cowherd used to play a hissing snake sound in the background as Saban talked and NFL coaches look like they live in dungeons.

Just wait, Bobby Petrinio vs Nick Saban in the Iron Bowl. It'll be really good football. but man, i hope petrino has learned his lesson... about riding motorcycles.

*cheerleader in the short skirt, not the dude. if you looked at the dude, you deserve what you got.

My cousins boyfriends father started grilling me on chemtrails last Christmas Eve. It didn't help I was kind of in the process of getting hammered, so I played along.

He even offered to send me a dvd about them.

We MAY order some planes, we MAY do this or that, etc.

Anyhoo-- Just wanted to say that the memo from Contract Admin regarding the 330 rest arbitration decision was missing one crucial statement of fact. So crucial, that it probably was the foundation of the company's arguments. We'll see if it gets published, but, DALPA has been more than accommodating on the 7ER rest seat debacle, and I mean debacle for many, many years.

Actually, I think that the most telling fact was in the statement "Consequently, the ALPA members of the CROT did not approve
the proposed change and made a separate recommendation of an above deck rest facility."

Just so we are clear, this was a baseball style arbitration and we wanted an above deck rest facility. There is not one A330 in the world that has that and not even sure it's possible. There is a good idea.

MD-88 crew rest facility. There is one on the left for Captains and one on the right for Co-Pilots.

Works great. You can sleep, play on your smartphone, pick your nose, eat, etc. Right up until the other pilot decides he's done saying goodbye to the folks and leaves you hanging there looking at your phone with your finger in your nose.
