What you'll need to learn to get your blood pressure down is that management runs the airline, we fly it. While we are lucky to have the CROT and a relatively robust Fatigue Risk Management plan, we may not have the right to disagree with the company, in the eyes of an arbitrator.

This helpful tidbit may assist as well. An arbitrator must rule based on past precedent, the contract itself, negotiating history, as well as his own gut feelings. If there was nothing binding him to an A330-300 Class I facility, then he was forced to rule based on - you guessed it - anything but the whims of the pilot group.

I was a yes voter. I did my own analysis. In fact I didn't pay much attention to the junk that spewed forth from the company, or ALPA, because it was all spin. The contract is solid, and I think it was a good step in the right direction. It made me happy - and don't forget it's in the company's best interest to only impress 51% of the pilot group so - I guess I'm glad to be in the slight majority? What do you want me to say? I'm so sorry I voted yes and that I expressed my opinion in the interest of an affirmative vote and I repent for my sins which resulted in just as much stagnation as we would have had otherwise?

I'm going to see if I can get ftb banned for the turtleneck pictures. I find those very arousing.

It just appears hypocritical that a moderator can enjoy and reference jiggling fun bags and a frequent and well loved poster gets banned for the same thing. I understand the necessity to keep things "under wraps"....but I also appreciated being kept "abreast" of some big topics. The twins seem to have a calming affect on us when we get wrapped around the axle on certain topics.

Now to keep you all abreast of the latest in aviation. Check airman in yesterdays jumpseat confirmed everything that was deleted from this forum. Now that its just cockpit rumors I guess we can talk about it again, right?

P.S. Today's workout music at the gym was from the Bloodhound Gang. Title of the Album was "Hooray for Boobies!" Good tunes for Save the Tatas month. I think my favorite song is "3.14". Yup, pie.
