Amen and +717

If what crew resources is saying about the next AE comes true then I as well am looking at the potential to be booted off a jr. narrowbody (and the resultant pay cut). 11+ years after hired.

Still waiting for all this supposed growth and upward movement.

It's like Tuesday night all over. The next polls close in 44 minutes. With 1% reporting we project that anyone on reserve will be displaced down one category. Is it too early to start looking for crashpads in NYC?

Lost their jobs at TWA or elsewhere. Stuck in the dead zone. Been through bankruptcy. Now they have kids in college and are still trying to figure out how to recover from financial loss, pay for college and fund a retirement. I don't expect anyone hired prior to 2007 to have any sympathy for me. I'm happy these guys have till 65 to make up for some of the losses. They need the time. When us junior folks complain, try to think about the misfortunes of the rest of the seniority list. Now, about this fiscal cliff...
Well stated... I'm actually not that unhappy, although it'd be nice to see movement, we all know it will have o happen soon.

You talking Delta's? I saw 2 buses broke down this am.

The NYC Airporter no longer gives us the $10 Fare. I was like excuse me?

Also a 2X4 Capt told me they are doing JFK-LAX transcons now. Wow!

Do the engines actually start if the FO does that on a 757?

I wonder if the captain turned them on instead of me on the airbus if that rude French guy would stop yelling at me while I'm trying to land the plane.
