How about we turn the freeze on the 764 back to 24 months and see what we can get in return? ;)
Its a win win... Win. Its going to be a far different story on the 717. |

The shortcall max only goes up in a month where reserves are paid 75 hours or more. That works out to about half the year so short calls will increase on average to 6.5 max. The average overall shortcall utilization by the company runs around 2.8 per month.

Thanks for pointing that out, I missed that detail. I'm not sweating the 7th short-call too much. I'm sure this will change, but I've never seen more than 5 SC in a month, and most months I'm only seeing 2 or 3.
Just one more way for the company to absorb impending retirements without replacing them 1 for 1. But we did get 4-8-3-3, so it's ok. |

Yes, I think that will change. I doubt if the company negotiated for something they didn't intend to use.

If so I understand but if not why did you apply to a company that you constantly berate? Everything out of your mouth 100% of the time is negative, condescending, anit-ALPA or anti-Delta. Why did you interview or even apply? Why stay? |

half-truths and obfuscation. It's the DALPA way. |

United is hiring, you should go there.
Our pilot group is a complacent lot when it comes to fighting for improvements that will benefit our families. If DALPA pressures us to vote "yes," most of us do so. Most of us don't realize that ALPA doesn't give a tinker's damn about the Delta pilot. They care only about the Delta pilot's dues money, and how they can keep it. They're trying to preserve their empire any way they can. I, for one, don't think we'll achieve what we're capable of as long as ALPA represents us. |

I'm going to start referring to Drank as Caplinger. Close enoughin writing style!

It'd be pretty boring around here if all we had were pro-ALPA pro-company sailingfun types. I be wearin' my Drank t-shirt. We need that boy all up in here. Fo shizzle. http://rlv.zcache.com/gimme_some_pur...30trlf_400.jpg |
