Well......these days the kenyan uses a walker:D Ok there was the night in Max Lager's a few months ago. Hint: ask Scambo about raw eggs, hadn't done THAT in almost 20 years:o

But I still talk a good game.....and I have per diem!!

What about LLC's A330's...think that they are going to keep the orders that they have? Quite a few, I believe....

As a rule no, but...


...a reserve pilot should expect to sit 4-5 short calls per month on average. This was not designed for people like me that choose to commute, ...
Annnnnnd there it is, 2nd paragraph into the dissertation. Nice.



...so a short call day where you aren't called is not a duty day.
Yes it is. Big time.


...If you want a reserve system designed for commuters
How about one designed for the whole pilot group that recognizes the undeniable reality that a considerable portion, in many cases a majority, are commuters?


...then you are going to have to change the rest of the pilot group's mind because that was not a priority on the contract survey.
I suspect that was either wrong or the question was posed incorrectly. I can't believe that as large of a commuting population as we have was all like "meh, whatever, its just a freewheeling choice".

Its really hard to build a house on the kind of foundation you're starting out on WRT this issue.

The quote I heard ref widebody jets was "about 10 more of a type we already have, around the end of 2014" mostly for Asia"

Heard that from a guy who wouldn't say where he heard it, so take it for what it's worth...shameless rumor-mongering

What capacity dicipline? Soon to be Skyteam "partner" Virgin Atlantic just said the new JV will set them up for incredible growth.

So we have that going for us.

Makes sense, thanks guys
