That's about it.

Don't forget per diem tax discussion!


Boobies.


Lots and lots of boobies.

This AE just is yet another example of the union and company hoodwinking us to get what they want collectively. We better hope that we "career fo's" don't have to endure another merger...especially with young pilot groups like AK and JB...the DAL FO's will be slaughtered...AGAIN!

Wow, with a bunch of MD-90s coming this year, 737-900s, and 717s, this is a zero hiring shift downwards of everyone. Virtually every category "is overstaffed" now. I'm sure the usual suspects will come on here and tell me how great the rain is, but from where I'm sitting it sure does smell like **** to me.

If this is what we have to look at with three types of new aircraft coming onboard, a "TA that will generate hiring", and a hugely profitable airline comfortably done merging in an industry that has finally rationalized down to 4ish like everyone said would be so good for the industry...

Well, den yummy yummy! I sure nuf do like dat yellow rain!
I predict I will move backwards at least a percent to continue my decade long slide downhill.

It is not going to get better any time soon. I have heard from multiple sources that we are not far off from raising the retirement age again. What's another 2 years of stagnation + at least 1 more year of no hiring? It could be 2016 before we see any movement. 2019 to see any real movement.

An ounce of prevention...

Sounds like a pretty good couple of weeks! :D

Baja's main drawback is a lack of boobies between Ensenada and Cabo. So while I'm tanned, well-fed, well-liquored, and well stocked on GoPro footage with 32GB of moto mayhem to sort through... I'm a little boobie-starved.

BRING ON THE UNDERBOOB! :cool:

Found it on the first page...

A potential widebody order, huh? :)

On the bright side, we have Virgin Atlantic JV to look forward to. Who wants those boring Atlantic crossings anyways. And, it will now be a lot easier to find a parking spot in MSP. Scratch that, PCL will fill them:mad:

I'm going to add that I think this lends a little weight to the 747-400 rumor. Mainly, because it seems like they are talking about near term AE's to staff for the order.

Is there a chance we could take delivery of 777's within the next year or two?
