I hope a lot of those are senior WB FOs. Might keep some of us from gettin' bumped.

At least you have your avatar right.

The problem is that the scraps might be a little too much, and a little too rare, for the little fish in the pond. A lot of 6-day trips as too big to add to your schedule outright, and the 3-days that might actually fit are snapped up before the junior pilots can get them, assuming they're not (still) too big also.

Looks like a very comfortable living if you're not greedy, and you like London, though.

NYC765B 5-7 from bottom. Line 4 months reserve the rest. 90% London and São Paulo red eyes.
All that being said he made $22000 more than me last year!

Double post.....

Appears the summer off stick and carrot is being removed at the last minute. Shocking!

I called this weeks ago as the company was actively advertising that 717 crews would get converted earlier than deliveries.

I used to be a narrow body "A" from blockholder to reserve. VD to WB FO. Every holiday, weekend off. Usually get any WS and the occasional GS. Made 5k less last year, BUT QOL went up 500%. My days of 4-5 legs are over. (Until those rugrats are off to college)

Anyone done a buddy pass lately. I was quoting a friend how much it would cost and when I did the "fare calculator" on travelnet 2 prices came up. There was a yield $xxx.xx and a buddy $xxx.xx Do you add both to get the total or is the yield part of the buddy and you just end up paying the higher buddy amount? Confused?

We need to do away the GS system. It only benefits locals. I'm guessing over 50% of us commute. By not having 1.5 over say ALV for example, it's cost me over a $1500 this month. I don't pick up or trade, just fly what pbs gives me. With ALVs going up with the new contract we should work on this, possibly in any negotiation involving the Virgen code share. There can stil be double time for inverse assignments or reroutes into days off. I'm sure the other half that don't commute won't like this though.

Nice work if you can get it...
