Where are the rest of the ATL717B guys on the list? I count only 77 guys out of 120 that were awarded out of 145 that were supposed to be awarded.

Where ya'll go?

That seems odd. Any ideas?

I didn't realize that the displacements are posted separately.

I do have one question, why do junior pilots get trained and converted months ahead of senior pilots?

I believe the last Crew Resources letter mentioned that, something about the 717 training pipeline, the DC9's staffing, displacements, etc. Basically they said they would be making 'adjustments' in the next few bids, while trying to avoid a training bottleneck and a shortage of warm bodies on the 9.

Passwords:
Just add "aa" to the end of it. Then change it to "ab" "ac" etc. And it will last as long as you live. The advantage is that the base portion, 6 digits, can be used as part of your crew scheduling PIN of 4 digits... erm you get what I mean.

Then PBS can be the exact same, but you make that aa-- it never changes so it's always the same.

Ok, I am going to have to rescind my earlier optimism about the category list...

I was explaining to my wife that FINALLY the category list shows that in Mar 2014 I'll actually gain 1%. My wife was like,
"Ok, but 1% gain in a year totally sucks hey? At that rate, in 20 years you'll gain 20% and STILL not be able to hold weekends off as a narrow body FO! I'm getting sick of driving all three kids to sports by myself all weekend!"

She makes a very good point... Holy Low Expectations Batman! Was I really getting happy about gaining 1% after 12 years??

Reminds me that I was talking to the hotdog guy at Home Depot parking lot this month, turns out he makes more coin than I do! And he doesn't have a capt there critiquing his hotdog making skills, and I noticed he's reading whenever he wants. Plus he's at frigging HD all the time, which is pretty good to start with. Makes...more...than...12year...narrowbody...FO...

Cue all the satirically challeged now posting to quit and buy a hotdog stand.

But, this is not the place for politics and that is the only place this discussion will go. I knew that when I posted. But, I couldn't resist. I had to needle you. :D

meanie....:(

I'm thinking either hotdog stand or a candy stand.

Or you could combine the two, if you know what I mean.

Now, obviously that will only work for 9 cycles, but at least that will give me time to come up with something else I can remember, or maybe DT will FIX IT before I run out of ideas. :rolleyes:

Hey! How did you figure out my password?
