Heard this week "he was such a flamer I wanted to puke"
Heard last week "yeah we hired some cute young ones but about half are young Fags"
This is 2013 folks, get over it already. And at a little Airline with the initials DELTA AIR LINES. I'm not even going to bother saying, um that's slightly inappropriate anymore. I'm just going to turn your a$$ into HR. Amazing how many left seaters can be all nicey nice when the cockpit door is open and as soon as it closes feel free to go in a homophobic rant. Tired of the ignorance.

Exactly. We are not far removed from our ancestors...We haven't "evolved". Political correctness is just some misguided way to avoid telling people "yes it is your fault". 2013 has nothing to do with this.

Back on reserve for the first time since the "bucket system" has been in use. Couple questions:
1. Do you have to "bid" or put in for any thing with regard to seniority? It looks like the raw value is computed for you, and then everyone gets put in the days avail bucket in seniority order. Is there any way to tell them you do not wish to fly or do want to fly?
2. Seems like if you are senior, do not want to fly a lot and it's not busy, it's a good deal.
What are some "gotcha's" that have come up with the newer system.
Thanks

It really depends on your category, I am in a short/small aircraft category with only 90 pilots, and even though I am senior on reserve I just about fly every day that I am on. Couple that with an average of 5 short calls and your month is full...painfully full. Raw is automatically computed for you. You will need to put a slip in for what short call periods you want, or they will just slide you in where they need you after everyone else s request.
