Keep up your statements boys. I just hope none of you heroes who are quarterbacking this accident end up on the other side of this equation someday. But it can't happen to me, right? says the innocent pilot with the little evidence released by the NTSB.
Uh, what?

BTW, if you're paying attention, the NTSB has released a boatload of information in the three days. An awesome job actually.

Did you click on the arrow (right side) at the top of the July Calendar? When I did my bids several days ago, the Aug. came right up, but I was using the Navtech PBS site, linked from DL Net, not Easy Bid. If you are using Easy Bid, it might be a snafu with them.

Not a big fan of Korean Management. Even their Bar B Que is greasy. I am curious to know if the LCA was a striker, or strike breaker. (and while on IOE, this is the LCA's jet, isn't it)

My instincts might be wrong, but I would hope ALPA considers whether the guy is a scab before offering assistance.

Chairman Hirshman has done an excellent job at the NTSB. Do not know anything about the handling of this matter, yet, but she's been a very strong safety advocate in the face of political pressure.
Scabs are more common in Korea than they are here. The union membership is somewhere around 50-60%, and they expect all expats to fly through the strike. Anyhow, the best FU for being ordered back to work was the Asiana pilots donating blood in force right after being ordered back to work.

Anyway, back to the originally scheduled programming....

I'll trade you lives (and paychecks). Poopy diapers, mowing wet overgrown grass (due to working 10/11 days), plus pruning 50 bushes and putting out pinestraw on my end. Now that's summer!

I'm using Navtech and there's no arrow. I've tried two computers...onto the Ipad. Thanks Timbo!

That's what you get for being a yes voter. Everyone else take note.

With 4 kids I can say, Been there, Done That! It only took me about 27 years to get a couple weeks off in July to go diving, but I've also got a 67 hr. month to show for it.

Of course I could be at home and chasing greenslips, but I prefer time off when the kids are off, (before they move out!) to Mo'money.

As one Capt. told me years ago:

The problem with GS's is, you have to show up and fly them!

Whew.. 4 kids. I think I'm going to be good with 2.

I'm restricted by the wife from doing a gs this week. Too many things to do on her list! I guess not a bad thing since none have gone out that I would have gotten...

Apparently ALPA doesn't agree.
