Ha ha! That very short displacement worked great for you! :)

Did you get to skip training?

Why yes, yes I did!:D (And I got out of a year of seat lock!)

Another way to get out of seat lock is to use Gold Bond.

Seems to only work on the -88 and -9. On other aircraft the APU tends to work, so you aren't "locked" in the seat after a 45 minute flight to CHS.

I'm referring to the pilots I was sitting with during the roadshow presentation on the contract in 2009. There was a collective groan when the profit sharing slides went up and the terms were explained.

During the Q+A session the comments about profit sharing were most definitely dominated by pilots who assured us of two facts - the company would manipulate the "profit" to ensure we would never get a penny of it, and that previous payouts had been a fluke and small.

I like the idea of profit sharing. I like working for a profitable company. I think it makes it easier to get improvements to our contract, even outside of section six. Things like the SOT improvements, especially releasing F/O's when OE is conducting with no recovery obligation are significant.

I don't get the impression that the Donut Dealers think mid-contract improvements are something we should worry about. They push for an "isolationist" structure that ignores the status of the company, the other employees, and the industry around us. I've seen and heard that rhetoric before - from AMFA. Same law firm and same tired message: You deserve more, and if you get tougher you'll get it! That big mean national union doesn't care about you!

Got r done!

Neither the APU or the air hose work on the 90.

Since we're not doing underboob anymore, is this the new thing? Underbelly.

I'll pass.
