Anyone know where I can find a PCS help guide? Looking for info on swapping reserve days with yourself.

Thanks

So: The DOJ and US/AA.

Does anyone know if there has ever been a time where the DOJ opposed a merger and it went through anyway?

2004 Oracles bid for PeoplSoft. DOJ lost

The DOJ didn't try to block a merger again unil 2011. They won that one.

Re the backdoor method...maybe you need to prepare the battlefield by getting some booze in her first.

Everyone gets the Ligero access denied page... you just need to keep trying to get in there, sooner or later it will let you. Come on man, you don't get in the backdoor with Ms Delta without some serious commitment to repetitive attempts.

Living in base is a choice - commuting often not.
Well the thing is for me, I live in a base (SEA) and I got pushed out the bottom and now commute again. I could move, but then I'd have to commute to my second job which is here in SEA. Mix in all the family and house stuff, it's not worth it to move for the short term (I hope it is short). So I commute! Hopefully in the next 5-7 years I will be able to drive to work for my last 5-7 years here at Big "D".

Now one thing that kills me is there are 4 guys I have met the last couple of months that commute from SLC to SEA. Three guys could fly the same equipment in SLC as SEA and the other just did not want to be a 320 Capt anymore, so being a commuting 330 FO was a better life? I don't know their full life story, maybe not happy at home so that extra night or two away is great, but I hate that. I am about QOL and hate to commute, but do it with the hope of it being short term. Now if it continues to not be short term, this is not the only job out there. Mind you it is a good job, but not one I'm willing to lose QOL over. (Money is great, but family means more.)

Let's see you man up and take it to the DALPA board.
The DALPA board might get more attention if they changed their formatting. Am I the only one who's flummoxed with the "reply" feature? Doesn't seem as easy as it is here. I have to get my reading glasses out to read the font on replies there. That and I'm easily annoyed with the need to scroll up when I click to the next page. Maybe it's a FireFox thing.
