Not really back. Still out on a med issue. :mad: going on 15+ mos. Hoping the return is soon, but it's not in my hands. As soon as I arrive on the "ave" for training, look for your pay out. (Was planning on using ACL as a bag man.) Or, pm me and I can go with a direct delivery.

Trying to decided on leaving ER. Commuting to the northwest for lots of China, NRT, and CDG was taking it out of me I now realize. Looking for a domestic a/c when I return. Leaning towards 73n LAX. Not having DBMS access makes it harder to figure out where in a category I would be placed. However LAX would make getting there easy as PHX is home. Buzz, you all cover SNA and ONT like the 757 did/or does?

Go Vols, but more importantly, Go Huskies.

Yeah, but its seasonal. When I started out here about 1/3 of our stuff was SNA with a smattering of ONT during the winter. Lately, its been 100% LAX. I think the 75 and 320 are doing the SNA stuff these days. RJs are doing ONT, for the most part. Hurry back!

I've got [Medicare] over $60,000 in melenoma surgeries in the last five years, and a standing three month appointment with Dr. Freeze. Those A and B rays are for real.

Thanks.

The zero additional pilots isn't anything new, that's been the line for a while. FAR 117 basically mirrors most of our contract - the 9 hour flight time per day won't be as useful as you might think since you can't go over it. Also, from what I heard is any less pilots triggered by the 9 hours is negated by more augmentation needed on international runs.

You're off the hook. I won't refer to you as a deadbeat or anything else. It wasn't a fair wager because you didn't stand a chance.;)

I wish there was a way for someone to bet that I couldn't stay off here for 10 years..... it seems that financial incentive is about the only way I can be motivated to put down the crack pipe...

Thanks for the go Vols thing...

Just got an email from council 81 about a meeting in ATL to recall the MEC chairman? Any info or did someone's kid get a hold of a password?

I believe our contract limits us to 8 hrs flying. To use the 9 hrs would require a downgrade in our contract. I could be wrong.

tr
p.s. that's un-augmented of course.

I don't believe that is correct...however I could be wrong. Our scheduling committee is doing a good job with their updates. Expect more and more detailed examples in the upcoming weeks. As it is a lot of this message board chatter approaches speculation.
