Unelss you are flying the 737 in SLC and Frank would be senior to you I don't quite get it.

Lol. You took my words different than I used them. San to Slc just as a single leg flight has only delta serving it w 3 mainline and 2 dci. I meant that leg was touchy. Wasn't including driving elsewhere or tapping phx or las.
And I intended the Dtw comment to be understood as "long flight w 4 mainline which isn't great but it's not impossible". That's my def of doable lol.
Between them all my advice is north county of San Diego and go for lax first then Slc then Dtw. I think I read ur comments and agreed w them. U gots to upgrade ur Internet commuter leetspeak lolz.

The money's obviously better GSWC, but it's so far down the coverage priority, I'm looking for success, not hope...
Ideas?
Actually GSWC pays the same as rolling thunder. It pays the trip you fly and the trip that was conflicted both at single pay. Just no credit on the one you pick up. We lost double time on the picked up trip a looong time ago....

Blame it on the rai...



and say continue as normal.

that's what I'm afraid is going to be the end result, let's hope they opt for hiring large classes indefinitely. Can I get an amen?

We aren't required to check 9 hours prior on the last x day anymore? Usually 3pm if you go on call at midnight.

I understand the 117 10 hr/ company conflict issue but why does that remove the 9 hr check?

Thanks.
