Good cheap entertainment: Stand by a full trash can / compactor in T2 at JFK.

Some people come up and are already resigned from cancelled flight after canceled flight - producing a look like, "Even the trash can won't take me."

Others come up and ask after pushing at the door, "What is this thing?"

The most entertaining are those that have reached the boiling point and start shaking the can like a pinball machine as they mutter to themselves.

No. FRMS is approved for only the 777.

I'm sure I'm late to the game on this, but I thought we didn't have to verify our sick time until we were over 100 hrs and or 10 days? Is this something new or are you over 100 hrs sick?

Maybe the guys being assigned SC are doing what dash8widget said a few days ago and acknowledging the SC late. Then they are unusable for SC? Leverage generator.

Ah but reserve pilots take a double hit then, because after absorbing the front line assault of contractual abrogation by memo, they then get to enjoy the same degredated trips as well. I'm just saying that the fulcrum here is reserve notification and leash issues, and the fix needs to address that first and foremost. If we can pile on for other things, great, but we can't use this as a source to "fund" anything else unless the issues causing it are fixed first.

Of course there are many issues that need addressing. But this particular issue needs to first and foremost stop the insanity of a 2 hour leash by memo. We can't end up with reserve QOL less than is already was before and then act like we have capital to throw at other situations. Fix the reserve issues that this has caused first, and then we can talk about any leftover capital to spend elsewhere.

Long call is now 19 hours and nothing on day one before noon. The only problem is we have to lose pay, grieve it and be hassled with carpet dances for standing up for our own contract. I worry we could end up compromising on this in a way that reduces QOL for reserve and throws money elsewhere, perhaps in ways completely unrelated to 117. We can't expect reserves to throw themselves into the grievance machine only later to find out they were fighting for double pay trip parking buddy bid touch drop scams for an elite few.

Likewise, if the company tries to play games with long haul rest facilities, domestic narrowbody pilots shouldn't expect a payday from that either. Reserve issues need to address reserve issues, rest facility issues need to benefit that, etc.

LMAO.

I'm also still waiting for my hall pass so I can go to the bathroom.

No, a) just checking out the system and, b) trying to not reach 100 hours of unverified. I had a minor surgical thing done to my arm and I wanted to see how my doc/Delta would process the silly thing.

"Tis but a scratch."

I did the same thing last time I was sick just to see how the system worked. It took a few days after I called in well to see it as verified in I-crew.
