Sorry. Drop a 4 day later in the month that has 20/20 coverage on the first day, and pick up a similar trip earlier in the month on off days.

One thing that would be nice to get is allowing swaps if we swap into a "worse" coverage situation. A lot of times I have wanted to swap a trip that was even on coverage for one that was on days that were negative. Still won't allow it. |
All this talk about pilots and parties... I have a great story!
I was at my wife's high school reunion which was at a hotel. I was hanging out at a table enjoying a free beer while my wife was hanging out with her friends. From across the room, I see a guy in a pilot uniform! I thought that was kind of odd. But I gave him the benefit of the doubt and thought he may be on a layover. I decided to walk on over and strike up a conversation. If flew at Skywest at the time, and I didn't recognize his uniform. Me: Hi. How's it going? You a pilot? Him: Yep. Me: Who do you fly for? Him: Skywest. Me: Really? Southwest? Him: No. Skywest. Me: Skyway? Him: No. SKYWEST! Me: (Enjoying this way too much) Skywalk? Him: (Getting frustrated) NO! SKYWEST! Me: Do you mean the Skywest in St. George, Utah that flies for United and Delta? Him: Yep! Me: That's odd... I'm a pilot for Skywest and that's NOT our uniform. It was SOOOO classic! Turns out the guy had a class date a couple weeks in the future and decided to wear a pilot uniform to his 10 year high school reunion. He didn't plan on a Skywest pilot being there! Funny stuff! |
TOTD material there!

Sometimes it was just easier at a party ... a regional guy gets tired of...
"I fly for ASA" "ASA, what's that?" "Atlantic Southeast Airlines" "Eastern, I thought they were out of business" "Yes, I mean no, ASA was part of Delta, but got sold to SkyWest" "Oh, so you fly for Southwest? They're flying out of Atlanta?" "No, we still fly for Delta, but we're owned by SkyWest" "Oh, so Delta? Why do you drive such a crappy car then?" ... and it does not get better ... "So last year you were explaining you worked for Southwest, Southeast, or Delta or something, right?" "You are a Captain, right" "I got hired at Delta in April" "I thought you told me ASA was a Delta subsidiary. Didn't you just transfer? So Wow, you are a Delta Captain?" "No, I am a First Officer" "So you can't fly anymore? That sucks" "That car of yours is getting to be a classic ... maybe you should keep it ...." Moral of the story, we should stop outsourcing. Outsourcing sucks! |

I was at a party once and my buddy said this other guy flew for NW. Hmm, so I go over toward him at some point to introduce myself and within a few steps, I get the "Tool" feeling.
"So, what do you do?" "I am an 'airline pilot' for Northwest" "Really, you are young, have you been there long?" "Not too long, got hired three years ago" (NW had not been hiring, BS Flag up) "What 'routes' do you fly" "Some Domestic, some international." "Awesome. What is the type of plane you fly" "The British Aerospace 146 jet" (now the fun begins) "Hmm, I am not familiar with that, is that the one with three engines in the back?" "No, No, it has 4 engines on the wings" "Oh, the one with the big hump on it, cool. That thing is huge!" "No, this one is just a 'little smaller' than that". " Oh, are you the pilot or the other guy" "We are both pilots, but I am a first officer, but I am just as good as most of the Captains" (Swear to Momma he said this) "Cool, what International places do you go?" "Montreal, Winnipeg, Regina" "So, Canada?" "Yup,….. What do you do" "…….I fly A320's for Northwest" He still hates me. |

If you ever get into a discussion with a MD about who should make more money, just remind them that Doctors bury their mistakes while Pilots get buried for their mistakes. That usually shuts them up!
