Speaking of Hammerheads ... that was a pretty gentle one in the Pitts. I'm still not admitting how prop seals got torn out of a T-34 ....

Always enjoyed Mike's performances. Watch his first vertical run.

Heck of a nice family. Goodyear sponsors some great events. If you ever get invited to one, it is not to be missed.

I remember a 10% pay raise on signing, which was pretty good considering the post 9/11 negotiating environment.

It was a 4.5% increase 1 year after 9/11 then another 5.5% a year after that. Cumulative 10.25% over 2 years.. Then came the 15% cut 12/2004 followed by the 23.9% cut 11/2005... sigh....:mad:

It was a little aggravating to fight two hours of rush hour traffic to get in, but even more so if you had to commute in ....

Buck.... just put in PBS avoid LCA..... there will no longer be that aggravation and they will get thrown down to the less junior folk:D

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy ... this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night says the MEC has provided no direction on C2015 yet. The thought of a C2000 (circa 2004) pay scale has been floating around because of it's political value and the affinity for C2K pay rates as a litmus for "success" in some circles. So, this friend of a friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend who heard from this guy ... this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night thinks it is that just got recirculated and is wafting around the jumpseats.

That is correct. Gave 10% then took 40% a few years later.

Michelangelo worked with oils, ink and marble. My craft is simply the avoidance of anything that could be called "work."

Don't we need a Delta sponsored study of springtime aerobatics in a Extra 330? Maybe for upset recovery training or something?

PWA is very vague on reroute pay. Does anyone know what triggers RR pay on a domestic rotation? Thank you.

While we're asking for Dr. rec's anybody have a good regular doc on the southside (Fayette/PTC/Newnan)??

Not necessarily an AME. Just a family doc for bloodwork, general once-over, etc...

Rerouted to release later than 4 hours from original sched OR same day, whichever later, AND not for a reason beyond the company's control(airport closed, mx on your a/c, weather) = reroute pay. Some exceptions I'm sure....
