Net increase in # of Captains? What document are you using to validate that number?

You may be thinking of an APD. Once it's off, it's off.

Has it slowed beyond 2nd quarter? Agreed on the minimal if any 7ER FO displacements.

He's just posting AE vacancies and not offsetting it with the early outs and "real" retirements.. Just a talking point regurgitation. Most of the CAs that I flew with on the 767 that displaced to wide FO have not made it back to like position.

Either way though, you make that determination.
Off....I just don't see how you or the company can justify a robo call to "fish" for volunteers for a departure inside of 10hrs.

I would tend to think some of it is the lack of 757 retirements compared to what was planned.

Reroute pay? Nothing has popped up on our rotation yet and now we're double deadheading to SLC to pick up the rest of our rotation. Any help?
PM sent.

Thanks for the insight...not a gringo and neither is my wife we both speak Spanish (both from S. America)

We will go on vacation and see if the beauty of the mountains and the beach and the lifestyle make us think about it in a couple of years maybe do it.
You are a Gringo if you have money and come from the US. Theft is out of control in Costa Rica.

I was born in Trinidad and lived in BA and CCS as a kid, my Grandmother was from SJU. I speak spanish pretty close to fluently and you are correct to a point. The first thing you do is find out who the Jefe de Policia is and do your best to befriend him.. Most ladrones and bandito pendejos won't mess with you.

A document straight from crew resources. I tried to post it but could not make it format. Posters said I was lying anyway yet as always could offer none of their own data. I will try again to post. Yea, success!
