Guys would game that to the max. I can see ways to insure you were never available for a trip longer then 2 days.
Is it really "gaming the system" or just using seniority to shape your schedule to fit the flying that you prefer to do? Keep in mind that 1. Move reserve day off requests are processed in seniority order, and 2. coverage must be adaquate on the day you want to move it to. |
Heck I like that PBS can schedule me for a single day on call; essentially gave me an extra day off last month. I do hate that PBS can do things we cannot.

As the universe is still here, Mary has scientifically proven that black holes (even small ones) do not exist. This just became much bigger than one missing airplane. |

Even if we are talking about this black hole theory, you'd think an experienced flight crew would have navigated around it. Just poor piloting if you ask me.

More data out on the USAIR accident in Philly. May be some interesting lessons learned on the Airbus flight control logic. Close up pics I saw showed both engines destroyed with nacelles ground down to the engines. Nose gear destroyed and fuselage wrinkled. Severe tail strike on aft fuselage. Looks like aircraft is a strike. Must have been a wild ride to get the nose gear, tail and both engines with the main gear remaining intact.

Good numbers however the number you actually need to make a valid comparison is total system block hours when talking jobs. So using the above numbers where is the massive job loss from the contract the forum speaks so much about?
I believe the actual block hours are up about 2 percent which should equal about 100 captains. The union put out that the contract changes would cause a net loss of 100 to 150 jobs or 50 to 75 captains. That number was stated here over and over again as total BS. Some said we lost thousands of jobs. The terms massive and huge job losses were posted over and over again. We should still be furloughing if that was true. |

Sailing? George? Anyone who reads that remote control airplane magazine... Aviation Week and Space Technology? They have airline stuff in there even though they seem to be dedicated to remote control stuff. http://static.rcgroups.net/forums/at...g?d=1241662445 Gearjerk is going to kick my... |
