My first reserve day is the 7th. Should/can I keep my current beard (Joemomma already giving me $hit) or do I wait till the 7th (joemomma's opinion....but she's normally wrong on aviation matters).

Don't want to screw this up!

Keep a pressed shirt near a packed bag ready to head out the door to be in the crew room in half an hour. When they call tell them you need a minimum of 2 hours. That gives you an hour and a half to get the beard off. If that's not enough, check in over the phone while running directly to the gate.

Its not like regular shaving where you can make 3-4 glides per rinse. If you have some seniority and you did it right, the most you will be able to remove between rinses is about half an inch. And its going to hurt. But its a good kind of hurt.

Child's play. There's actually about a 2-3% greater chance that the "big one" (the close to 10.0 one that will make '89 look like a community theatre dress rehearsal) will happen in LA rather than the Bay.

We already have a 5th week of vacation, and we got our raise on Jan 1. 3 months ago.

Our next pay raise is in 9 months. A raise for other employees is unknown.

Our FO's can count on WAY more stagnation. Hope it never happens!
An appropriate widebody fence, coupled with a shorter current category fence, would mitigate a lot of the potential stagnation. Especially if we can grow the widebody fleet as rumored even by a little bit.

I was. I went in the settings and did the "clear cookies and data". So far it seems to be working like normal.

I dont consider these raises. But a majority do.

Apparently that benefit and raise was with no form of negotiation....via what are you willing to give up!

We have to give up the South Island in the move so we are only gaining a few gates.
