Ok, Guys (and girls).
The system does work, I got the days off that I needed to attend her graduation. A couple lesson Learned, 1, (probably my fault) when you put your OE off day requests in I crew, they are only valid for the month you put them in. So if you put them in for say 16 June but you do it in the May window, which it allowed me to I guess, you must also put that request into the June Month when that window opens up. The Scheduler only looks at the current month and it drops out when the next Month starts. IE my May request for xx Jun dropped out when Jun started. 2, The Chief Line Check Pilot is the go to guy on this, the OE scheduler works for the CLCP, not the Fleet Captain. I got the day off and they gave me a PD for it, which is fine as I was not trying to get paid for a trip that I couldn't fly anyways. Bottom line, watch that OE scheduler like a hawk, be proactive, and then when it all goes to shxt anyways, the CLPC is the go to reasonable guy. And yes I will be critiquing the whole thing, so maybe someone will finally listen and change the process or the individual involved in the process. Thank you for the insight as we all know OE planning is a nebulous process sometimes. If you were referring to a particular scheduler (no names) that perhaps dealt with TOEs, I am surprised they are still doing this particular job. There was one in the '08-'10 time frame that cost the company a lot of $$$$$. Pilots sitting around getting paid to grow beards. We like. :D Delta, not so much. :mad: Just, maybe not like this though. It's not really, let's say, fashionable? http://www.libertynews.com/wp-conten...hl-700x393.jpg |

Oh man! don't get me started......
If it gets me started, you are definitely getting started. The more that comes out about this, the worse it gets. Idiots! |

Ooohhhhhh. I figured you'd say that.

When every member of a guy's unit wants him thrown into Leavenworth, that's pretty much game over. What an incredible miscalculation. |

Hey Manager,
How's the jet and the line treating you? The aero plane, well: Previous post from someone else: The 737-800/900 isn't as awesome as I thought. Now if mainline only had the big EJets at mainline, with mainline pilots.... My reply, regarding the 73n: No, you are absolutely right. It's not. I recently left the 757 for the 73n "family" Here is how I see it. 75 is like an extraordinary, classy woman. She looks great even standing still. She is also obedient, graceful and very worldly. Kind of like a prima ballerina assoluta. If you ask something from her, she complies, and she can do most anything you can ever dream of. The 757 is quite, roomy and is civilized. Landing a 757 is as satisfying as it gets. One can still coax it gently onto the ground and easily stop in SNA before the end without wild gyrations and excessive deceleration. That is what eight wheels, fantastic brakes, and an exquisite wing that provides exceptional low speed handling characteristics provide. The 757 is grace defined. The 737-800, and the miscarriage of an attempted offspring, the 900. First of all, they are like argumentative and defiant women. Ask it to fly a particular speed, good luck. "Make me!" They are untrustworthy and will constantly work against what you ask of them. They are loud and brash, much like women who constantly feel like they have to shout and raise the tone of their voice. They are like the older woman who has passed the cougar stage and are spiraling on the way down. Their day was in the 80's. No amount of Botox, filler, or silicone can mask this fact. One look at the continued overhead and the recall blunder decades after the introduction of EICAs exposes that. Landing this swine is worse. The highest approach speeds ever for an aircraft that have leading edge devices. There is no smoothness and finessing here. You have to be firm with this disobedient troll. You must slap it around and assert yourself. Sometimes choking this airplane out slightly or perhaps a careless inadvertent cigarette burn to bring it in line. It must be firmly landed. It must then be diligently and assertively stopped with every ounce of reverse and every effort on braking. Particularly if wetness is involved. You will always see the end of the runway on takeoff or landing. Not so with the 757. Oh, and be careful cause this airplane bruises easily on her a$$ and you'd never want to be involved in leaving a mark there! Finally, this plane has no stamina or strength. 900 can't climb. 900 can't do range. Thanks Boeing. Welcome to the replacement aircraft for the 757. http://cineplex.media.baselineresear...96637_full.jpg |
