Thanks NewK.

All the August A's have the X, but when I clicked on mine, I got the "User Authentication" page, but that means they should be out pretty soon, hopefully by 5pm.

That's less than 24 hours from closing!

Nice!

Massive thunderstorm over my house now...going dark!

 

I tried to backdoor ATL 777A's for AUG and got the same thing.

Hopefully, they will be out soon.

 

777A's? Good. Glad you are looking at those. You're senior to me, right?

 

I just got NYC7ERA.....

 

I was looking at the ATL A320 A's and I saw several very ugly (to me) lines. One guy had 15 days flying in a ROW!

He's got 91:30 for the month, but still, 15 days without a single day off??

I didn't look to see if he asked for that on purpose, maybe he did, but still.

There were several lines with 13 days flying, with maybe 2-3 days off, one at a time, sprinkled in the middle.

 

That's PBS. No protection for the junior if all the senior guys want the same thing.

 

T,

It is more complicated than that. Yes we are in a service industry, but we are labor. It is managements job to provide good service and a great management team should be able to provide great service.

Part of what a good or great management team will do includes keeping morale high among the front line personnel. If morale drops because of actions taken by management it should be no surprise to anyone that service will deteriorate in a service industry.

This is one thing we currently have to a much greater degree than our main completion UAL and AMR. Morale at DAL is very high for most of us, hopefully it will remain high, but if management goes into C-2015 and tries to drag it out or feels there is no need to improve Pilot compensation - moral will probably suffer.

As far as the ME carriers go - we will never be able to compete with them because the playing field is not even. They are allowed to discriminate - we are not. I imagine that if we could require our cabin crew to be under 30, smoking hot, and single it might help. But more important than the physical characteristics are the attitudes. Many of these employees come from Nations with very little economic opportunity, these gals feel like they won the lottery when they are hired and they basically did.

Happy workers make it easy to provide good service. Happy, smoking hot workers makes it even easier.

You're exactly correct.

Now what's the goal of a union?

Go look at number 19 on it, he's not too junior, on the second page of awards, and working 15 days in a row, for 76hrs!

Maybe he bid it that way but still...

 

F/O's can wait 72+ hours. UGH!!

Baja.
