You are going to have to tell Mrs. Buzz about your STD. Otherwise, you will keep swapping it back and forth.

We won't be hearing from Buzz for a while. That is, if he survives.

I'm not going to let you or anyone else intimidate me from saying what I think.

I love having the new hires here (both here on APC and for real at Delta). They're great! I'm flying with one today. I think they are all more than capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time and can get their questions answered here during our discussion of "Any Latest & Greatest about Delta."

Good point. New hires need to have the information necessary to map out their careers. They need more than company/Dapla talking points. They'll get "the rest of the story" here.

Like 88Driver, Carl, Jerry, index and others, I won't be shouted down or intimidated by the usual suspects here whose agendas are at odds with line pilots' best interests.

We must demand accountability, transparency, and performance for our dues money.

I thought we told you not to bid Mexico trips! ;-)

People covered the sim stuff, but if you've been off a while you'll need to complete the CQ disks that you've missed. When I came back from Disability they mailed the one I need to be. But if you've only been off for 90 days or so you might not need to.

Thanks!
I just finished 320 requal. Due to a delay getting my special issuance, I went from recurrency to a short requal (6-12 months.) With seat support, I did 3 sims. Two warm ups and a combination MV/LOE. (if you are with another requal it's 4 sims.) Then I did a turn for OE/line check.

Looking back, it's probably better that I had all the practice, and at least I'm up to date on checkrides for awhile.

Headed out tomorrow for my first reserve trip. Back to a line again next month

Contract/Pay question: I was removed from a portion of a rotation due to getting rerouted on the previous rotation(FAR Rest conflict). My time card does not show the rotation guarantee. What's the best way to go about this? Will it get settled out later? Thanks.
