What I find unbelievable is that some come on here and make a blanket statement that all wearers of long sleeves are tools.

Yup.... silly conversation is right. And you totally missed my point about the long sleeves and having them rolled up. I do that in the cockpit when the door is closed, not when in public view. I guess that since I don't have an entitlement mentality, I believe that my employer has the right to tell me what to wear and how to wear it. So I wear the prescribed uniform. I did it in the military, and I'll do it here. It really isn't all that hard, and it doesn't make me look like a fool. (contrary to your belief I guess). It's just a uniform. Just be sure to at least take out your nose ring when you fly. Please.
T, like they said in high school, read the entire question, but in this case read the whole post, specifically that I wear my uniform with pride (i.e. As detailed in the FOM), but I guess that's not good enough for you unless I wear long sleeves. Get over yourself.

To hear you tell it, wearing the uniform as required but with a short sleeve is equivalent to wearing a nose ring to work. You're just confirming the whole "long sleeve guys are a bit off" take. /silly conversation (really this time)

Hey all,

For anyone that may have this happen to them too with the new FAR 117 stuff:

I got a call fro ALPA Scheduling and there is NO recovery obligation for my 100/672 violation.

Happy Days,

Ferd

Wow. I thought. That sounded great.

When I asked him what I should wear, he said that didn't matter, because it was only going to be me and him there.

Well, at least I'm close to the airport.
Yeah. !

Had similar happen this month, but it's not contractual - scheduler discretion. Chances are being recovery available during the dropped trip period there was nothing you could do legally any ways so they waived recovery. Easier for Intl only guys to get that situation. Enjoy the time off

Back to the A/E. What's the reason for the delay? Maybe the fences will get crossed on this one? ; )

Seems like it should only be a quick run of the bids and results should be readily available. Job security for crew resources?

Bottom line -- A big AE + 100 new hires per month = not enough simulators.

They are trimming the AE backfills down to what the training pipeline can handle.

A bit of 3 dimensional chess.

I watched a fascinating biography on Phoebe Cates on A&E. She was actually born Philip Cates and was undergoing a transgender process during the filming of Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

Apparently, she had not yet undergone SRS (sex reassignment surgery) during the filming of the pool scenes and they had great difficulty concealing her male genitalia in the red bikini.

Just kidding. That would be pretty much impossible - but it would be incredible if true.

Yeah, she's pretty cute.
