The officiating in the SEC blows bigtime this year, and even if it isn't biased towards Bama and FU, it surely appears that way. And you know that old thing about smoke... fire. I'm not complaining about the Bama game... Ya'll beat us fair and square, but the gators get waaaaay too much latitude in their games. It's wrong. Personally I am ashamed of the SEC for this, and I thinki it tarnishes the conference's credibility. Besides.. the gators schedule isn't top 5 worthy anyway. Hard to argue that really.

But for your comment. He's doing EXACTLY what he needs to do. Put SLive and the SEC on notice that this lovefest isn't going to be taken sitting down. It seems he has some backing among other coaches too. It's just that Lane is the first to stand up and be counted. Come on.. get on the Lane train.. it isn't too late. :)

Tsquare..... not feeling the love for the Gators? Yawn :p

Ok.... I went to the Tenn game. Tenn looked really good.... secondary was great. SEC is tough conference.

On a side note, while browsing through eCrew/iCrew I think I figured out which category is MOST overstaffed.

MSP330 REG LINE HOLDERS

CA 24
FO 43

MSP330 RES LINE HOLDERS

CA 78
FO 90

Either that or they got the REG and RSV numbers reversed.

I know this has been posted before, but this thread is too long to look for it. When going on family leave due to the wife having a kid, do we get paid sick time? I've been looking at the HR manuals and all it says is unpaid time off. I would assume that in most other professions, we would be able to use vacation time first, then sick time. The reason this matters to me is because it is happening to me during the stub vacation year which means I will only have like 4 days vacation. Sitting reserve sucks. If all eleven of my days off were placed perfectly, I would still need another 7 days off or so. I can't really afford to not get paid for a month straight. Having a baby is an expensive time.

That is the same bandaid fix they had with E-Crew was doing all of its weird stuff two years ago. It is something that will need to be done almost every time. It is not a long term solution.

My guess is vacation and no sick time since you are not the one sick.

From DeltaNet, do a search on "Pilot FMLA". A few documents will pop up. I think you don't get sick time for a healhty baby. I also don't think you get to use sick time to care for any other sick person. You do seem to get to use your vacation, however. In fact, I think you HAVE to use your vacation.

This response is marginally better than the first one I received from IT:

"The disconnects are only affecting apple users due to a new firewall we installed."

What a load of manure...

acl65pilot 10-26-2009 05:38 PM

I am not an apple user. I have tried, IE8, Firefox, Safari, and Journey and they all do the same thing.

It is great to get to cast votes for good people willing to do ALPA work. Of the votes cast, I'm particularly pleased to have the opportunity to vote for Dave Nestor.

Dave and others' willingness to communicate openly already portends good things for a more transparent and accessible LEC. They understands the "representative" nature of the job.

I was out of the loop on the controversial Q&A that some C44 Candidates participated in. As this story filters out, I'm a little embarrassed for those who think we need new bylaws to prevent Candidates from communicating their platform freely. I'm not sure what to make to some insiders who themselves complain that their communications have been quashed now working to quash others' communications. IMHO this kibitzing about communications reflects negatively upon those doing the complaining.

I now understand why some have climbed into their bunkers. Too often in our union we shoot our own Patriots. There are some very good people running for Rep positions in C44. I'm grateful for each and every one's capabilities and willingness to serve. Cheers to them!
