I can't find historical data on green slips going back more than a few months. In Sep, for the first time since May, we have positive reserves for more than half the days of the month in the NYC 7ERB. Does this mean the chances of a relatively junior guy getting a GS are slim to none?

While we may well have exchanged openers by then, I can't imagine that we'll be anywhere close to being through Section 6, and so the two issues can remain completely separate, as they should be.

Maybe we should approach the company now regarding the compliance issue and see how that "proactive engagement" works for us.

Right? I have to assume that such discussions have already taken place, but that nothing's come of it. RA will never willingly operate a route on which he cannot make money, so I'm guessing that they've told us to pack sand and that they expect to see us before the arbitrator.

And a reserve pilot no longer has the requirement to acknowledge a trip or short call that's been placed on his line.
I think there is one other instance where CS does not have to call a reserve and that is the schedule check a reserve is supposed to do upon block in from a reserve trip.

Good call, my fellow flamingo. And that too has not changed.

I'm not talking about the reps, I'm talking about the way ALPA operates.

ALPA is our reps. It is those that our reps elect and appoint to do the heavy lifting. It is those that our reps, together with reps from other pilot groups, who elect the national officers.

How else would you have it operate?

Good grief.
Today DALPA sent me one of their "True Headings" that they publish to counter the DPA.
I figure its another boring chapter in the on-going battle between a dying DPA and a paranoid DALPA.
But no.

If you cut through all the bluster and legal subterfuge an interesting tid-bit emerges:

Despite months of carefully worded denials,

ALPA has known all along who hacked the DPA website.

My jaw just hit the desk. YGTBSM. Holy federal felony, Batman!

Here we go again. How much dues money is this going to cost us?
This whole hacking fiasco that I thought was a joke, could suddenly become a serious problem.
