"Freeze gopher"! (You get that one?)

Hotty Toddy fer sure. Round the bowl and down the hole, roll tide roll.

oh, and GBO.

He won't be faced with making that choice. That's why he doesn't care.

I don't buy for a second that the company doesn't want CDO's. That's why DALPA is pushing so hard for them. The small group of fNWA pilots who want them is just an excuse.

I guess the CPO can tell me I'm "like a bunch of old women" when I refuse to sign the release to fly fatigued. :rolleyes:

This sounds like a five year old that is going to hold his breath. Sorry, but http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV...,67,98_AL_.jpg

sailing is right.... I don't want the damned things either, but getting this spun up is ridiculous.

are you serious sailing? I rarely come on here to complain usually it's a positive note and you have to chime in and tell me I need to stop whining and pick something else. You are one of the kings of whining and you're going to tell me what I can and can't say on here? who died and made you king of this forum?

This. Just don't sign the release. FOs too. We both sign now.

Show me some posts where I whine. I know of one recently about the poor high hot performance on the bus. The above post was however not directed at you but at the never ending stream of CDO posts. Note that I said you guys. Your post was the last in the thread.

Probably not and I put no way on CDO's in my survey. I do however doubt they are nearly as fatiguing as some of the international we do. Nothing like a 12:30 AM body time wake up in CDG to ride a bus for 1.5 hours to then sit at the airport for 2 more hours then depart for CVG at 4:40 body time. Might even get hit with a 2 or 3 hour delay and have been up all night before you depart.

Leine, I haven't heard back from you. What did you find out about CC being on FPL to organize the ALPA BOD golf tournament?

Not whinning, not anti-alpa, just venting on a public forum that I will vote no regardless of what DALPA brings in a potential TA if it contains CDO's.

Having not had the opportunity to sit in CDG waiting for a hotel room or a van before going back for a couple hours of rest and a movie while at cruise, I can't comment on the fatigue you must have to endure. But having had the pleasure of multiple BHM, HSV, GSO, SDF, CMH, CLE, ect. turns on reserve on multiple NB's, I can safely say that CDO's will become a safety concern for those pilots forced to "hack it" over a prolonged period of time.

I'm sure you've done your share of multiple short turns as well..we're just more likely to have to fly CDO's if they become reality in the near future...thus, the whining.

War Eagle!

Not blowing you off. I've had CQ the past 2 days and haven't had a chance to talk to my rep. On the way to Auburn right now to watch the Tigers win so it will probably be Monday before I can get back to you.

Have a good weekend.
