This completely jives with my experience so far as well. And that's a good thing!

Which brings me to my point. Don't pass along a problem. Put some light on it. Let someone (ALPA, DAL) know with names, dates, details and possible solutions. Let your buddies know. Let the accused know. This is our house. Why do we tolerate people pooping in the living room?
Just to point out, reserve FOs don't have the ability to avoid azzhats. It's either get off the trip or use other methods. They can't bid around them.

That being said, I've only had 1 CA in 6 years here that I just didn't get along with.

Is anybody having any problems logging into the Dalpa website? I can log into the main page, but the lec and mec sites never seem to work. I've tried two laptops and my IPhone, all to no avail...

C - 12:16pm, ten hours from when you go on call.

For CS to do that, they have to notify you by 3:16am (9 hours prior). You have to check your schedule after 3:16 for any possible trip. If nothing on your schedule at 3:16 (like you're going to wake up and check...) then you automatically go on LC and the 12 hour callout.

Yep... re-learned that one not too long ago. Let's just say I "announced my presence with authority." Not fun standing in the door after that one.

Amen.

How many decades after we put a man on the moon was it before we invented a viable rolling suitcase?

Talk about misguided priorities.

Come on now, you've had to drink with a few of them at the Football in Dubai, and we both know they were -all- AZZHATS!

(after a few beers, aren't we all!)
