We should have a down vote and up vote to posts.

Because the behavior described here deserves a down vote.



But SF, why did that FO allow that guy to do that to him twice??

 

What choice does he have? The senior original FO on the trip is not involved in the swaps.

 

Oh okay I get it now.

No down vote then, somebody can get some glue and put that F-15 back together. I guess the only proper response is you'll be senior one day, no? Isn't that how it works? I get its not nice to do though, it won't be fun when your next trip you're with the guy you jumped and he is ****ed at you. Do unto others...

I've been lucky and seem to average one buy off a trip per month but I also don't bid lca. I've seen that backfire when you get a crappy trip on the PBS award and think there's a lca so you're good only to have the lca swap out. I've also seen the pilot getting oe get taken off the trip. It's a bonus when it happens but otherwise its a trip.

 

Neil trap.

 

He could choose to go find the guy in the lounge and beat him with a herring.

BTW => roadkill is right. Out of base swaps and pick-ups are a horrible idea. It would be a massive job killer and besides, I want to be awarded trips based on seniority, not on who is my Facebook friend.

 

Yeah I went back and looked and he didn't get SLC 73N B he got SEA 73N B so even if he just got a seatlock, which he did, it wouldn't matter because it's a new category.

 

I think that's a teenager MiG (replica) not an F-15 but that's ok, I can't tell a 767 from a 777 from an A330 . I can barely differentiate a 717 from an MD88 and don't even get into 737-X00 series differences. I can tell the difference between a 747 and CRJ.

I think the real beef here is the original senior FO already is kind of senior. The ultra senior FO who is snatching the trip could make this same deal with the guy who is already senior so at least he'd get a good trip out of it, but instead is going to the JR. guy who was going to fly anyway. Now the original senior FO is still flying the original trip, the original junior FO is off on a more desirable trip, and the ultra senior sniper FO is chilling at home. I can see how the guy who thought he was getting the week off might be a little bugged by this situation.

 

Excuse me stewardess, I speak Jive.

Around here we only can correctly identify those military airplanes that were in movies.

Therefore here are the airplanes:

F-14. Thank you Top Gun.


F-14 with Mig 29. Thank you Top Gun


F-16 with Man Spread. Thank you Iron Eagle.


The rest... we do the best we can.

 

• The 737-700 is small, loud, the sunshade is blocked by the EFB mount and doesn't perform like a 757.
• The 737-800 is small, loudest, the sunshade is removed and doesn't perform like a 757.
• The 737-900ER is small, louder, the sunshade is blocked by the EFB mount and doesn't perform like a 757.

The common characteristics are small, loud and doesn't perform like a 757. The distinguishing characteristic is the cockpit noise level. Since the -900 is only louder, it known as the ER.



Since Boeing was saved by Douglas, they have put their top Long Beach engineers to work the "Duude, this thing is loud ..." issue. So far they have discovered attending Manowar concerts prior to flight results in passive attenuation of noise through a process they call tinnitus.

 

LOL!

Jus' hang loose, blood. She gonna catch ya up on da rebound on da med side.

I must also correct you one more time, the F-5 in question is a MiG-28, not a MiG-29.
