Wow. That chick with the widget head is HOT.

Extra apcf beers to anyone who can photoshop a similar widget head onto an underboob pic. That would be arousing.

First ask yourself the question: From what bid package/base did that flying originate. Out of base reserves flying uncovered open time is standard procedure for "system reserves" at straight pay. Now go look at the other bases and view daily trip coverage and see how that flying was assigned. If given out as a normal reserve assignment then you have no valid gripe. Scheduling will try and maximize the use of reserves, even out of base reserves to cover trips.

Check section 23 N and O and it will give you the steps for trip coverage. Out of base reserves come before green slips as I recall.

This is an old story, but worth re-visiting. It's about airline CEO pay and their competitive compensation, on the global context. Very interesting.

I am NOT advocating for a pay-cut for R.A. Simply, that the people in the front office (pilots) be compensated commensurate with what we bring to the table, so to speak.

I also like how you left the newly-merged company name on the side ... We would have to teach all y'all how to spell "airlines," however.
We're leaving "Alaska" only on the jets that service Juno. That way, we'll get in. Otherwise, it's Delta!

Rumors of the day!
1. LAX 717 base will open on the next AE
2. Just purchased 4 more 717's......now will have 92
3. Soon we will announce a code share agreement with a ME carrier. (ouch)

Wait and see.

I thought that was SkyWest that you were putting on your jets that (may or may not!) get into southeast!

Are the 717s flyable or parts?
