I get your point, but it doesn't apply to re-route pay. Besides, if you want to complain about guys getting paid too many hours/month, 104:17 doesn't hold a candle to what a lot of "players" are able to generate.

I always thought it was spelled playas? I would like to see reroute pay go to triple and that section of the PWA tightened down a lot. As it is now, you are airborne reserve all the time, and ground alert on sits in ATL. It's an F minus.

The FAA should certify the A350 training course in Toulouse about a month from now and then the first Delta guys will go through their training.
FWIW, just heard from a friend who is a 330 APD.

This is good gouge. Coming down the pipe, soon!

I plan to bid the A350 on the first bid. However, I had heard it was to be a separate category. Either way, I'm bidding it.

The decision hasn't been made... at least as of a few days ago. A friend that is a 320 SLI got picked to be a project pilot on it... lucky duck!

There's a 737/320 meeting wednesday, so perhaps some more info comes out then.

Last thing I saw was the next AE will be late Feb to early March. Your guess is as good as mine on when it will really be.

Maddog to Madpuppy is a short course, but it does incur the full 2 year category freeze.

Thanks Hillbilly!

Here's to hoping there's an AE out on Friday so that Seattle will still be "new"! I think I'd prefer the 73n to the puppy, though the shortened time spent on VA is tempting. I'd like to skip out on these last three months of a seat lock!. I have a "new arrival" to my house due this Labor Day, and it would be nice to be all trained up before he/she gets here.
