Let's learn from the past and not get fooled again.
You post that over and over again. Can you site a single source. The only source I have ever seen was the company requested it for trip coverage on 4 day and longer trips both domestic and international. We asked for and received two offsets for ALV 15 to prevent job loss which were including known absences in determining when a reserve is full and reducing when a reserve is full to the reserve guarantee from the ALV. So far it looks like we got the better deal!

Exactly why this "good deal" will be gone too. Guys like you.

Any ideas? Buzz, Rocky, Roadkill any of you guys bidding A out west?

I agree with FTB, bring the flying back to ATL!

Seriously, happy for the out-west guys. Nice to see some movement for you finally.
ER B's are rapidly moving into CA seats. There is very little movement from the A position. As Copilots leave they have to be replaced.

To boost our vocabularies and keep our brains from turning to mush, I suggest we have a word of the day. My recommendation for today is the word Ravid. I like this word. I cannot find it in any dictionary, but it does speak to me. Can someone please define Ravid, using your own words, and then use it (powerfully) in a sentance? Sailing, that is a great word. Thanks! Seriously.

RA has been quoted as believing the 2015 contract will end up in complete ravination.

Ravination is not a word. What does this made up word mean?

Unscientific poll... Has any pilot on this thread actually been assigned at trip that took to them over ALV without a YS? Personally, I have not, but I've only done a few months of reserve since the rules changed.

A crew of ravid ER pilots floats into a bar. here are their only options:



So how would you pair this up based on their ravidation?

Is this the "Date it, Fk it, marry it" game? Or in this case, Screw it, murder it, marry it?

I believe those girls fit the definition of 'Rabid' ...not Ravid!

(are those the UT Cheerleaders at the after party?)
