Nope, not the 763. The 764 thru 747 same at UAL. 764 thru 777 same at AMR. AMR would pay 747 more if they had any. Unless I misread it. Hey, nice to have some new hires. I'm kinda for banding. CIAO OFG

My freeze isn't up until 20 Apr 15. I was on the first bid. I'm not sure any first bidders could bid on this? Nobody left that I could tell.

I get it that just a few years ago, you were having to worry if you should tell everyone you always wanted FWIC and were happy to put in for that unaccompanied remote so you could compete while simultaneously completing PME and AAD when what you really wanted was just to go ops-ops and finish your career in the seat.

Step 6.9 of the recovery plan: bid what you want, and want what you bid.
It took me 5 months to realize it was okay to have fun without looking over my shoulder.

Some guys got the bid off of the 717, senior guys.

Maybe so. There were a bunch who didn't have seat locks due to displacements. I thought that this was the big flush of senior Captains, but nada so much. Must be those JAN layovers.

The real problem was that all the pre-and post BK agreements that eviscerated our pay so much that guys like you never knew or realized that we had actually brought the 757 pay up the way we did.
I don't see your point. Just trying to get a widebody paid like a widebody. I'm never going to fly it so ......

Mike, did you read the dates at the top of the bid award? It may have been advertised as a 365 bid, but the dates at the top show Apr.1 2015 through Jan. 1 2016, which is only 9mo.

As they said, bid what you want, and don't come crying when you get it.

Does anyone know if its possible to put chrome or Firefox on the EFB? Thanks. E
You can't run native Windows programs on Windows RT. Sorry I'm not the bearer of better news. That limitation will be eliminated with the next Surface we get.
