You really know there is no news and nothing to B1tch about when we are complaining about frequency of landings.
AS mentioned before, what is with the Open Time? Wonder if it is a good time to put in a GSWC. Seems they are upgrading, putting a date in now brings up a calendar.. that new?

 

Fly the leg or ride the leg. Don't matter to me, they pay me the same either way. One slab of concrete looks just like another.

Nu

 

Maybe I am dense. What "other" one are you referring to, not including any local ones?

 

Perhaps Wings Financial. The old NWA CU. Top-notch folks and great service. No complaints after 18 years with them. I believe you are eligible for membership if you've seen an airplane once.

 

I can't say enough good things about WFCU. they have been absolutely superb for customer service, and loan rates. Their savings rates are competitive. The only downside is if you don't live in MSP or DTW, their branches are somewhat limited.

 

The good news, Delta owns 49% of VA so more profit sharing!

No wealthy wife. I see quite a few FOs on the west coast that have very successful side businesses... much more than I ever saw in my 23yrs in the ATL base... must be a left coast thing!

 

I always did the 1-2-2... thing when I was CA. It broke it up so you didn't see DTW, MEM, and MSP the entire trip!

As far as the first leg, if it was a brand new guy (very frequent), I would take the first leg to set the tone. If I'd flown with them before and knew they were good stuff, I'd offer the first leg up for their choice.

A lot of guys on fifi are the same way... I like it!

 

Exactly. I've been trying to understand the last back and forth. Who cares. You don't get paid more and the only takeoff and landings that get graded are the really really bad ones.

 

Seems a little lopsided. Am I missing something?
