Word to the wise 80, always be careful of people offering candy.



Especially schedulers. And 777 Captains... boy let me tell you.

 

I think you captured how younger girls might perceive me, Elliott. In my mind, I'm like filming a white version of the Old Spice commercial, when I walk into a room, but invariably young girls look at me more like your picture. Your very disturbing picture.

It's OK, I married above my station, so I don't need them. Besides I have a secret that I know would make them weak at the knees, if I only let them know:

I'm a pilot.

 

That depends if you're coming back from MAD on the 8th! :-)

I've been looking into this recently too and everything I've been able to find refers to domestic/Hawaii stations. I'd be curious to see the contract reference that says ANY company station. I've dug around and haven't been able to find it.

 

Section 11 H:

1. A pilot will receive positive space coach on-line transportation to travel between the training location and any Company station before and after training and during each duty-free period of 48 hours or more, if sales are authorized at the time of his attempted booking.
11-23

2. A pilot may book travel as Company Business under Section 11 I. 1. in TravelNet at any time after his notification of training, if overbooking is not required. Note one: If overbooking is required at the time of his attempted booking, a pilot may coordinate with Flight Training Planning to book positive space travel on the pilot's desired flight, if sales are authorized at the time of booking. If sales are not authorized, Flight Training Planning will book positive space travel between the pilot's base and the training location, upon the pilot's request.

The booking however will be a coach booking. You will upgrade ahead of all non revs as a PSUP.

 

Thanks for looking that up Sailing. I was looking under DH deviating rules...as usual I was in the "one place", wrong place.

 

The original "Airport" is starting on TCM right now. If you need a few good chuckles this afternoon.

"That's the thing about the 707, she can't read"!

 

I'd rather have Jackie Bisset as my A line. Instead, I get Helen Hayes.

 

Lucky you. I get Richard Simmons.

Now that is just plain sad but true and very funny

 

I've had Richard a few times. Anybody else ever have Juan? "Juan in the rear?" He's LA-based.
