[QUOTE=Justdoinmyjob;1891141]They did. It's called being inducted into the Chairman's Club. Anyone who has won that award was allowed to go as a reward. Wanna know why not many line pilots ever get inducted? Because it's other line pilots who need to nominate them and none of us can be bothered to fill out the paperwork![/

Sounds like a good deal...just be sure to call sked within the 24 hours prior and inform them of the deviation and have them sign you in. (they have to do it, you cannot sign in from home or the outstation)

Also good form to look up the other pilot and let them know you will skip the DH so they are not waiting around at the van pickup.

Enjoy some bonus time!

Anybody have the gouge? Thanks in advance..CG
You could always non rev S2 and just check a bag? Assuming there's a seat or two in the back. If you already had a bag checked as a non rev and had to flex to the JS last minute, seems like they would leave your green tagged standby bag on the jet.

You can also check a bag when jumpseating, I believe.

Size of the pot:

When times were tough, and we were digging ourselves out with concessions, we were told that the philosophical reasoning behind constructive engagement (which I am a supporter of) was to increase the size of the pot, thereby increasing our share. Well, how's that pot looking now? Is it twice as big? Three times as big? No, it's TEN TIMES as big. Yet we are still scraping our bowls...

NO MORE CONCESSIONS.

A Cut Above is by far the best, especially their stretch/no iron ones. Their non no iron ones are also good, but turn into a balled up kleenex the first time you sit down in one unless you use a lot of starch. But their fabric doesn't last as long. Don't wash in hot and line dry or dry on gentle if possible. They have the best neck liners anywhere.

Landerwoods will last forever, but are cut rediculously large (shirt sleeves look like pant legs, etc) and you have to do the iron on thing for your wing protectors yourself because its an old USAir holdover thing unless they recently changed it.

But does the employee have to either give forced consent or face dicipline?

My experience exactly. Have found both to be good, but much prefer A Cut Above. Landerwood was good a few years ago, but more recently I made the switch due to some really weird quality issues. Pilling fabric, ginormous shirt for a larger neck size, and most recently, the epaulets were stitched on too far forward, on the front of the yoke instead of centered... that was the last straw. But, they're made in the USA still and I can support that. Hopefully they get their act together.

Second... or third on this one. Well made and well fitting... neck liner is great too. Have looked at all sorts of other brands but A Cut Above is truly a cut above the rest of them.

Hmm.....I tried A Cut Above about 5 years ago and hated the neck liner. Seemed like it rode up high on my neck and was like a turtle neck. I also didn't like their fabric, but I tried the one that needed a lot of starch. Maybe I should try them again since Elbeco just stopped making the shirts I've worn for 15 years.
