More money more time off. That should be the goal of any contract but we've long since lost sight of that.

There is virtually no difference between a lineholder WS'ing and a RES who is full YS'ing.

Great point. And going further, any pilot who flies a green slip is hurting every pilot on property because if people didn't fly greenslips the company would be forced to hire more pilots.

Or they are deciding what is best for them and theirs under the PWA.

Any word on a thaw in allowing pilots to sport a well maintained beard/goatee? I've been on vacation and damn it, I've grown fond of the scruff.

You ever white slip after hitting the ALV? Thought so.

I am surprised no one has challenged the company on this issue. Once they changed the rules to allow beards and assorted other styles for the gate agents and flight attendants I don't believe they can set a different appearance standard for other public contact employees.

Do the European carriers that allow beards have different O2 masks?

No. But they also don't live like it's 1950 either.. They have updated their rules and regs to keep with modern times, beard/ponytail included. Take cockpit naps for example!
