I disagree that they hold the weight of an APD.

If the coverage is 'black' and not 'blue' then PB days are not even usable that month.

For several months now, PB days are not usable on the 717. Sure, great to have for later in the year if the reserve coverage catches up, but definitely not the power of an APD for dropping something that sits on important days that someone wants off.

Thanks.
Another smart thing to do is load up your bank on FO pay and then take it back at captain pay.

Harwood's reaction was quite amusing on the MEC Comm page. What a sore loser.

Now 37 additional A321s possible. How can this be without hanging a contract vote in the balance?

Airbus close to selling 37 A321 jets to Delta: sources - Yahoo Finance
Easy, the company does not expect a contract for several years. They have put out at the roadshows what the fleet needs are and so far they seem to be following what they said. Once these narrow body orders are done the next RFP will be in the 2018 timeframe to begin the replacements of the 7ER's around 2021.

Perhaps, what % will the next profit sharing check bring?

Your satire/sarcasm detector is in need of repair.

Says more about the character of the individuals from the former regime. Openly hope for the current MEC to fail. I guess the "rocking chair" didn't weed out that character deficiency (TIC).
