You've got genetic adaptations for it, though. Us white folk aren't so lucky!

You'll get your pay rate increase, tsquare. The only question is whether you will fight to help the rest of the pilot group whose focus is not on hourly pay rates along the way. Actually, it's not much of a question. We already know the answer.

For God and Mother Delta, amirite, my man?

payrates... management plant/puppet.

Seriously dude, turn off the echo.

Sorry to interrupt the back and forth bickering, but does anyone know what happens with an F/O that is scheduled for a wide body rotation that is double- crewed (another separate rotation) due to leg length that has the captain is giving TOE to another F/O on said rotation? I assume he gets paid to sit at home? Credit? Thanks in advance...VF

Hard work? Why, the MadDog practically flies itself! (But not necessarily where you want it to go). :D

So the latest weekly update said 32 open 7er slots for new hires and 0 offered on the AE. I thought they had to offer the spots on an AE before new hires

## (# posted)
# = how many were on the posted AE on 18 July
## = how many vacancies left after everyone moved around from the bidding process. Also number now available to be filled by new hires.

Is the F/O previously typed on the aircraft? If not, all four pilots will go since the untyped F/O cannot be trusted to sit with another F/O until IOE complete according to the FAA.

If the F/O is previously typed, then the senior F/O on the trip usually gets offered to be set free with pay protection.

Maybe they were unfilled "backfill" when pilots in those spots left for other openings. Lots of backfilled spots get filled on an AE that were never "posted" that is why you bid what you want and take your chances on every AE.

There would be two complete crews on two separate rotations. My rotation has an F/O getting TOE. Five pilots because it's 2 flights over 12 hours apiece.
