Is there cq number 4 out. Received a pop up about needing to complete. Did not see it on fleet page.

I think you need to realize that you have some special status and that you get attention the regular line pilots don't. I've been here ten years and never, not once, have I heard anyone getting a call about an FCR they filed. The most I've gotten is a note in the FCR reply area of the website saying yes, that is a problem and we're issue revised information.

I think we all like the operation to run smoothly, but when we see issues continue, even after FCRs sent off, and sent off and sent off. Well - other than safety issues, I think FCRs don't do much. I still file them but jeeze, how many FCRs have been filed about the Surface which is a steaming pile of crap. Yet we still use them - perhaps they are on their way out, but someone higher up decided that's we're using the Surface so we'll ignore FCRs.

Unfortunately the age of the interweb has made society believe that everything can be fixed with a click of a mouse. To that end, no, SailingFun does not have any special status (I don't know him from Adam), but I do know that every FCR is read. And every FCR written about the Surface is actually read. Delta is a data driven business, and if an FCR identifies an issue that relates to operational safety, is written well, and a response is requested, and it is seen as something necessary to reduce the impact to operations, then anyone may actually get the call that he (Sailing) has received. My one FCR I've written caused a green page change as well.....

FCR's about the Surface have worked, and they know it's a POS. We are getting new EFB's, but those types of contracts, funding, delivery processes, etc., take time (and more than a mouse click).

BTW, I am a nobody also but have an understanding and experience within large organizations and the associated timelines. Just info, and attempting only to provide a reasonable perspective.

Still skipping out on the basic acknowledgement that our training pay is well below or at the bottom of the industry? I know you like being a forum warrior and spreading bad info, but it would be nice for you to own up to it here and there.

I just don't see that with the way we structure shadow days and payback days. I make a killing on those. We also convert to higher pay rates sooner than some airlines. Some don't convert until IOE completion. Daily rate may be lower but overall pay is higher. Your mileage may vary. Mine has been high!

Anybody else unable to get the calendar to load in NavBlu?

On a related note, I had shadow bidding last month and picked up a big carry out trip. I don't have any credit loaded this month, is that a call to CS to fix?
