They are splitting the trip.

Default Scheduling Committee

What’s happening with the scheduling committee? The chair was voted out and the vice resigned. Is there any non derisive information on what’s going on?

I suspect that the giant stinking deuce that is ARCOS may have something to do with it, along with unilateral rotation construction parameters by the company and a lack of FAR protection in reroute situations which have put pilots careers at risk.

A bit melodramatic don’t you think?

Enquiring minds want to know. It's not like Bartels is gonna give us a play by play of how it went down.

HR Self Service, anyone have trouble getting on? Chrome, Explorer and even Safari on the Ipad give me error messages. Help a brother out?

Looks like we are back to mushroom-farm management of the pilot group.

Ironically that's been my complaint with previous MECs.

I've only been through a few contracts here, but isn't this rather typical coming up to pre-contract negotiations? Basically doesn't the company "tighten up the screws" by exploiting some of the weaker areas in our contract as a way to build cheap negotiating capital? (i.e. less attractive trips/lower upgrade priority when deadheading)

Just hypothesizing here.

Heads up with more and more 321 coming online at Delta and other airlines. The wake turbulence from this thing is no joke. Encountered it yesterday and had full scale deflection with no response for a couple seconds.
My top three wake turbulence encounters have all been 321s under calm winds

Thanks for the heads up. Please file an ASAP on this, if you haven’t already done so.
