You're a great crowd...Don't forget to tip your waitress, I'll be here 'til Tuesday!

Heyas,

Maybe I should just go to the ALPA Committees Contact lists and click on random chairmen whose job begin with 'C'...I'd probably have better odds that way.

C'mon Nu - it was a joke, and a pretty good one at that. :)

Heyas,

One thing is not entirely clear to me. When does this AE thing really take effect for the new categories? As in, when are there going to be -88 pilots flying and bidding for lines out of MSP and when are 777 guys gong to be bidding lines out of DTW?

Does it say anywhere, or do the pilots just trickle into the base and start bidding while people fall in behind them later?

Ferd, in answering you from like 30 pages ago, I don't think we go to Syracuse anymore on the -9. Let's just meet up in Houston or DFW for BBQue. Theres lots of those layovers now. :D

for those of us that are DAL-N, does anyone know if we're getting paid on the 27th or the 1st? I assume it'll be the first with the change over but i cant find a definite answer. thanks

Oh this is going to get fun!

New, I would not be surprised to see that by March or April.

Nu, C as in Chaperon Committee correct? :D

Heh, I know, just in the giving mood this Xmas...

Watchout for the evil robot santa.

Heyas Buzz,

You got that right.

One of my very last trips out of MSP, I was sitting reserve, and I got called out to repo a DC-9 back to MSP.

So, I DH out to where ever (first ride on an RJ...wow, what a piece of, er, whatever), and wander out to the gate and meet up with the captain.

I had noticed that when I put his emp # in the ACARS that it was kinda low to be on reserve, so on the way back to MSP, I ask him:

Me: "So, er, how'd you wind up doing this? Reserve?"

Him: "no"

Me: "Um, ok, time available?" (NWA's recovery obligation)"

Him: "no"

Me: "pick it up on the open board?"

Him: "no...I live next to the airport, and scheduling knows if they need a favor, they can call me"

Me: "um, not to put too fine a point on it, but you know we have 700 guys on furlough, right?"

Him: "I don't care anything about that"

Me: "....."

I will allow our esteemed audience (even the Slow ones) to draw their own conclusions...

Nu

PS And yes, he wore long sleeves....I don't know what the deal with that is....weird

Nah, the "managing expeCtations" Committee

Nu

The guys that wear hats and jacket in the summer are probably worse than the long sleeve guys. If they collate, highlight, and staple the flight paperwork watch out. It is really fun with these guys to say "mind if I see that" and then rip a piece out of the pack and watch them flinch :D

Is this what one would call "irony"? Or would someone with a better vocabulary than mine care to chime in..
