If it is less than 12 hrs notice the LC reserve pilots are illegal for it.

Isn't that what SC guys are for? I am on X days. The caller ID also was a 800 number otherwise I would not have answered. Kinda sneaky if you ask me.

The automated IA system will show a ATL number if locally and a 800 number if not.

Depends, do any of the SC guys get dinged by Whitlow. 16 hrs from start of SC to DO.

Also are you sure it was not a WS? Kind of weird they would IA like that.

The regionals are as big as they are because the majors have made them that way.

And you think us regional guys did? You actually think most of us had our educations and jobs handed to us? Wow... I don't really know how to respond to that.
Stop lawyering my words to death !!! I did not say that, you did.

If you keep taking words and paragraphs out of context in relation to the previous post to which I was responding to, this is going to go on forever. Good grief.

What's wrong with you people !!!

[quote=sailingfun;773539]If a junior pilot is concerned about scope he should be just as concerned or more concerned about work rules. The bulk of the job loss at Delta has come as a result of work rule changes that have the average pilot flying 25 percent more block hours then pre 2001. That combined with the loss of almost 1000 FE positions accounts for most of the lost jobs. We had just over 10000 pilots once. We got down to just under 7000 yet we were flying about the same number of pilot block hours system wide. The fastest way to more jobs is to fix the work rules.



Are you kidding me? The bulk? The bulk of job losses came as a result of outsourcing!! Block hour decrease at mainline increase at dci. Express gone,72s,L10s. Sure I agree that workrules had an impact,but the bulk? No way.
This whole scope thing is so important,regardless if you're senior. And when I hear of the kind of people who are running for negotiating comm,I'm worried that all we'll focused on,just like with CK2,is the hourly rates!!
Sure we'll be the highest paid pilots again,but at what expense? Scope

"Just make Vacation pay and credit and the company would have to post one of the largest Captains AE in history. Go back to a real monthly cap and your taking a AE of epic proportions"


Just give mainline the 90 seater and the company will have to post one of the largest captains Ae in history!!

Seems like a lot of people are misunderstanding what you said. Oh, well. Hard to get your point across on a web board anyway. We just read the words you type and respond accordingly.
