I have gotten to know the blue chairs quite well. My favorite game: taking the over/under on how many "breaking news alert" reports come across Fox News each hour.

Of course change the guarantee to 75 hours and that would also work but I kind of like the idea of getting paid for the SCs.
As others have stated if you want SC you should be able to bid for it. If SCs paid 1 hr there would be plenty of people trying to get SC and for those that want to stay on LC you would be more likely to get it.
I also agree with your statement that once a RES pilot is assigned a trip they should be protected against cancellation. And while were on the subject, Leg-by-Leg cancellation is a must in the next PWA. The lack of this has cost me 4+ hours in the last two months.

Just to complicate the issue, how about this... take the difference between ALV and 70 hours, divide it by six, and increase the reserve guarantee by that result each time you get a short call, so if you get six you're paid the ALV.

Run Over by a Train
Interesting article in the 19 April Aviation week on China's rail system. The article suggest that airline growth will slump as the fast lines are opened between now and 2020. Looks like China Southern and China Eastern are in the cross hairs.

Up;
Yes, they want the MD-90's and if they need to retro fit all of them to make that happen, it may be the price we pay. I bet they would sign off on the 717 being differences training!
Makes merging with Hawaiian a breeze.
I have been told by my buds in SEA that Mexicana may want to return the 717 as well. That is just a rumor for the fun of it. Not sure how much traction that one really has.

Up, I know, and I am talking about putting the rest of the 90's in that new category. 25 would create the same issues that the 90 fleet has faced until they opted to expand it.

VPR, I agree. Leg by leg, not by trip. It has cost me a lot in the past too.

Yep. I think each SC should be paid out at 1 hr each in addition to whatever your credit or guarantee ends up being, but it would be acceptable to just increase the guarantee by 1 hr for each SC.
Of course change the guarantee to 75 hours and that would also work but I kind of like the idea of getting paid for the SCs.
As others have stated if you want SC you should be able to bid for it. If SCs paid 1 hr there would be plenty of people trying to get SC and for those that want to stay on LC you would be more likely to get it.
