As a commuter, I just wish they wouldn't assign short call to me on my first or last days on reserve. That right there would be a huge quality of life improvement. I've only gotten long call my first day on one time. That was the only time I was given a long call assignment just barely over 12 hours out. I still to this day request short call every reserve day that's not my first or last to no avail.

Hey you..........LONG body boy:D

Cool, I like them too. They have a real solid feel (by the way the 767 is a real Cadillac, homie likes it a lot).

Interesting that we went back to flaps 5 on the -300. The memo said that AWABS takes tire speed into account, but like you said, you is a haul'en butt at rotation. Don't know, seems like flaps 15 works just fine and we seem to be forcing the issue in the sake of standardization? The rotation/pitch attitude report card is about as worthless as ahhhhhhhhh you know. Guess it proves the printer works?:D You'll like the radios once ya get the hang of them (took us awhile too). I guess the bus boys actually use the full capability of the off side tuning capability vs reaching across like we do. You know, that bus is soooo wide:D

How does it look for SEA? Or am I going to see ya in LA?

Ferd- Flaps 5 isn't so much for fleet standardization as it is for squeezing out every last temp of thrust reduction they can do.

It actually burns a bit more gas derating that much, but the cost they save in engine overhaul far outweighs the burn.

So sayeth the Kremlin....

It would be nice if we could indicate preferences on day/time for short call without volunteering for it. (and something more detailed than am/pm.) Everyone's schedule and life are a little different, and I would think they could stick to the preferences and still have adequet coverage most months. It seems whenever you don't want it is when you get it, and you end up with some weird SC schedules (2 days of no sc, 1 day of SC, 1 day of no SC, 1 day of SC, etc. I'm sure that annoys the hell out of the commuters to have SC, no SC, SC.)

I also think the voluteer airport reserve is a good idea. I'm sure a lot of commuters wouldn't mind spending 5 hours at the airport vs a hotel or crashpad if they're getting pay credit for it.

4. Initial line bidding will close at 0800E on the 12th day of each month.




FTB, your friend.

Question from a friend who is among the one or two ATL M88 B's that holds a line, the remaining 459 are on reserve :D:

do you know when is the cut off for trading a trip is so that is will not count for next month's pbs run? is the 12th when bids close or do the running bids continually look at the trips on your schedule until it publishes final schedule?

Does anyone know?

? For LAX peeps
 

Searching the LAX CPO section of Dnet and can't find the location of the new parking lot. Can someone point me towards it?

The real problem comes from the SUPER PREMIMUM WIDE BODY FLYING. The d**n cockpit is to wide to have just one copy of the release, besides you always get the capt that hogs the darn thing, hence a second copy of the release for the FO so he is not always struggling and stretching his arm out to get at it. We just can't train our captians as well as you south guys can.:D

I miss the trop, great stuff for staying outta the bumps where is it now?????:eek:

It's on the page with the enroute winds at altitude.
