The best way to remember is it's exactly how you would express your seniority numerically:
category with 100 pilots 1 out of 100 is 1% 40 out of 100 is 40% 60 out of 100 is 60% 100 out of 100 is 100% Cheers George |

i disagree, I think the numbers will continue to be more tha 5-10 a month. The company as well as the union feel that the avg will leave at 62.5. That point is right now since we're 2.5 years into the change. Also the increase in capacity will make it possible for upward movement and not stagnation.
Time will tell but I think you'll be surprised. We'll see ;) |

Imagine that, American switching to World flight and look what it cost them. I wonder what they know that Ma Delta does'nt.
Nosomo how much extra are your guys carrying around?????:mad: Forgot to mention there is one thing FPS does that Worldflight cannot. Variable cost index over the route of flight. |

For 100%, or you'll take bottom of the list, don't you just leave the percentage blank?
Silly computers. |

Maybe. Every 60p I have flown with has said they are staying to 65. Why? They have no other choice. They cannot retire. Many hope the age gets abolished.

Let me simplify it for you.
1. 2 airplanes fly NRT-ATL. One airplane has to fly on a track message route because of limited fixes(FPS) with and average tail wind component of 50 kts. The other airplane has unlimited fixes availabe(WORLDFLIGHT) and flight plans a random route that gives him an average tail wind component of 125 knots. Same aircraft type with same cargo and pax. Who makes it there faster and burns less fuel???? Do that hundreds of times over the year and what do you save???? Millions of bucks. 2. FPS or maybe dispatch?? has us lugging extra fuel out of the gate. That is my beef. I don't like hauling around 10000-18000lbs of extra fuel it cost money. Hopefully it learns how the 744 burns fuel and corrects this soon. I did the simple thing and called dispatch. Spoke directly with a former NWA dispatcher. There are some issues with altitudes on the A330. Software fix is in the works to take care of that. Random routes are not a problem however are created differently. They have not been using random routes in the Pacific because the Atlanta is a mess. The Dispatchers are having to concentrate much of their effort on getting the flights home from Europe where they have required a ton of manual effort to unscrew the volcano mess. The FPS system will automatically start to reduce fuel loads as it adjusts to the specific ship numbers. As far as arrival fuel the A330 is arriving with about 5000 lbs more since the switch and that will come down to the norm when the altitude issue is resolved on the flight plans plus the ship learning curve of FPS. Same things apply to the 747's. |

I think you will see some retirements after the next AE (not the one on 17 May)
I also think that you are referring to pilots with a frozen pension. I did not want to get in to that fight so early on a Sunday Morning. :D |
