I was on the Africa trip with Clinton, in fact my last overseas trip with him, but not when I ate the monkey. That happened when I was flying C-141s out of CHS. While we were refueling, the crew headed over the the terminal to get something to eat. The menu said "hamburger" so we all got one. Tasted a little "gamey" but I was starving so I forged on. Later, I asked the waitress what sort of "beef" that was. Turns out, they don't have cows in Liberia, but a ****load of monkeys. I can still taste it. Yikes.

A successful grievance may provide not only a financial remedy, but also a cease and desist with the contract vioaltions....I know which I would rather have for the good of ALL DAL pilots. But whatever floats your boat:D

If there are chronic violations, I agree with you. There needs to be something to stop it. But if it is... what seems to be the majority of the cases.. an oversight, or simply a mistake made in the heat of battle, I think a grievance is more than likely not warranted. ESPECIALLY if it can be rectified right then and there. That is my only point. Go ahead though... file your grievance, I'll call instead and then buy a few more shares of BP... oooh did I say that out loud?

Sir...do you really believe that professional schedulers really make those type of mistakes...in the heat of battle? I've been flying these friendly skies since 1987, and i can tell you that they don't make mistakes, they make assignments to cover the flights.

Call them out. Ask to speak to their manager, and if they still assign a trip which you believe is not in compliance with the CBA, then yes contact ALPA for immediate remedy, but also file a grievance to help your Bubbas out.

Former fighter pilot trying to relive the glory days or just a really crappy flare?

"I'm behind on energy.. I'm just gonna pull back harder. Why is the yoke vibrating?"

What's funny is that all the YouTube comments are slamming Mesa when it was really a Skywest plane. Looks like somebody tried to do a full stall landing in a CRJ700! Too close for comfort!
