Ha, you were too fast. I has just started naming off the awesome overnights. I think the longest overnight seemed to be like 12 hours.

I think we figured out that we, as FOs, got paid $2.25 to fly from IAH-EFD/HOU. figures the FAs made the same and Captains probably $4-$5. That was for the flight time, you could double it for block time. :rolleyes:

Eggggs actly. I lived Maverick's nightmare... VRC50 in the RP. Flying Herks (cargo planes) full of rubber (whatever) out of Hong Kong. As I watched Kai Tek falling away over my left shoulder, I wondered "How is Maverick enjoying the Ready 5 at Gonzo? Yeah... the author of THAT line had no clue.... (But it did make for good screenplay) :cool:

Anybody remember the Gems at the Cubi O club?

Not sure if this has been posted before. I want this to be a learning lesson to the management folks reading this thread. It isn't meant to be divisive.

My first reaction ... WOW !!! WOW WOW WOW !!! This guy gets it.

Okay, so the British have revealed the first ever autonomous stealthy Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle... autonomous? So at best they've just written the next Bond movie plot, at worst, they've made the Terminator come true!

So one day we should have the "heavies" vs the "fighters" vs the "machine".

Question, about sc. Say you have 5 days on RES. You have SC today but you're given a 4-day tomorrow. If you look on the res avail list you now show as only being available for 1 day. -?- But as we live by the motto of rob tomorrow to pay today, aren't you really still available for 5 days, such that if a 4-day pops up and they need you then you're doing it. Just curious.

You're correct Homer.
Unless they take you off short call and put you on assigned rest for the next day's trip.
I've had that happen.

I've come to a few conclusions about NWA flight attendants. Remember, there are always exceptions.

1. MSP flight attendants as a whole are the worst.
2. The longer the flight attendant has been with NWA, the worse they get.
3. The older the flight attendant, the worse they are.
4. The flight attendants that are married to pilots or dating pilots treat us the best.
