Have fun Buzz.............just remember to make him buy!!

It was actually an enjoyable time this year. I was alone (seat supported) which is nice, and an oral is sooooooo much nicer than a computer based test.

I don't know about the 737, but there was sure a lot more "stuff" packed into the profiles this year. The check itself wasn't that long, but then there was more training before and after the check (in addition to the stuff the day before). After the check, we did some "old school" stuff. We built an approach in the box and then flew a VOR approach with the HSI, heading select, V/S and raw data. Kinda cool, thought I was back in the 9 again.

Nine months won't be fun in the long run, someday I'll be in MSP during the winter. Avoided that all these years.

Enjoy them grits boy,
Ferd

Yeah, looking over the syllabus it looks pretty "fun-filled." I do like the 73N's training group, big picture, big boy approach. I'll make sure my buddy enjoys himself. Also, really glad we moved hotels in ATL. The old place was a dump. Maybe we have some fNWA guys in charge of hotels now.

So what other categories are in MELTDOWN right now? The A320 is ska-rewed right now. No reserves today or tomorrow in 3 bases & trips in open time.

DEF-CON 5!!!! :p

Meanwhile I've flown 40 hours since late May and only 15 so far this month in CVGM88B. Not that I'm complaining, mind you!

I have heard the RA is leaving rumor multiple times from flght attendants and it usually followed by DAY is coming back. Then they mention how the south FAs have no clue how bad it will be with DS and they really need to vote on the union to protect them.

My opinion it is fear mongering to get the union voted in.

Double post.....

A320 Meltdown Is Right!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I'm on day 9 of reserve tommorow. There's an easy day trip I could have been given. Did they use me? Nope....Greenslip #15+ given out instead. Unreal. When I show up tommorow I'll be sure to bring my cape. :D

It's quite amazing to see actually, I've never seen it this bad....

Payback Days question.

I have 4 days of reserve they have to pay me back for. I am off the rest of this month. All of the days I am working next month has negative coverage. What happens to those days if they don't approve my payback days? Will they roll to the month of September?

Thanks. I can't find anything in the contract regarding this.

Hey 73 guys,

I'm trying to watch the walkaround slides on the training link on Deltanet. Can't seem to get it to work. Any ideas? I've tried my PC and my laptop. Be nice to be able to actually see what they have to say.

Thanks,
Buzz

Johnso, I think you guys are flying a LOT of what the 73 guys used to fly. We're down in frequency and you guys are getting hammered. Hang in there!
