The ASAP program and ALPA being two of these. I'm glad they're having guys ride in the jumpseat. Hopefully, we can find some ways to make our procedures more safe and efficient than they already are. I do think this new practice should have been run by the union first if it wasn't. I totally agree on that point!

A big part of the problem was that it was being done without you knowing about it. I am all for anything that will help, but it needs to be above board and totally out in the open. Hi, I'm so and so and I'm here to take notes on procedures and how we can improve things. Do you have any suggestions. By the way this can not be used against you in any way. How about that for starters. I think the whole thing could have been handled much better and certainly in a much higher professional manner. Had it been done right it would not ba a topic on here.

Word on the inside is that Moak and Co. doesn't want them unless the fences come down and the likelyhood of that is not very high.

Ummmmm....I'm pretty sure getting more 744's is up to the Board, & not Moak. I don't think he gets a say in that.

When I do wear underwear, which is rare and normally only occurs on 6 hour plus east-west bound transcons, I prefer the Brazilian g-string type. It gives me a warm fuzzy right where it counts and minimizes the "canoe rust" at the end of the trip.

Now that is funny!

I do have a solution to the problem. When cleaning the trough, keep at it till the paper turns red or white. Then you know you're done.

Go into iCrew or eCrew. Under Personnel, you can cross reference by last name and first initial.

This has to rank up there as one of the most idiotic statements I have seen here. How many MEC Chairman get a veto on aircraft purchases by the company? Is there some limit on how low people will go to trash Moak or is there no limit?
