But the rule was created by LaHood. How it could be a failure?? ;)


Did you see this moron's next quest? He wants to eliminate the use cell phones while driving, not just texting, but cell phone use period even the use of hands free devices. :rolleyes:

Deleted..........duplicate post.

Eliminate cell usage while driving?? Dang...LaHood is way dumber than I previously thought :mad:

He's probably jealous because he doesn't know how to use a cell phone.

Hey, I have a quick question for you contract experts. My conversion date for the May AE is December 1st, but I won't begin training until the middle of December. The question is: Do I continue to fly in my present seat/base after my conversion date, or am I benched until training?

Thanks. I tried to decipher the contract, but it still wasn't clear to me.

Are you sure that you have an actual conversion date, or just a projected conversion date? My projected conversion from the May AE is also December but no hard date has been given yet.

If you have a hard date than I believe you are not required to fly after that date in your current aircraft.

Yep, there is the trick. They have not assigned you a conversion in DBMS all that list is, is a best guess, so until they actually assign you a conversion date you are not converted. Now the latest conversion per the AE may come up. If you are past that date, then you are converted by default and sit at home until training.

Whoa,
Can you put that into layman's terms for us FNWA types. I was under the impression that they only had until DEC 1st to convert us from the May AE.

I am going to the 320 with a Nov "Projected" training (not happening) and a Dec conversion. I have not seen anything on a projected Conversion anywhere (DBMS or otherwise). Everything I have been told is as of Dec 1st I am off until I go to training. Is this not the case?

Thanks for any clarification for those 5000 of us that missed Indoc

Vol

That's what I thought too, but it appears that we got some bad gouge!

Anyway, thanks for the help guys. Looks like I get a little more de-ice fluid for my coffee in December!
:D

I do not have the AE in front of me, but you are correct if the Conversion window ends Dec 1, 2010. If you are not in training you are off. That is the latest date one can be converted on that AE.

I was also discussing pilots that have planned conversion dates in the middle of the conversion window. It is "planned' Until it shows in DBMS it is not official. That does not hold true if you are not converted by the end of the conversion window.
