80, it is but it is not hard set for each station. Making it a policy would be like LAHSO distances on the green pages, they could be published in the green pages then. It was a thought that was passed along.

They can loosen up the reigns but I'm convinced that Captains should not be allowed to look down at a checklist or FMS while taxing. If on autopilot I still have to hand the plane over to the other guy then I think its just as wise that A's do the same for checklist items, FMS and performance stuff.
Now, nobody has run off a taxiway or hit anyone while taxing but it's a good practice when we're managing several thousand pilots not to mention the smoothness of operation when verifying critical data.

There is the LOA resolution that directs the LEC Reps to seek a longer comment period after a TA and to have the LOA language, ramifications etc distributed to the pilots to make meaningful comments and questions for their reps, and ultimately provide direction
There is one about 88 pay
There is one about sick time or something to that sort as well.
Also the MEC Chair candidates have been invited to an open mic to talk to the pilots of 44 about how they see our group moving forward if they are elected.
All and all it will probably be a busy day.

The thing that kills me now is that they are saying that beginning taxi without selecting the flaps is what they think will become best practice. No freaking way. Do they want a flaps up takeoff?
I figured guys would continue to throw on the beacon... very frustrating. They need to show this for what it is. Oh well....

Oh wait. Carl already told us: A headache.

Yep, there are three resolutions that will be on the agenda on Thursday plus whatever else guys bring to the floor.
There is the LOA resolution that directs the LEC Reps to seek a longer comment period after a TA and to have the LOA language, ramifications etc distributed to the pilots to make meaningful comments and questions for their reps, and ultimately provide direction

Hopefully scheduling will allow me to attend...

You know, I am watching the video again right now for the 3rd time in 2 days. I can't see where this is going. Seems as though they need some help. What do we get for going into the training department to fight with the people in the training department to get things done in a practical way?

That video is painful. Took me 3 tries just to get through the whole thing it made me so frustrated, angry, and dissapointed.
