I do! I enjoy polishing it on layovers.



Pilots with valid IDs have tried to carry guns trough screening. Pilots with valid IDs and credentials have left their authorized guns in public areas, INSIDE screening. I think those lapses in professionalism and attention to security have helped make us more suspect than we think we should be.



I don't understand that reasoning, but I understand your frustration. None of the public transgressions have been my fault, yet I'm an occasional gropee.

Since I'm in charge of my mood and my attitude, I refuse to let a $8-an-hour Blue Shirt change it.
Try more like $23 an hour blue shirt.

As Carl said, it might be location dependant.
Maybe, but I have seen it a few places. I guess it makes sense if other "by-pass" at a location they can too.

Default 66% voice fear about flying on regionals

The major airlines began relying more on the smaller carriers as the recession deepened. But some passengers have become increasingly worried that the smaller carriers are not as safe to fly as the large airlines.
...
During the hearing, Roger Cohen, president of the Regional Airline Assn., defended the smaller carriers, saying they adhere to the same safety standards as the big airlines. His trade group represents 31 regional airlines.

"As passengers expect, regional airlines fly under the same gold standards as the majors. There is one level of safety," Cohen told the safety board.
...
But a new survey conducted by a business travel group found that 66% of corporate travel managers say the business travelers they represent have voiced fear about flying on regional carriers.

What's more, 80% of the business travelers avoid turboprop planes primarily because of safety concerns, according to the survey of 212 corporate travel managers, travel agency executives and others by the Business Travel Coalition, a trade group in Pennsylvania.

Also, 63% of travel managers said their companies had policies that let employees avoid flying on regional air carriers even if it would cost more to book with a major airline, according to the survey.

Maybe? But for a head count would this above be a bad thing because now the 767-400 becomes one category with the 7ER and disappearing 767 categories. But over the long run isn't it worth it?

Not to unlike another plane in the fleet that may get this work over.

OK, here is a question. I am a RSV pilot. I did a trip from my base and back. On the way back, I got an acars msg asking me if I would do another flight from my base to IND and dh home on an X day. Hopefully that makes sense. I said I would do it, because I wasnt going to get back home until 12am anyway, so why not fly into my X day and get back home early the next day. So, the question is what do I get for saying yes? On my dbms sched under OR it says RS and there is no indication of me getting my X day back, so I just want to know what happens, Thanks

Oh crap, they can see that?? Ah, I'm just cold this morning that's all...... Now if I hear someone yell "female assist" after I set that thing off....then I'll be ****ed.

See how they code it and or if they move your X day. If not you just volunteered for a yellow slip and will not get your X day back.
