If that is the same one I agree. No one can be in that sort of position that takes that type of position on scope.

Wonder who the reps are going to vote for?
The list I have is;

B. K.
T. O.
A. W.

Are there more?

What does it say about DALPA that there is no info about any of the announced candidates on the DALPA website? At least not that I can find (forums don't count because I don't consider those to be official communications).

Nope you're not.

Merry Christmas!

I'll probably be having another X'mas dinner from the Quik-Trip over by the Interstate about half a mile down from the hotel.
Check... Don't think we don't appreciate it. It certainly takes the sting out of sitting reserve for the first time in November.

My wife is thrilled. She's already on page 3 of the "stuff I gotta do" list.

Good times either way...

OK gang, so long as were talking benching, whats the pay like? Is it ALV? Do I bid, do I not bid? What is the shadow bidding thing all about?

It will be ALV or a pro ratta of ALV.

No worries and no apology required.

Man, either you did not read what I wrote, or I am one colossal poor communicator. Read NewKnow & Jughead's response...I think they get my drift.
Anarchy: a utopian society of individuals who enjoy complete freedom without government.

Sorry, I guess I interpreted your message incorrectly.

You don't have to work every day in the above situations. Remember the contract allows you to refuse any trip that would put you even 1 minute over the ALV as a reserve.

Its really hard to look ahead and no how much flying a category will have. Things can change quite rapidly depending on manning, what season and aircraft mod lines in operation. The 767-4 guys on reserve will get the winter off as a large portion of the fleet goes into Mod for lie flats. They will however get worked to death next summer. The MD manning in the FO seat will change fast with hiring. That change could go either way. Flying a lot when new is not a bad thing however. It gets you off probation quicker.
