Okay I really only expect the first one to happen. The second one is just stirring the pot for the holiday weekend.

Or did I miss the subtle sarcasm?

Do you guys really have that much interaction with those people?
I don't think I've ever met one higher up than a LCA. (I take that back. The Chief Line Check Airman gave me my IOE on the 737. Nice guy. Excellent pilot. Likes German beer. Bought the German beer. We got along great.
)Things must have been VERY different at Northwest.
Somehow I've managed to fly the Widget for 20 years and can't remember a single thing that was particularly remarkable or controversial about any fleet captain we've ever had. They do their job and I do mine.
Maybe its just me. I must be missing something.

PS I'm thinking the fnwa environment must have been very different in terms of the fleet captains. This will all die down when they understand and become comfortable with the fact that there's absolutely zero interaction with those guys unless, as I stated a few pages back, somebody has a training problem. Then, and only then, they "might" get to meet them.

I'm going to go back to reserve *****ing. We had 4 trips in open time starting in DTW tomorrow. They were covered at 8am this morning as usual. 0 trips have been assigned or in open time since. We have 7 pilots sitting short call tomorrow. According to the very company-generous short-call chart, we only need 5. I'll be surprised if 2 short calls are actually used tomorrow.

Well, they are assigning SC so they do not have to pass out GS's.

The only thing I know about a fleet Captain was that the Captain upgrades to the 756 were ****ed about who the 756 fleet Captain was. I was too new to really care, hate to say that, but it was something about early out back to the job and something else, anyways, angry.
