Question for the 320 pilots:
When you go through the 320 initial training do they give you the cockpit poster?
I got all the manuals, but there was no poster. I like having them besides the pictures in vol 2.
Thx

168 pilots on the MSP 88B category list for January - projected to have 90 lines. That puts the bottom line holder at about 54%. Awesome
Of course, it's been this way since the base opened last march - and I know that a chunk of those 168 are still in the training/OE pipeline - but enough already! I sit about 70% and only got a line this month because so many senior to me bid reserve to get holidays off.

Can sit long call from home?
Reserves never fly?
Can get rid of the trips for blockholders?
Can get extra days off for reserves?
I'd say 8% of reserves and 89 hours ALV is a lot worse! You wouldn't believe what years of that did to people at my previous employer!

Anyone gotten polled by DALPA yet? Seems like a real quick poll window. (Closing on the 6th)
Wonder if they need input for a early contract offer.........

They did when we were just NWA. I'd think they still would.

No, they just froze their pensions as opposed to terminating them. I wonder whose retirees are happier? 
On that note I think the one of the biggest things we can do to move our respective careers along and all those 60 + out the door is improve outrageously expensive retiree medical plans. I hope if we offer another PRIP it comes with medical benefits to 65 and we'll all be moving up a seat.
Pay raises are a must in the next contract, but a higher paying seat and career progression will net you more in the long run

Yep. A complete re-design of the 737 will take more than 10 years. About the best thing they can do is re-open the 757 line and hang GTF's on that airframe. Making the A320 15% more efficient makes it a viable transcon airframe and would allow us to have an all Airbus domestic fleet. That could save us alot of money vs. having a domestic fleet of 5 different types.
