(don't know if they are just old NWA stock).

Now back to our normal gripe session...
Maybe we can get them to switch to BCBS instead of UHC...doubt it.

Did you see in the latest ALPA email that blurb on the bottom about Canada starting a behavioral profile training program for LEOs in the airports? Think it would ever happen here? Nah....

What was the point of that (subtle "and you shouldn't ever call in sick either")? JG's little "commuting is a lifestyle choice for many" reminds me of the same...and I don't even commute!
I still hear that one from time to time. Just means that the individual is probably a liar and has intentionally violated FAR's, probably gotten other crew members ill, who will call in sick if sick, and had a greater negative impact on the operation than if he'd stayed home and gotten well.

NOOP question..

they dropped a 4 day carry out rotation from my schedule. 7hrs for Feb, 12hrs for Mar. The trip no longer operates. It was awarded as a white slip about 2 weeks ago and showed as part of my carry in schedule for March at bidding time. Am I pay protected for both months and what are my obligations ? thx

For those of you betting how long it would take the FAs to get the same commuting policy, how many people had "0 days"?

Yesterday, they got the same exact policy as we did.

I want to say it was 600 RVR when I was there but I'm not positive

Master Ops Specs are on the DAL net. Check your Chart in the Airway Manual. I know it is 500 RVR for some fleets.

That should be an "asterisk rotation" which means it transitions the month. Your trip guarantee only applies to the portion in the first month.

Section 4.F
6. Asterisk Rotations – The rotation guarantee of an asterisk rotation will be based on the
portion of the rotation (as originally published in the bid package) that is contained within
the bid period.

No, I'm looking for EV specs. Trying to DH MOB-ATL. Heavy fog.
