Their writing styles and thought processes are too different from each other. Slow and Alfa (I think) are union guys. Sailing reads like an -er capt from nyc. PG I dont know.

You know I kid all of them. Mainly, because I really do get confused by them and their names, especially slow and sailing. Sailing could come back right now and answer for slow and I wouldn't even know the difference. :o

If I spent as much time as you promoting "kiss and tell" and getting to hang out with Feaux news hotties, I probably wouldn't have time for 87 hours either!:D

I don't know of an independent method to verify 87 hours for 2010 or 82 hours for 2009. You can ask the Treasurer when he's at LEC meetings how they're calculated. Again, they are "all in" numbers (anything that is based on hourly pay, including monthly pay/credit, vacation, training, sick, etc.).

Thanks for posting. Carl is on my "ignore list" again...

Been away for a while ... any rumors on a possible AE this summer?

Carl? Who is Carl?;)

Or the LGA slot swap, almost comical at how long this has taken?
Still amazes me that SWA/AAI were able to get their merger approved in a fraction of the time it has taken us to finalize our deal with airways.

Not that I should care anyway, guessing most of the flying will be going to our regional partners. Eh, one more thing for ALPA to ignore I guess. :rolleyes:

I've made the phone call about this. It seems that annually DAL provides this number to DALPA. At that point, because they are so special certain levels of "volunteers" are given an additional 5 hours. Then, a special monthly bonus of $1,000 or $1,500 is added to the total. (That's to help pay for a yard man or any additional workers to take care of the chores while they are away from home. This part was a direct quote from KR. He even delivered it with a straight face.)

After looking over the FPL report, I have had a change of thought regarding my LEC reps. It seems that they aren't getting any sort of special deal. It looks to me that they may even be getting a pretty stinky deal for all their trouble. But, the permanent volunteers, that's a whole nother story.

SWA certainly does some things better than DAL. That being said, DAL can't run 777's, 747's, 767 ER's etc. with three flight attendants. The staffing needs of the two airlines are completely different.

I keep sayin that! Who has actually seen them all in the same room?! :D
