Heyas FtB,

The union has absolutely no stomach of ANY sort of watchdogging of the ALPA lawyers, just like they don't want anyone watching the FPL issue.

A resolution to bring in independent counsel to watchdog scope issues failed miserably at the DTW LEC meeting. As it was explained to me, no one would touch it, even after it was admitted (albiet somewhat indirectly) that mistakes were made.

The FPL sideshow garnered far more interest, which, IMHO, is far down the priority list. If we can't count on our "watchdog, flat earther, lunatic fringe" council, then I suspect that we're pretty much boned. What a leadership fail.

Admitting that mistakes were made in the past is a first step, but it seems that we're locked into making the same mistakes.

For every rep that is allowed to remain in their position, who supports the current direction, makes us, as individuals, directly responsible. So everyone look in the mirror and say "shame on me".

Hey guys, I know that this has been talked about, but have to ask again. Due to my own inablility to recognize that Monday is Memorial Day, and seeing as how my Korean dry cleaner recognizes and honors it and will be closed on Monday, I have no clean uniforms.

If memory serves correctly the hotel in Narita will do our dry cleaning, correct?

 

Yes. Just use the dry cleaning forms in your room.

 

Cue new picture of Keeley please. ;-)

Oh wait...that's a Jugawatt. :-)

 

Can you pm it to me?

 

Thanks, how long does it take to get back? I get in late, and leave at 1740 the next day. I may have to go pick up some dryel.

 

Look at the form when you fill it out. I believe its says if you get it in by 10am (?) you can get it back by 3pm the same day. But make sure to check the correct box!!

Thanks guys! Appreciate the help.

Where's the memorial weekend underboob?

 

Speaking of being our own worst enemies... Could hardly believe the conversation I overheard in the pilot lounge yesterday about trip parking. Two 777 FO's discussing how they had managed to score 140+ hour months through trip parking. One guy doing the work of two pilots. Sounded hard to believe, but I guess it's possible if the trips include a lot of deadhead time. Can't wait to hear from the company how 100+ hour months are the "status quo" when we get closer to contract time and self-help options.

 

In defense of the MD88, no engine likes to be sprayed by the fire department while it's running.

But Bar, youre probably the guy to ask, in defense of the 88 and entire DC-9 extended family, how many fatal accidents has the DC9 or 88 family been in that was attributed to the design and not the pilots, maintenance, fuel or what have you and how does this compare to the Boeing and Airbi?
