From a Council 66 update sent just this afternoon: "As of today, 121 pilots have chosen to take part in the voluntary programs; 118 in the 55 point program, and 3 for the early-out program."

I only wanted DTW or MSP 7er. NYC 7er wasn't on my VD card.

I guess that's why?

At times you will be frustrated with the Airbus FMS/MCDU. For instance, if you load the Palace5 in the box for DTW & are told to intercept the airway (rather then go direct DUNKS) then you have to insert SVM, because the MCDU must always have a TO & FROM point...or an anchor point.

Also, you can't line select things into the scratch pad. Overall, it's a comfortable airplane, but it'll keep you on your toes.

Trip was covered at 0140/21. Report is 1730/21. Trip was awarded to a RES pilot.

They sometimes code them wrong. If you feel you were robbed I'd call & ask them.

You can line select some things into the scratch pad, just not anything off the FPLAN page. You can line select useless things like the UTC time...

On the A330 its still Pegasus so you also get to deal with Page Update in Progress and hitting CLR key once too many times and not noticing its still in the scratch pad.

There is no Execute key. No separate button for LNAV or VNAV or FLCH. You fly on a green line and Magenta is a time/altitude/speed constraint.

No bank angle limiter for the autopilot and no slipping for xwind landing.

We shouldn't be surprised when the company cashes in on their end of the deal.

I am not making light of the changes we have all undergone. Mergers are very disruptive events in all senses, new procedures, new bases, new faces, new training, all of it is very unsettling. It is natural that these bids force those unsettled feelings to the surface. I think that over time many of these feelings will diminish.
Yup. The dust is far from settled IMO. All part of the fun.

I wasn't robbed, just thought it was a weird code for a RES pilot.
