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. ;)

I hear you brother, I dropped from 60% in my category to 0% when they moved the whole category to Seattle and Detroit. That is the deal we struck, parity on day one, pay rate increases, merger stock; it was all a trade to move stuff around to make more bucks for the company. 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.

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

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."

Are you kidding me? The MD88 FMS is a piece of sh!t compared to the Airbus MCDU. There's nothing about the Airbus that frustrates me other than I can't hold it in ATL.

Wow, I see the light. Thanks maddogmax it's all starting to compute. Not a bad gig if you don't mind the SIM.

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