Correct. I think said pilot is a DTW 320 FO.

So sad I'm not working. :p :D

Ooh, goal for contract 2012, enable reserve pilots on 4th year pay to afford coach tickets on the airline they work for.

Newly released internal government documents, obtained via the Freedom Of Information Act, reveal that the TSA, and specifically the head of the Department of Homeland Security, “publicly mischaracterized” the findings of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, in stating that NIST had positively confirmed the safety of full body scanners in tests.

In the private email response, NIST stated that the Institute had not, in fact, tested full body scanners at all for safety, and that the Institute does not even undertake product testing.

Under the FT/DT proposal as written the max International SC would be at about 16 hrs with 22 hrs from the start of SC to block out as the max.

If published as planned we could see up to 450 new pilots needed in our current operation. There will be some gains in staffing and some losses in staffing as a result of the FTDT, but overall a net gain. It should be out in Aug.

Oh, and the biggest increases in staffing will come from the two week moving average duty limit. That is going to be a paycheck killer for the pilots that WS and GS like crazy. With the limit of 68 hrs in a two week window, we will be looking at a lot of the flying that is currently being picked up, covered by reserves due to the fact that most will be at their max pickup limits.

It will be interesting to see what the final ruling is.

Wow. So the TSA just flat out lied to the traveling public. Bald faced, flat out made ****** up. Terrific. My new favorite TSA acronyms:

Tub Stacking Association
Thousands Standing Around
Talk ****** Association

I had a lot of really qualified buddies who didn't get hired, and who knows why.

Just remember everything happens for a reason. It probably means you're off to bigger and better things. (someday)

Carl,

We may not agree on a lot, but we agree on this. What a joke of an operation, & a waste of $$$!!! :mad:

I would tell anyone, no matter what company they're going for, to go to an interview prep. I've had some friends tell me "they just tell you what to say ... you're not being true to yourself and who you really are .. if the HR people find out, you will not be hired... yada yada yada" Unfortunately, those individuals are still stuck in miserable places. Coincidence? I don't know.

However, after my interview prep, I felt much more relaxed and prepared for my interview. Even though my interview prep was geared towards DAL, 95% of the information shared was something I could use during any interview situation.

I went to Air Inc. for my prep. But more importantly, the gentlemen who did the prep, was an ex DAL pilot who was on permanent sick leave. He definitely knew the process interview process and had some gouge on typical DAL questions. .

It was the best $200 I ever spent.
