Speaking of head, I'll take some of that.

I saw something I've never seen before today on the 777 - an out of base instructor greenslip award - wow.

The alpaoids keep jumping on this acting like it was a great scope tightening, when all it did was go from no scope on the bigger planes to an aircraft limit...

Oh...

Not sure if you are aware but an "H" award is either an instructor greenslip or an out of base greenslip to a pilot who is not an instructor. I've seen a lot of this in my category the last few months!

I was assured that it would remain open unless they were directly talking about negotiating strategy.


Nu

Dispatch must get really mad when the only thunderstorm around ATL is over the airport. I do too. It messes up the puff puff pass rotation on the reserve availability list and I need rain.

Not any letter I've seen. It's not in the letter that pilots get when they use the policy. I'm pretty sure it's not in the original explanation of the program.

Air France?

We've established that there 178 transoceanic airplanes and 544 domestic aircraft.

Air France comes in at 15 A332s, 16 A340s, 6 A380s, 13 744s, 25 772s, 35 773s for a total of... 110 transoceanic airplanes. They have a 143 domestic birds.

Just throwing it out there as a fwiw.

This new policy will be a significant benefit to a large number of our pilots and should not be taken for granted. So, a pilot choosing a plan that requires use of this policy too frequently should expect to formally review his commuting strategy with his Chief Pilot. Additionally, should the administration of this policy or the impact to the business become too burdensome, Flight Operations will review and amend the policy as appropriate.



Okay, its not a direct quote, but it is how I read it.
