They're used to 80 down there...

I apologize for the lack of excitement, but, where do you go again? Space? Isn't it like for just a moment? "there it is..." and back you come.

I bring the pain.

Or am just really nice and give them the chance to be nice in return, and if not it degrades into reminding them of the rules. If it continues then it degrades just blatant passive aggressiveness...

Anyways, Elaine Dickinson... no underboob. none. Flat as my back.

Glad to hear that about your back since we don't need any more back boob pictures.

And you can't call them on it because when you do you'll get a "it's too late now." I've seen this on reserve AM/PM preferences too and have called about it. That they will adjust. But in my experience they're assigning stuff without looking.

But from the RUO document:

and

Jesse I highlighted in blue what I think answers your question best. I think this should be up on the ALPA website under Reserve Utilization Order and if not look up CA 09-12 and it's one of the documents in there.

But I can rewrite it to be a little more accurate:

I have had schedulers in the last two years try and do that. They have paid me every time when they did not honor the contract. If they are in violation of the contract call ALPA. Normally you wont even have to go the grievance route. In a few weeks you will get a call and receive pay for a missed trip or assignment pay for a incorrectly assigned trip.

I'm watching Tracy Morgan on the IFE and surfing.

I was on a transcon DH the other day on a domestic 767 and all the content on the IFE was for a fee. Am I missing something? $6 for a movie wasn't going to happen.

Is there free content on the IFE that I just wasn't finding? Even the TV shows were $2.

I think, but can't say for sure, that some of our international jets are still only capable of the pay per view stuff.
