Do you walk into the airport and start announcing to everyone around you that you are about to go fly a plane? NO. It's patently obvious that is what your intentions are, there isn't a need to parade around and rub it in people's faces*.

They ARE working towards improving our situation...every day!.... It's just that 15 months before a contract is amendable and the pilots have not been surveyed is not the appropriate time or place to go off and start beating your war drums. I have no doubt we will see the big guns come out, but they have to be unleashed at the right time for maximum effect. It's that "don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes" thing. I advocate staying informed, volunteering to help when able, setting up your strike fund, and most of all patience, Grasshopper.





*Unless of course you are that FO at CAL who used to stand in a major intersection in the EWR concourse with the Tom Cruise Ray-Bans and just let everyone know that he's a "real pilot".

Even if it didn't, you're on the ER. I think they'll run the higher paying jets thin and the lower ones fat if they're going to keep the fat around.

My theory remains they are parking crews on the MD88 and staffing most everything else for a capacity reduction. The 767 and ER are one part seasonal and one part a reluctance to close the domestic category in ATL.

We will see on this next bid. Another big purge to the MD88 right seat will be getting the ducks lined up in seniority order. Watch the ratio of MD88 FO's to Captains.

You can get ones that look like this, but you can also end up with something that will scare the living daylights out of you.

Very good New. I'd like to laugh :), but it kind of hurts. :(

Frontier, don't they fly our EMB-175s?

The only thing I can say about a pension, whats to stop it from being cancelled some other day? I'd rather have the money in my hands to screw up then to be eliminated. Cuts to military pensions are being discussed again and that's from an employer who can print money... and does.
