Isnt that all 737s?

DALPA sends out message about how the rumors of rules changing for the worse are unfounded; that the PWA protects us from rules that would be disadvantageous to the pilot group.

Survey asks if you're open to changing PWA in regard to new FAA FT/DT rules.

Read between the lines: What are you willing to give up to keep PWA FT/DT as currently written now that FAA rules allow some to be relaxed?

Saw that too.

ALPA -

"We will make FT/DT better/safer"

"well, we didn't do that, but your contract still protects you"

Next coming when the contract heads south:

"You can always call in fatigued"

Just the older ones. Seems Boeing figured it out.

It's more fun to just spray all over the place and tell the FA that the last pax did it

1) Sex is the novocaine that makes marriage possible.

2) who loves you more, your wife or your dog? Here is how you know- lock them both in the trunk of your car, wait two hours, go open the trunk and see who is happest to see you.

Kids, or no kids?

Perx does not have Holiday Inn's link, but they give a good discount (30% less than I was able to find online) for their resorts, w/ Delta ID at check in. Budget seems to be the best on cars.

Pensacola's got a new resort property with a lazy river and kids activities. Good excuse to visit the Navy Aviation Museum in Pensacola. Check the schedules, on some days the Blue Angels practice right on the beach. Take the wife up to Seaside or Aly's Beach for the yuppie $60 dinner and the Back Porch is the same as it has been for 30 years now.

Really? Trim runs pretty slow.

Seems like this guy would have realized something was wrong when his neck tie was skewed 30 degrees. ... like Air France being 17+ degrees nose up at FL370 with the engines at idle ... some things, I just don't get.

Had an FO at a previous airline tweak the rudder trim and the knob stuck due to all the crap that was under it. He left it in position as the airplane's trim slowly ran towards the stop. Even with the knob stuck it was no big deal to control the jet, get the knob un stuck and re-trimmed.

You know the pilots that you refused to let work at your company unless we resigned our recall rights. You made your bed.
