I wonder what the DTW construction for the next two years that was mentioned is going to be?
With the mention of the 744 being possibly close to weight critical on DTW-Japan, I'd imagine 22L is going to be out of service for part of it.

I'm planning on golfing in SA on one of my next trips. Are you able to check a bag when you are working a trip? I know TSA is inconsistent from airport to airport with some of the security rules as far as carry-on clubs for crew. Is there any way to get your clubs somewhere internationally?

Click on" Runway 4R/22L and Associated Taxiways Reconstruction Finding of No Significant Impact Decision and Environmental Assessment" It's a 13mb pdf.
Report said construction will take place during summer (March 2012) and last 13-16 months (runway will open during winter months, than close again to finish taxi-way work in 2013).

Spot on Scambo!
Not only is there little downside, but it gives more people access to "premium" pay without having to "game the system".
Greenslips would still exist and offer the same potential as before.
Payrates and workrules is how we need to make our 70-75 hours pay.
Nobody should have to fly over 75 to try to "recoup" pay.
Again, lots of chaff out there, like what it cost/hour for a delta pilot.
There is no investor conference where pilot cost/hour is a metric.
We have augmented crews and initial training when switching fleets/seats. Delta spends a lot of money on pilots not producing ASMs; and yet the Delta pilot portion of CASM is 30% below Southwest's.
Offer the company savings by having pay-banding and there is lots of headroom in the financials.
Cheers

George;
The problem is that is such a teensy weentsy piece. Someone might be diligent enough to have tabulated a list of these sorts of improvements, but if others are like me, I think of it when I think of it, but dont write it down.
If anyone has come up with a punch list of contract improvements, I would sure like it PMed to me so I can have a more structured list from which to work.
It might not be a bad idea to post it too, IDK.

22L/4R is slated to be reconstructed sometime in the near future.
