FLM = Foul Mouth

DTW = De-twaa.
BTV = Burlington Vermont... but it's not, BVT is though
MOL = Mole

On LA Weather (movie trivia):
Guy: Harry, should you be pretaping the weather report?
Weathercaster: The weekends are very tough for me to come in. You can imagine my busy weekend schedule. Besides, this is L.A. What's going to change?

Flew 1611 to CDG yesterday...mucho bueno. From a pax viewpoint it really looks like a brand new airplane. The pilot rest area is tight, but comfy ( I'm 5'11" and 200ish lbs). Very quiet down there and the temp control worked well. Only complaint it the the light inside the "reading light" switch is too bright. FAs were struggling with the new layout, but overall it's a big thumbs up.

Straight out of the SWAPA handbook.

SWAPA considers our Duty and Trip Rigs to be the strongest in the industry, as they protect pilot productivity and efficiency.
• Minimum Daily guarantee is 6.5 TFP; Ex., a 3-day trip pays a minimum of 19.5 TFP .
6.5 TFP = 5:39 Ex. 3 day trip 16:58

• Duty hour rig is .74 TFP per hour, minimum.
.74 TFP per hour = 39mins per hour

• Reserve guarantee is 90 TFP per month; but actual months pay average around 105 TFP
90 TFP = 78:18 105 TFP = 91:21

• Reserves are allowed to pick-up extra flying.
• Holidays pay 150 percent.
• Open Time trips pay up to 150 percent.

Please take note here....THREE day trip in example....not four.

Note to DALPA.... SWA does make A LOT more than us!
