But, there will be a certain group who would love to fly the bus in NYC. Can you think who I am talking about? BOS commuters, due to the Shuttle flying have home layovers.
And then those ATl guys will MD to NYC.

I just read the Council 20 Chairman's letter about the Flight Pay Loss resolutions.

Comment 1. His stock just went up among his constituents.

Comment 2. DALPA MEC: Wow, just wow, you folks need to go somewhere else!

Short answer is YES.

The god news is you still get credit for the SC. However, unless they have some major stuff happen in the morning its unlikely you would be used for anything else.

Don't forget you can still use the 2hr commute clause.

On the other board, someone mentioned the American pilots might have a TA with a 3 percent raise up front followed by 1 percent every year. Is anyone else hearing this? We're screwed if this is true.

Had an interesting conversation with him about the FPL and find the "Stipend" comment very interesting. According to Chairman Moa(k) some pigs are more equal than others.

Wish I could be money from the Company/DALPA to pay for my yardwork etc.

Does anyone think AMR will actually let the ink dry on the contract before they file Ch 11?

Yes, and all they are giving you is a courtesy call. SC and Whitlow applications apply to the 0630 SC start.

Maybe, but I do think they need to reorganize. Problem is that with a new CBA with APA the judge is not going to be overly open to killing the contract. Pensions, yes, but not the contract em mass.

Some pigs are definitely more equal than others.

Pompous is the only word that comes to mind.

I didn't. As a new-hire I had it pretty good, and I would like to see all of our future new-hires have it just as good as I did (sorry, T.... I know the grammar sucks). Just because you had a crappy first few years doesn't mean I should have, and it certainly doesn't mean the next wave of new-hires has to either. I left the "I dealt with it so you have to also" behind at the Fraternity house when I graduated college. My $0.02.

Have a good trip.
I had to pay for my hotel room during new hire training. I do not want future new-hires have to do the same. I'll give up $1/ hour for this.
