And 90% of winning is 50% preparation.
And when ever a DALPA guy has told me, "Don't worry, they would NEVER do that..."
They do it.
I have long tried to figure out why the F/A's seem to have better intel, and sooner, than the Pilots. My guess is, they have more and better friends in Marketing and as we all know, Marketing drives this airline. That's why our A/E's always take another 4-6 weeks to come out!
I have stopped trying to use any logic or reason when it comes to what airplanes fly out of what basses. I think most of the people in Marketing are married to PTC Realators and to them, "Change is good".

I guess F/A sources leak more than our own pilots in those positions. Problem with having Cadet Wing Commanders or what have you in charge, honor code or something. Ruins the fun. I guess on the 777 you get to talk to FA's beyond "here's the password... did you know the water isn't on... bathroom stinks... they're still boarding... are you ready... I have a write up... water still doesn't work... what button?"

Anyhow, happy new years to my apc brethren. May the next year be filled with excellent quarterly earnings, a 100 set jet, home basing, an end to to mortgage crisis, and an end to outsourcing.
Then again, what would we have to talk about?!?
Happy New Years everyone. Take time to enjoy what's truly important.

Happy New Year all.
Maybe too much optimism, but did anyone else notice in his year end statement, SD spent a paragraph talking about the improved Pilot selection Process?
Here's hoping for hiring and greenslips for all!

I did not see SD's latest, but I did notice I moved up 8 whole numbers...none in category, but up 8 on the "big list".
