I love smelling that delicious crispiness!

In 2011, there were 18 total P-56 airspace violations for flights departing DCA. Of those, 6 were Delta flights and 5 of those occurred in the last four months.

Most all guys I fly with are very very cautious with that thing and take it seriously.

Note I added most.

I had to look it up but basically the southern boundary runs from the Lincoln Memorial to the west side of Kutz Bridge over that tidal basin then east to a direction you'd never be and of course north. The West Potamac park peninsula where the FDR and MLK memorials are below and outside the boundary.

Personally me, I fly so I never have to go back and figure all that ^^^^ out. :rolleyes: Like I said, most all.

Nothings really changed on a normal departure has it? Still fly the river or the 328 radial as far as I know. I think that the 343 radial thing is a single engine thing. Haven't been there in a long while, and I'm too lazy to look it up. Don't see how you can get in trouble if you just stay over the river or on the 328 radial.

Well, after a thorough examination I definitely don't see any underboob in that shot.

Extra SCs required because of weather or whatever, get premium pay.

Excellent idea T...
  • Get rid of off day/xday
  • Reserve bid for days off and SC, PBS can unstack if need be
  • Let reserves trade work blocks and SC with open time and the swap board
  • No out of base swapping...

Cheers

I think 87 hours per month average is probably about right.

I once had a 125 hour month. 1 in 12 years.

I have flown with Captains who were getting 140 hours of pay with multiple green-slips. I believe this.

I have heard about 200 hour months - pretty hard to do but it is possible.

I do not see how 300+ hours is possible. Even if you had an 88 hour award and then had your whole month replaced with green-slips with conflict (which is probably not mathematically realistic in a category over 150 crews) you would still be well short of 300.

Please explain how this would be possible. :confused: And then sign me up for the 300 hour/month plan. :D

Scoop

It's what I was told by a Rep in DTW. They said it was included with the FPL information for the FPL report that's coming out in April (with the budget???). Double assignment pay for a reroute or something. Give 'em a call they always answer.

Congrats cni187, what a game. I hope they win it all.
I say Saints win the Super Bowl if that last drive doesn't happen. SF is the only Def that could slow them down.

Speaking of football...
 
As a DeltaCon guy, I sometimes feel like I'm trespassing here, but in honor of the evisceration of a football game which is in progress, I felt this is worth sharing in case anyone hadn't seen it:
