And??? so what?

Where the 88 has it, hands down, over long haul is currency. Every long haul pilot struggles with maintaining currency. It takes a couple months to nail down a procedural change (like the flaps command) where a domestic pilot has it down after one trip. On the 777 we say "it takes 4 pilots to get it off the gate." There is a lot of truth in that.

How about we come up with a new payscale whereby the captain gets $10 for every passenger that is actually on board the aircraft. Ferry flights would be done for free.. The FO gets $8. You still think that productivity crap argument will have the 747/777 being the most senior? It's a garbage argument that continues the same sorry pay scales we have always had...

yeah, my ads are car related and Destin related. I keep getting ads for Resort Quest, Chase Credit Card and Subaru's. Don't know why Subaru.

Oh I get a lot of ALL ATP stuff sometimes too.

Pretty sure we're keeping the route just changing the equipment to the ER as opposed to the 765.

Actually its probably more to do with browser cookies and your internet activity. The ads know where you've been and try to sell you products based on that.

Ok, I see that now. Thanks. On the 765 fleet update it said we were picking up an ATL-LHR, so I didn't know where that was coming from and thought it was transferring the MIA authority.

MIA-LHR is being dropped and the slot at LHR is going to be used for the ATL-LHR flight. I believe most of the LHR slots if not all we are using actually belong to AirFrance.

Speaking of Emirates, with the start of the SEA flights, I am wondering what manglement actually thinks about this? Any opinions here? Do they view it as an actual threat in relation to the AS codeshare or are they not thinking along those lines?
