New to line holding, is there is a green slip trigger that you must be over to get double pay?

If you come from "an airline background" you should
already know that most of these guys lost everything. They have no pension, they lost all of the things that were promised to them, and they are forced to work as long as they can.

It's not a reflection on them, it's a reflection on the sad state of our industry. And your post is a reflection on you.
+1!

Well said Buzz.

Hockey...the lines over there <------------

Depends on where you are in training. I believe if you have already taken systems, you are considered corrupted. Once corrupted, you will do the short course.

It's a couple of CPT's, a couple of practice sims, manuevers and a recurrent LOE.

How do I know this, it's what they told me. I've got a similar problem.

I want to apologize for a previous post of mine. I do not wish any ill-will on anyone. I hope all our pilots live until they are 100. Working until 65 is everyone's right here until the law lets us work until we are 70. Then 70 will be the new norm.

Yes. Look on your time card in iCrew for it.

Get the captain drunk and lie to him about pickup and drop a hint to the TSA wont work?

Borrow his computer on a layover and then call the FBI?

Make him walk from Spondivits to the hotel at 2am drunk with a pocket full of $20 bills?

Get Carl and Tsquare **** drunk and lock them in a room together and see if we gain one or two numbers?

Any other ideas?
Retirements aren't the problem guys. Since the merger, over 600 fNWA guys have retired. Most under 65 and many under 60. Our problem is that we're shrinking. We're not replacing the retirees with new hires.

... on airplanes from French Canada and Brazil that we don't fly. Lets focus where appropriate and where we have some control over the matter. Our Reps and our Contract.

Demand that Delta's future acquisitions are flown by us.

I called RA about this personally and we agreed that it was the best way to get you to rid us of that Richard Simmons avatar.
