Now that I own this airline you may wonder, does FTB want to be a master that is loved or feared?

You can't afford an airline.
All your money will be tied up building the FTBdome at Auburn.

Hearing lots of rumors regarding Skywest and Pinnacle and Delta. Anyone have any insight? Bar or ACL? Anyone else getting worried about how big Skywest is getting? It won't be long before the tail starts wagging the dog.

how would that work? would they have to re-interview? a minimum of the face-to-face interview and the psych visit, I hope.

quick contract question

If I am a reserve guy and they assign me a trip (and I acknowledge it in Icrew) then it later gets cancelled "NOOP". Do I get pay protection/credit for it? I did not actually drive to work and sign in.

I have a feeling the answer is probably no, but never hurts to check- you guys are faster than reading contract for next hour to find it.

THX!

Trip signed in about 730Pm if that matters, notified at 830 AM

10% tithe

Airplane of choice slepped T-38 with glass and a travel pod, car of choice new twin turbo corvette convertible and a mid 90's supra twin turbo. Boat of choice sterling flats with a yamaha 4 stroke.

It's $640M. Up $200M since Wednesday.

For those of us who see mega signs daily, tomorrow it will swing down to $12M. Over the next dozen drawings it won't probably cross $20M. Nobody will buy, they're buying now.

H. Suit-Up Pay and Credit
1. A regular pilot or a long call reserve pilot will receive a minimum of two hours pay and
credit if he:
a. has not acknowledged his removal from a rotation or portion thereof, and
b. reports for duty.
Exception: A pilot who is entitled to a rotation guarantee under

Section 4 F. will not
receive suit-up pay and credit if he elects to waive his rotation guarantee and the
corresponding requirement to be available for flying or deadheading under

Section 4. F. 2.

Note: A pilot may only waive his rotation guarantee with the concurrence of Crew
Scheduling.
2. A short call reserve pilot who is removed from a rotation or portion thereof will receive
suit-up pay and credit if Crew Scheduling first attempted to notify him of such removal

less than two hours before his scheduled report.

Interesting though. The first sentence seems to imply you could have got 2 hours extra pay if you didn't acknowledge the cancellation and just showed up to sign in.

Nope, did not report so you do not even get suit up pay, just back on LC.
