I just hope the 717 deal doesn't involve bringing in SWA/AT pilots with the jets. I have a SWA dude in my reserve unit. In a typical cavalier attitude he told me we were saving them by taking their 717s as well as the angry AT guys.
Maybe pref interviews. Otherwise they will wait until after the vote if it comes to that and AT guys are included.

I think they closed all of the fun backdoor stuff.

Backdoor stuff to see your schedule before the little blue X pops up.

I mean it's just a pet peeve of mine. Kind of like when people say tit-for-tat. That makes no sense, it's tit-for-tit.
It is tit for tit. That's for sure. Is that a call out for TA underboob?

Recently I saw them practice but it was with ceilings restricting their vertical stuff.

They all disappeared. Now that could be a practice thing but I kind of remember seeing this at an air show once too.

So I was wondering, during those parts of their performance where they'd done a vertical maneuver do they just disappear for the allotted time? Or do they fill in the vertical parts with another maneuver?
There are actually 3 shows, Hi, low and flat. Each adjusted to suit the wx. The greater delays in the low and flat are due to wx and greater amount of time required to maintain visual on checkpoints, set up next maneuver and execute rejoins (in general).

I had the same thought but that doesn't make sense. The AT/SWA guys have a job. How about the furloughed UAL guys? They are ALPA brothers. I would rather see those folks get an interview. The low lying fruit on the tree is gone. DAL has a completely different hiring process. Our cool aid tastes different too.

OK, take it for what it's worth. Here's what I've got.

19% over two raises, 3% a year thereafter (I think)
+ 4% DC, with 1% a year there after

717's coming, about 100 of them
JV language for Atlantic and Pacific flying

Many questions left to be answered on scope and other parts of contract, but this may work for me on a three year deal.

Here's the warm up for the flat show. The trick is to nail the altitude:
