Zimbabwe International Air Line Pilots Association proudly announces an HISTORIC TA that gets them back to their 2004 pay of one billion an hour by 2018. The TA also aligns work rules with 1932 industry standards.
The MEC and NC had no comments when asked about it taking 35 quadrillion Zimbabwe dollars to buy 1 US dollar.

According to my notes, there were 15,474 trips days dropped in 2014, or 1.42 days/pilot/year. 50% of dropped days went to 288 pilots, 75% to 767 pilots. 252 pilots averaged more than one day per month dropped. The concentrations vary widely by fleet type, i.e. more on the ATL 717B. That's who is getting the drops.
I think it will also be instructive to understand what % of trips would likely be removed from the bidding. I can't fully substantiate this for you yet, the total number of trips being pulled sounded like it would be < than 2% (of FO trips, obviously). I'm being told a notepad should be available shortly, but in the meantime, there is a road show in Peach Tree City tomorrow from 1-4PM, and the road show schedule has been e-mailed in Contrails 20.

For those believing the lies of FPL.
I will give you a current account of my FPL.
21 hours.
I have been at a 3 day meeting. 1 day of training. And currently average 6 hours a day everyday answering questions on various social media outlets.
So before we start accusing a mis-use of FPL, get the facts.
Also, I would love to see any of you work for no pay and say you are not getting totally screwed.
I'm not complaining. I am a volunteer. But get your facts straight and stop the childish and baseless allegations to try and recruit other's to your island of rancor and discontent.
But, as always, please keep the questions flowing and we will attempt to get you information.

If there was any correlation with stock buy back programs and an advancing stock price, you could make a killing. There's not. In fact, Delta stock is now behaving like a lot of stock performance after the program is announced. Straight down.
If anything, the best play on a stock after buy back announcements is an optioned short position. In my opinion of course.

I'm not saying they are a good expenditure. Never said that. All I am saying is that the perception that it enriches the executives is minimal at best because with the amount of stock we have outstanding, it won't move the needle enough to "enrich" anybody. They already invest 1/4 of the profits in the employees, pretty hard to justify doing a bigger percentage than that from a business perspective. Do you disagree with that?
Second, it only enriches shareholders if it works and the stock goes up. If not, it's a waste of shareholder money. So who does it enrich? Option holders with lock up periods. Who most often has those? Senior executives. Those options represent great wealth if the share price can be maintained above a certain level. Thus the buyback program.
Again, dividends are the method to enrich shareholders if that's the desire.

Ok, lets be a little more clear on this. I checked and part of your statement is correct..u got FPL for a 4 day trip that ended on the 15th...however, that was actually your 3rd rotation that was dropped for FPL so far this month. Brian, its disengious to claim only 21 hours of FPL...for P2P purposes....
This is a preview of the road shows folks. They're not designed to inform. Their only purpose is to mislead.
