Problem is that we are all busting our rear ends trying to save precious $$'s for the company and they take that savings and invest in other airlines that threaten our jobs.

Keep that backpack on grasshopper!!

Another eyeopening event is the insider stock sales!!:eek: Look at how rich the 13 year veteran Joanne Smith is...I think she basically babysits HR, former FA. Again, I do not begrudge management pay, but enuff is enuff.

These people are raking it in, while neglecting and reducing our payback.

Well, they lost $2B in Q4 2014. There are 31,556,926 seconds per year.

So basically, they lost $63 / sec.

Is that right?

How many lbs of fuel does the 320 save with this abnormal flap configuration for landing? Are you showing more chord on the tires? How much does a tire cost btw?

USAir has been pushing Flaps 3 for years on the Airbus. They say it lowers the risk of tail strikes. You can land at 3 or Full, but if you whack the tail and you landed Flaps Full, I can guarantee you'll making a trip to the big brown desk.

Having said that, the 321 lands better with Flaps 3.

Post merger, the company said our preferred Flap Setting for the 757/767 is 25. Boeing says the risk of a tail strike is higher at 25.

So in that quarter, they lost $252/second. Those are some expensive seconds.

Bravo. This should be mandatory reading for captains. Way too many have a tendency to push (especially newer) FOs off their game without realizing the detriment to the operation it's causing.

Take the runway with the flaps up a couple of times, that'll straighten things out. Always worked for me on the "9".

No use rushing anything in aviation. Especially between pushback and V1.

Considering we get paid by the second, my motto is "Start off slow, and then taper off."

The paper WDR is going away... it'll all be uplink. That will reduce the workload!
