Did you know PPA stood for Penny Pinching A------s?

No. That's "aviators", but I like the way you think (same number of letters).

Is Pete the guy who wore a tie tack with his testosterone level number on it?

11.C.12.b.1

I think it would be appropriate to ask if they are getting their ALPA negotiated override while advocating violating the contract and being involved in anti-Union activities

Yeah, I think that's why his tie was always limp...

I believe the current B717 Fleet Captain is the former DALPA Merger Committee chairman which makes me doubt he would have a hard-on for the lanyards but you never know.

As for the new hires, if he is, in fact, telling them not to wear the lanyard, maybe he is doing so out of caution for their probabtionary status.

The LCA override sucks. The regionals paid a better percentage 20 years ago.

I know the ones I fly with are not like that at all, they know they aren't management because they know they aren't being paid in stock options. Ever since they lost their $3 Million DB retirement plan, and a boat load of money every year in ongoing pay cuts, there aren't too many kool aid kids left on the 777.

There is this ONE guy though...

Scambo can verify.

Just wondering: R. B.?

The fleet captain owns the sim instructors, the LCAs work for the Chief Line Check Pilot...two completely separate chains of command. So the fleet captain is not telling the LCPs anything with regard to the lanyard.

I've never had to fly with him, but heard some stories. Most of them in ATL are great guys (I don't know any in DTW) and I enjoy flying with them.

The 'one guy' in ATL I was thinking of is the same one who prohibits the use of Vertical Speed, ever, likes to get all preachy in the cockpit, not about religion but about his techniques, and takes himself waaayyy too seriously.

Thanks for clearing that up, I never heard a name, just that it was coming from that fleet's LCA's in particular. Not sure about any of the other fleets, I know nobody in my fleet gives a hoot.

There's a lot of guys in our fleet who have completely lost faith in Alpa. Completely. It will be a tough road, even for JM, to bring them into the "unity" fold.

That is more of the driver, IMO, of any lack of lanyard wearing. We often look at the 777As as having it made. But, those guys are all dead zoners. They dont care what you wear around your neck.
