Yeah no, don’t wanna go back to right seat for god knows how long but in his case I felt it was a good decision on his part for his qol.
Pretty sure new hires at XJT won’t be going to the 175 for a while unless they get more airframes.

I've heard so many horror stories about dynamic scheduling though.

Did I miss an announcement, or did the LOA just quietly expire?

There's a union email. Yes, it expired. The union wanted language in a continuingLOA to protect against travel on days off and travel up to MSP without scheduled events, as well as some language to protect instructors. They didn't get it. Therefore the 30% long call goes away until they can negotiate it again.

If you've got a long term training event in April or beyond, I'd count this as a win. If you've got reserve in April and beyond, you may count this as a loss. Depends on your perspective.

I've said it before. No software investment will solve the training problems. The company has got to address the terrible job CAE does on the sims. I'm afraid they've been training in that MSP facility so long they just can't imagine doing anything else. I'm not sure how long we've been using the PHX facility, but it is also an absolute mess .

Hopefully the union can step up and point this out to the company. Solving this problem will benefit both the pilots and company.

PHX started in very very late 2015, for what it's worth.

Default Let’s get back on topic

Just finished my second trip in a row where the captain was the only one who couldn’t seem to grasp the concept of gratuity. Please don’t embarrass yourself and your fellow crew members by not showing gratitude to our van drivers for transporting us safety to and from our accommodations. If our flight attendants can find it in their budget, so can you. It’s literally $6 for a 4 day trip, come on. There is no justification for you being cheap. Rant over.

I’ve worked at several airlines in my career. Endeavor is BY FAR the cheapest bunch I’ve ever seen in regards to tipping. It’s truly embarrassing. I’m regularly the only person tipping a DOLLAR. I’ve seen LCP’s stiff drivers on the reg.
