Yep, busted taking a chance by dropping 6 R-days to pick a 4 day trip (dbl DH) that includes a front end DH and 29hr layover at home! Call me guilty! I'll use RT's excuse, I did it to be home more! (gone away from home for 40hrs vs 6 days in MEM on reserve - yep very guilty!

Probably drop a few more days after I get a few landings since I go non-current on 4/17

Oh yea, and I don't have to spend anytime in Memphis - to get back on topic!

I thought it was so that us commuters can bash Memphis and feel good about the decision to be gone from home and family so many more days per month.

Making more money to be home more! You learn well/quickly Grasshopper. 8 days with a blue line and 9 Rdays. now you are working 17 days instead of 15... hahahaha

There is no point to this thread, never was. It does show we can all justify anything if we want to. I've never had a problem with guys using their contractual benefits at any time. But, I have caught major crap from both of these guys for doing exactly what they have done in April. Not just on APC.... hey but it's what they want now... so it's OK

Like right now I think I really need a new motorcycle.....

And yea Happy Easter...

Look again Ladybug! Its 6.5 days of blue line (97 TAFB + 57 TAFB with 1 day of no blue line between the trips - I'll actually be home 2 days between trips due to backend DH)! And uh, its a 19 day R line month - not 15 and Ive dropped 6 R days already, and more than 2 of the 6.5 blue days of "work" are at home (nothing like being away from home less than 40 hrs on a 97 hr TAFB trip! Kinda like when you trade your out and backs and sleeping in your own bed for those 24 hr layovers outside of MEM, right? ) BTW- once I get a couple more landings and my currency is assured (darn pesky VIPS notices) I will drop some more R days!

Nice try at spin doctoring though!

Ok....I am having a hard time reading these self congratulatory slug fests.... I can just see the negotiating committee having these handed back to them across the table when talking work rules.

It's just slightly less crass than comparing the price per cc of the new implants you just bought your wife. Just cut to the chase and tell us whose schwanz is bigger once and for all so we don't have to read this stuff again.

Better yet, use the private message function. Nobody cares about your catfight, except you ladies.

The girl murdered was the best friend of an A300 Capt's (CW) girlfriend. A buddy of mine was on a siba trip with him when this happened.
