That why I specifically stated legal. It has to be a level playing field. Although after the NFL draft nothing is a level playing field. This Bengals fan just bought tickets to Tampa.

 

Well I care, as I’m sure many others care. I didn’t say how much capital I was willing to negotiate for this item in Section 6, but it’s something that can easily be remedied. 10 minute hold times etc. Yea, I’m aware we have bigger fish to fry. This one is easy. Why not get it done next go around. Model after the Southwest open time. What’s so difficult about that? Like I said, I can’t imagine giving up much of anything to get this done. It’s a no brainer.

 

"Obama declared a national emergency, not a public health emergency, in October 2009. The Obama administration declared a public health emergency in April, months before swine flu was declared a pandemic. At the time that the Obama administration declared a public health emergency, only 20 confirmed cases (not over a million, as some websites have claimed) of H1N1 existed in the United States."

 

I recently was in the ORD terminals (often we bypass the terminals). I hadn't been there in about a month. I was shocked. No one there. Almost everything closed. It seemed like I was in a movie about how a pandemic had killed almost everyone in the US, and everything was empty...

Gravitas: Why is the WHO Director General toeing China's line? | Coronavirus

And..... the WHO won't even acknowledge the existence of Taiwan, despite their prophetic warnings about the Wuhan virus. The WHO is under the control of the Chinese Communist Party. Look at the corruption behind the appointment of the WHO attorney general as detailed in this report.

Trump was right about these global government organizations... we shouldn't rely on them and we should defund them.

 

Syria is better off under the control of assad. That is a good thing, Russia seems to understand that.

Actually he did lock "kids in cages". Either way it's justified as they are illegal aliens. Good for him.

Trump also issued travel bands earlier than anyone all the while Dems crying about "racism".

So where should we put illegal Aliens? Doesn't matter their age, either it stopped the parents from using the "unaccompanied minor" loophole.

 

it’s rare that I pick up a trip, but I care about this. If we end up with pilots on furlough, do you think these individuals that repeatedly manage to be the 1st one to pick up a trip are going to stop? If we had hundreds of guys on the street they would still be trying to credit 200 hours a month. And they must be incredibly fast if they are winning the Flica race and crediting 150 to 200 hours when other pilots are trying and can’t pick up one trip. Even if bots aren’t being used (Which I find hard to believe since apparently a few people are consistently getting the trips) why not change the system to make it more balanced? And I’m not even sure we have to wait to for the next contract to get the change. It’s a simple change that doesn’t cost the company anything. In times of change many things are possible. Just like the fact that London slots or LAX gates might now become available to JetBlue, a simple change in a computer program might be available to JetBlue pilots.

 

Maybe the company likes these guys?

with a furlough everything changes. EVERYTHING!

 

if anyone picks up anything during a furlough they deserve so much more than a punch in the face. For every 70 hours the pilot group picks up, its one less person on the street.

 

At Delta, a pilot can swap with another pilot (or give away his/her trip) anytime. Open Time (time that has been given back to the company or removed from peoples schedules due to sick or other conflicts) is available to everyone but you put in a request and then 4 times a day (as specified times) they run the computer which goes in seniority order to assign/swap with open time until all requests were assigned. They also have pickup limits that prevent a pilot from just picking up more than 15hrs (not sure on this number) more than the average line value for each pilot so it keeps pilots from being able to just hoard all the open time trips.

This system seems to honor seniority, while allowing as many as possible to participate in open time but not requiring a pilot to sit in front of their computer all day long waiting for a trip to drop into open time.
