Which is a complete sham. Boston was running 1 hour Edcts yesterday for the fog. Hardly the cause for their short staffing situation in Boston. The upcoming system bid won’t help this summer 2019, so I’m assuming the upgrade numbers will be status quo.

Oh, my bad, definitely not what my brain told my fingers to convey. Summer will be hotter than today. And I predict a few CAT IROPs.

I guess no other seats in Boston were effected by us “being on our heels with the heavy rain and fog”. Oh wait, that’s because they’re staffed better. My bad. Nothing to see here. Keep moving.

And every time you overcome all the obstacles thrown our way you shot yourself in the foot next negotiation session. Not saying don’t pick up vda etc but going above and way beyond in your work day. Do your job and your job only. Then everyone won’t ha e as many obstacles thrown their way because pilots aren’t righting the ship.

One day soon I hope you realize how sad/dangerous this remark really is and how it hurts the pilot group.

The operation is supposed to build defenses (cheese) not remove them and then some stand-up and applaud how the pilot group keeps surviving.

Grow up, Skippy!

Can anyone shed some light on when the next application window will open up?

I thought I was signed up to recieve notifications but been missing last few ones.

Also, any idea if past applications make an impact on new application..or they generally just go by the latest application information?

Perhaps in your mind this summer will be mo betterly managed than in the past, but I doubt it. Let's rehash it in October and see who was more correct.
