To suggest a fellow pilot not pick up OT when NOT in negotiations is legal. This causes much confusion.
Example:
The Delta case scared alot of the union labor atty's because it DID make it to court. Many of the labor atty's working for the unions seem to have the OPINION that it would thus be ruled illegal in a court at any time. The ABX case was strongly on the side the pilots to not do OT or JA and 6th District Federal Appeals Court agreed that this ban was not illegal because they were not in negotiations. Hope this helps. Pilots and unions running scared again...

We should've followed UPS's lead and had that language added to our contract.
Quoted from Freighter Captain on the cargo forum "I also am thankful for part of our contract that says we can legally call an OT ban if UPS were to announce a furlough, BRILLIANT! UPS would be furloughing in '08 in my judgment if not for this clever language."
I wish I could say the same.

I'm pretty sure CALPilotToo just called me a dirtbag. Now my feelings are hurt.

My airline interest isn't restricted to CAL; I follow most of the airlines.

LifeNtheFstLne,
You could also throw in there those extra 50 pounds guys have,hit the gym once in a while, their ties only go half way down their gut. Dressing and looking nice is all about self pride. Guys at SWA still talk about the hat and that we should wear it, but their leather jacket looks like its been run over by a truck.

What's all this chatter around CAL today about us picking up some of the ATA 757's? Seems awfully quick to announce something like that. Then again, we do have an active rumor mill here... Anyone else heard that?

The 4 757-300 are officially ours via Boeing. They're sitting in PHX and will be retrofitted soon.
Not trying to downplay the very unfortunate shut-down of ATA, but just passing on some news.
I'd like to see the ATA and Aloha Pilots get first shot at our next classes. Sorry SkyBussers but you are definitely not welcome.
