TransWorld,
Yea, long-call can be a mixed bag, but when it's good, it's great! I know different airlines treat it differently and some will burn a long-call before the normal reserves but when an airline is well staffed, well run and the weather is good, it's awesome. Did I just say well run? I crack myself up!

And it's Thursday! Whoo-hoo!

Back in normal times, (a number of years ago) a senior captain with TWA bid long call every other June. Had to paint his house, siding one time and trim the next. Only once was he used in about 6 of those Junes. It was a STL to DSM turn. Still made it back to take his wife out to dinner.

TransWorld,

Ha! That's an awesome story! Might have to poach that for a cartoon, I'll cite you as co-author.

Welp, it's Monday, and away we go....

Please feel free to do that.

Incidentally, if TWA had not merged into AA, he would have retired at seniority number 9 with TWA.

TransWorld,

I'm sure we all carry two images in our heads. One, our current reality of where we are at, and two, where we SHOULD have been had X,Y and Z not happened, OR happened and then we pull from that all the material to rationalize and justify feeling so self-righteously aggrieved!

Man I can whip out a soapbox quickly.

Today's Thursday!

Very good.

My friend would have been even lower number with Ozark, if TWA had not bought them!

Somewhat related to the cartoon. Getting called into the CP office (or in years gone by, the principal’s office) thinking the worst. Turns out they found your lost glove.
