During this testing you don't need to tear the seminole apart and put it back together. There is a difference between a type rating oral and checking and one just for an ATP. I agree with you guys that it sucks but is not something that is impossible.

I am personally not upset, I just have the best interest of my FOs in mind. I would rather have them study learn the airframe they are currently flying rather than go somewhere else that is going to spoon feed them an ATP. You know... something that is going to benefit them in a positive way in their career.

Lines are out. Seems there is something fishy going on in FLL. Lines 1 and 2 have 18 days off while everyone else gets 12 and 11. I'd say y'all FLL folks got some sussin' out to do.

According to the union email apparently the top couple of guys in Fort Lauderdale went around the union and took matters into their own hands. They apparently back doored a deal with the new CEO to get lines with more days off.

Any more ATL guys seeing their block times changed not to match the logbook? Ironically the company spoke of pilots stealing time, but now were getting jipped by the out stations, especially when you over block. I'm sure it's not only isolated to ATL stations.
