I have interview offers from Eagle, Expressjet, TSA, and Republic. I plan on going to them and hearing what they have to offer.

Also it was good meeting you finally! Hope you enjoyed your stay in beautiful Mississippi.

Video? I have no idea what you speak of haha.

The Hawker is fun so far. I miss the Saab every now and then though.

Also, the few FOs who were making bypass pay from last year will lose it after this staffing bid if they don't get awarded a CA slot from it. Barring major attrition on the CA side in the near future, you will be seeing a LOT of very bitter FOs on the line because of this. Most of them will be in the Florida system, but several are flying in ATL and IAD. If you are a DEC and flying with an FO who was stepped over, do them a favor and buy lunch or drinks for them on trips.

Stuff happens, and I'm not upset about the DECs. Until I get to company that I want to be at (see a few previous posts), I'm just going to grin and bear it and not even bother complaining about it or other issues anymore. Just payin' the dues. I do hope I'll hear from the place that does mosquito control with DC-3s. Something appealing about wearing shorts, sandals, and t-shirts flying radials.

BTW, I had a PBI overnight recently, anyone else had a bad experience with the "limo" driver? I think I will call the union rep who deals with that sorta issue, it was unacceptable and we shouldn't do business with him. But he quit us before we quit him from the sounds of it.
