Default Paok,

Has anything gotten better for you?
How does your October look? I have heard of some folks not turning in their paper work yet for their 100hrs because they're afraid the company won't fly them as much.

But if you don't hit your 100hrs in time look at the bright side. A nice hotel and 24/7 per diem. JK

My October schedule looks horrid.

Does any one know how many FO's are coming to JFK from Orlando? We lost 10 FO's for October and I only moved up 3 places.

Just Curious,

The Chow

Default Rumor I heard in the crew room

The story goes like this:

A pilot was getting married and had requested 3 days off. He only received 2 days off. So the pilot then went to the Chief Pilot's office and begged for the extra day off.

He was denied and when his wedding came and went he called in sick for the day he didn't get.

Afterwards, his employment with Comair was terminated.

Has anyone else heard or can confirm this???

Darn....Looks like I'm going to go backwards in November.

Maybe some one knows the answer to this question: How long is the L1 window open? I know you have 9hrs from the time they call, but what is the window for the time period in which they can call.

Not sure about L1, but it'd be in the front of the bid packet. As far as your story goes, it's true as published by a company email from ALPA.

When i was on reserve i always bid the L1 window. if i remember correctly the window was from 5am till 3pm but im not totally positive. Just be prepared to get 6 ready reserves a month on that window. But the nice thing is you dont have to sit in NY on your window.

Since I'm not at Comair, I can neither confirm nor disclaim this story. I can, however, offer my unasked-for perspective:
If they're willing to fire somebody over something like that, screw 'em. In my life, my family and myself come first - not my employer.

What the ALPA email didnt say is that this guys had already called in numerous times this year and had been abusing sick calls. Interesting how ALPA forgot to mention that.
