I understand that, I have 3 on after this block of 4 off, the 2 day trip is (was) worth 10 hours in open time. I could have picked it up (if they would actually have given it to me... yes, I know what the contract says), and basically created 5 on. I would basically have to get a 20 hour 3 day trip to hit 30/7 which seems pretty unlikely at this point.... considering I haven't flown a plane in almost 2 weeks.... I feel like a pack-a-day smoker, deprived of his cigarettes for half a month... Got the jitters, headache, short temper, etc... Must.fly.again.soon.

Through the end of the year, 3-400. 12 a week every week. Not all of it is attrition, our attrition has slowed considerably, everyone FEELS as if something MAY be in the works, but who knows. All the growth will be in the 70/90.

I totally agree. Last month I was flying it for two days without the A/P. Today I'd it again and it completely screwed up again; first it changed the pre-set altitude during a descent, then it changed the speed we'd set - a couple of times. Not to mention that the F/D is flickering on and off the whole time and EFIS comp mon is coming up and is hard to get straighten out. I simply don't trust it! Someone needs to bring it in and de-bug it before something goes really bad. If you fly it before it is taken care of, pay attention and be on top of what you have pre-selected because it will change......
