A positive statement regarding a regional from Mike Boyd? I'm confused, I can't handle it, its all too much.

I think the air is clearing a bit for Comair. We've been through a lot in the past 7-8 years (strike, bankruptcy) and we are starting to turn the proverbial corner and relatively good things are happening, albeit slowly. I started just prior to the bankruptcy and have had nothing but bad news since I have been here, so its nice to see some things in our favor.

I'll take what I can get.

Way to "Deliver" boys (and girl)! Keep up the good work. Our hard work is finally starting to show results.

Quick question about the application Comair just sent me. It asks for ME time but also F/W ME??? What is F/W ME? I have never seen this before.
Thanks!

Now that's a pretty gosh darn good memory. How do you remember who had what avatar on another webboard from a few years ago? Do you take ginko biloba supplements?

The schedule overview they gave me on differences training has a LOFT and LOE on it. Is there no MV?

Yeah, there is. At least there was a few months ago. My sim schedule went like this:

SIM1, SIM2, MV, 2 days off, LOFT, LOE, 1 day off, release to OE

It's all in Section 24-D of the Contract. (Pages 24-6 and 24-7).

And, no, you can not bid for a window. You get what they give you. However, you can (and should) call planning after completion of OE and give them your day off requests. I did and they honored every one of them. Juan is awesome! He was always my favorite scheduler when before he moved to planning.
