10 HOURS!

Damn you must be getting stuck on the couch a lot. Are there any trips in open time that you can pick up?

You know how it is brother........here's the pool. Now go swimming.

If your doing it in DFW, come into TERM 'B' gate B7. Next to the dunkin donuts, is an elevator. Use your key to call the elevator, or just wait for it. Go down to floor 1, exit to the right and walk all the way to the end of the hall. You will see the crew room, where the IOE CA will be most likely. When you get there, either go to the CP office which is in that room, or ask around, most likely the folks in there probably know your CA.

You might want to try parking at the academy, tell them your situation so they give you a temp parking permit and then take the crew shuttle to DFW, if you are going to comutte out of DFW talk to the checkairman you will be flying with, most of those guys are great about answering our questions to include things that are not related to flying. He will show you how to get your parking pass at DFW.

Its better to be overstaffed since they are parking them next yr.That way they can start displacing right away without the staffing problem.

Overstaffed? So why are they hiring like crazy? To be able to furlough?
Or are we approaching the end of the hiring cycle?

never said the whole airline is over staffed. Jet side of things are still hurting badly. However the ATR side to me seems very overstaffed, as mentioned above most ATR rsv guys are averaging 10 hours a month. I had a 7 hour month in July out of MIA.

Good to hear flysooner... I am trying to get on board! No luck so far with my low times (830/51).
