I'm afraid they were too good. I may have pocketed a few and rationed them over a four day trip.

I hope they have a big announcement BBQ for us. Eager to see what happens in a few weeks!

Ha !

If only DALPA thought like the UAW. How bout that "unity" our "brothers and sisters" at mainline show.

If you're feeling pressure to fly with anything broken you're putting that pressure on yourself. I have never once written something up and had any sort of negative consequence. That's not a thing.

If you have truly had management/MOC whoever tell you to fly with something broken contact the union immediately.

I have seen on a few occasions the chief pilot calling someone over a decision to notify maintenance of a discrepancy while at a hub instead of pilot-deferring it in the name of preserving D-0...

How is that that different than what Mx will do? Probably just laziness

Uhhhhh I’m pretty sure you still need to notify them of pilot deferrals.

I should reword myself and say that it’s notifying maintenance at the hub to have them come out as opposed to just contacting MOC and getting guided through the process of deferring something. The reason being that a delay ensues when maintenance must come out... I don’t honestly know which would take more time- deferring yourself or having MX do it for you. Kind of like deciding whether to take the JITNEY or walking down terminal 4 at JFK.

That's not telling someone to fly a broken airplane or pilot pushing. A pilot deferral should be a 5 minute exercise. If you choose not to complete that 5 minute exercise and leave it to MX then maybe you'd get a call but I never have. And IF you (or this person) got a call, did discipline result? Because if not, so what.

If that's the level of pilot pushing we're discussing then you have no idea how bad some other airlines have it.

I don’t know, I honestly don’t think multiple advisory phone calls from a chief pilot lead to discipline but I’m not in management so I can’t say for sure. Not here to have an argument, just contribute to a conversation. I like it here regardless and I just thought it was odd for one to be called about that. No one is flying broken airplanes here obviously.
