Despite only 10 openings per the announcement you will likely see 20+ awards. Some of them transfers to staff the flying and the rest being transitions that require additional time to get through the footprint.

They wouldn't. Their objective is to work as little as possible. A training event for a new airplane which will have god knows what schedule could involve work.

Well, I got my degree from Uncle Sam, so they only taught me how to spell Ford, Chevy, and 'yes sir'!

Actually my "good ole boys club" just plays poker on Thursdays and drinks cheap beer. Only one of us drives a Porsche, and he almost lost that in the divorce to his second wife, until he threatened to poison her cats! Crazy Bill!

Who's Walter Mitty?

Morale of the story...don’t get married, ever. Esp. if you’re a pilot.

Actually I think the moral of the story, when it relates to "Truthanator" is...

Drinking and posting on APC don't mix well.

And I am most certain that you understand the intricate specifics of this matter more than anyone else on APC, given that you lead the pack on this particular front....

I was reading through the SAPA VP candidate ads. Only one stuck out to me as any different than the rest.

BA's pitch wrote:

"I was not part of the past negotiations"

(I.E. I was not one of the ones responsible for pushing this last contract.)

"but will be pushing to open new pay negotiations to become industry leaders again"

I thought that stood out as well...

Meanwhile our president RJ sold a 1% raise to a majority of the pilot group and acts like he is doing the industry a favor.

Endeavor was already going to work the retention bonuses into their pay scales. With slight knowledge of the industry it was well known.

Republics new TA is also not a product of our 1%...

I know a lot of people wanted soft landing 2.0 to pass and I think this should be industry wide. But the pilot group should have had a vote on it. SAPA shouldn't assume anything.
