We had a rat once in the galley cart, lol. I can assure you that has happened at every airline, and will continue to happen.

Gonyon, I might be acting a prude but not sure that's great to be putting here. See thread "The Media Reads APC." We could also add "Litigious Attorneys Read APC."

Thanks. Good point

In his previous post he mentioned it was for FAs, which I hadn't heard. I don't think this was to scare us into thinking it was for us if the DL LOA fails. I really do not believe crew rooms are part of the brave new world of in-base training. Waaay too many distractions.

well, I hate being this guy but "at my last airline" which happened to have a really good training department, CBTs and other distance learning was approved in the Crew Rooms. Crew Rooms where Flight Attendants practically lived as well as watched TV and had cat fights

Those extra pilots boost your relative seniority which controls when you can hold a domicile or upgrade. The company will no longer be required to staff those extra pilots if everyone including those with 12-13 day off lines now trains on days off.
I completely see where you are coming from, but to play the Devil's Advocate, there will still be training conflicts, just not as many. The company will implement the EFB/DL per the contract anyway. Maybe they will be happy with that, and abandon an LOA revision if it gets voted down. Who knows? All I do know is that I do not bank my paycheck on a training conflict. We need our new contract to reflect a compensation package that gives us what we deserve so that we do not need to nitpick about stuff like this. Just so you know, I would never advocate for getting rid of our bidding conflicts, or even consider PBS, as some have suggested. We deserve a lot more, and our company, and the industry, is in the position to give it to us, willingly or not.

I'll be the "at my last airline" guy too.

We had a rat on one of our aircraft, even had a write up in the maintenance log book and pilot read files to be aware of the existence of rat traps positioned strategically around the aircraft.

This lawsuit seems to belong to the "frivolous and treasure hunting variety".

Lol. Where's the odometer again?

Was it in its own area or right in the middle of the congregating area?
