No, that's not what I said. In fact, the contrary: Dilbert, you know as well as I do that this is a pretty good gig. With the exception of the circadian rhythm train wrecks, our flying is pretty nice. Our QOL is high, even when compared to legacies. The pay/credit isn't so bad, especially come August of next year. Our vacation credit system is one of the best. And the transition language, well- someone got fired in Miramar for agreeing to it. Mix that in with organic growth and lots of upgrades and there's a pretty positive vibe around here these days.
The point of my remark was to ensure folks understand the snake in the grass that our management still is and why those of us that have been here awhile are so skeptical when things like this come up. Understand that we are not "bitter" in any way, only "wary"- and for damn good reason.

Do you get Ambien? I'm used to flying at 0600 one day, then rolling with NVGs and a 2200 takeoff the next, to slide to a 1200 takeoff after 12 hours of crew rest, all with the help of Ambien.

We need pairings that allow adequate sleep on a normal schedule. Not Ambien.

Figure that!
On the other hand, some of the best CAs I've flown with are ex military pilots.
And then you have the ones that ACT like they were on the military, trying to fly a mission from FLL to TPA and they learned everything watching Chuck Norris and jimmy Stewart.

Flying skills? Would you have expected any lesser from Walker?
He needs no clearance, no logbook, no FO, and no paychk, all goes to charity.

On another note, has anyone else experienced problems with Flica? epecifically:
Any of the menus that would show your current monthly schedule, on the left hand side, when you click to look at a paring, it takes WAY too long to upload, but not the open time parings.
??
Thanks

Yep....I just keep an electronic bid packet....much easier, and quicker, to just open the packet and look at the pairing
