Also that the CO did present the Union possibilities on premium pay (125-150%) on specific times, but they could not agree on a package.

KCM, as I understood the letter, we are gonna get it if MEC let's the mgmt pilots stay on sen list?

Hats, if we get them, we GOT to wear them. (Essentially, careful what we wish for).

New Sims waiting FAA sign off.

Hiring will continue strong, indefinitely.

Just finished meeting with FAA to evaluate our infrastructure to accommodate growth, "FAA says we are good to go". (Lol)

And lastly he said
Stop (wining), others have it worst, start looking at the positive things we have here at The Spirit of NK. (I tend to agree in some respect, we do have a lot of good things here, perhaps more than negative things).


Now waiting on conf call.

Any airline as far as I know.

Careful with leaving and not showing up on monday, not studying, or practicing your flows with your sim Sidekick.

But im sure that goes with out saying. Its your new job to loose.

Welcome to the world of NK.

I can relate to your situation of needing to go home for a day or two for family reasons. You can also jumpseat on other carriers but you won't be in cass for the first 3-4 weeks, so you'll have to sit in the back.

Thanks guys
