So he's showing his face in groundschool again? What if we all showed up to GS in green collared polo shirts? I might go shopping for one here sometime soon. I'm sure you can get one cheap at Kohls or Target.

Well they have 550 guys qualified to fly their NEO. Can you imagine the leverage if people didn't decide to do this via the Internet and they had a brand new plane sitting idle on the ramp. We are our own worst enemies again.

Regarding the contract negotiations - after having been through the last, trust in your MEC reps. Your expectations will be exceeded in most areas. Not all, but most. If you have any doubt direct your efforts on helping, or applying elsewhere.

That's not true at all. All but 3 of the civilians in my class were at their regional over 10 years with over 10,000 hours of flight time. There is even a very high time guy from Southwest; there is no maximum flight hours.

I agree but how do you know they did it on the Internet? I did mine on the sum total app early on and it seemed to work. I did not get a confirmation that I completed it but I did get all the parts finished. In hindsight though, I wish I never did it. It sure would be funny to see those brand-new shiny airplanes sitting there with no one to fly them.

I meant in general ," we are our own worst enemy". That's why I bold the phrase.

My guess is most did it on the internet because September is a slow month and they wanted their measly 5 hours of pay.

I have been so bogged down with DL for recurrent I haven't even tried NEO or stall stuff yet. Not saying I am in any type of rush either.

I will do the dl when the app works, as contractually required. I'm so f*+=!?g ****ed at this place. They won't even answer an email when you have a problem. I used to care when I came to work. I'd do my best at everything, but no more. I will show them the same respect they show us. I'm ****ed
