The gravy chokers may have to actually get on a plane and go to a picketing event.

Maybe we picket Miramar?
That's rediculous on FLLs part. Maybe the next shareholding meeting?

Most of the "gravy chokers" are based and live in FLL. Why would they have to get on a plane to go to a picketing event???

Seems like you have wayyyyy too much faith in the company to actually be able to use the standing available list and maintain compliance.

I have made thousands over the past year because of their ineptitude and never touched an airplane.

But please, flame away because of your ignorance.

Because the airport will only permit 4 pilots at a time. Reading comprehension

Miramar? Lots of pilot groups have protested outside their company headquarters away from airport property.

To be fair, it is a 4-month upgrade at Delta now most junior CA hired 6/6/16 for NYC MD88.

Why do captains feel the compulsion to adjust the out time to reflect an "on-time" departure?
It's seems to me the temptation would be to stall for one extra minute and have late departures every leg every day.
Don't you guys know you're just helping Euro and Bendover look good and sabotaging any leverage we have with their obvious lack of crew staffing.
Aren't we trying to show investors how screwed up our management really is? Even if you're not inclined to slow down a little bit and be extra safe, why do you feel the need to go into the ACARS and adjust the out times when you do run naturally late?

Maybe. If I recall our "headquarters" is stuffed back in a business park. Maybe on the sidewalk on the main road.

That is beyond frustrating! Last week we give the ramp the clear to push after traffic behind clears and this MFer starts to roll us long before traffic clears to get the on time. Let's say I doubt he tries that again.
