Agree. PE probably would make an outstanding director of training. But, as you said, that probably won't happen. Logic and rational thinking have no place in day-to-day airline operations.

And then, over more drinks, Doug outsourced flying to TSA and XJT. Lots of drinks to be had. I hope Doug didn't drive home...

You think that guy would have a chauffeur by now. I mean honestly how many dui can you get?

Well, yes. However this individual can have an effect on each pilots career here at TSA so you should care about who gets the job....

The reserve rules are meh. We have long call, but it pretty much always gets converted to short call, airport reserve or being assigned a trip (without limit). Right now they use reserves a lot, and they won't play games with trying to keep you below min guarantee, so you'll at least make money.

Cancellation pay is leg by leg, and deadheads are paid at 100%.

Airport reserve is a 5 hour credit for 8 Hours. Normal reserve is 4 hours for a call out to fly. All call outs are 2 hours, long call is 12.

RDU is officially opening next month. Looks like every new hire and their brother got stuck into RDU.
