You make it sound like that mattress is going to fly itself. Someone’s gotta do it😎

You'd think those guys would be embarrassed to even be part of the crew....

Thanks to those types I got quite a bit more stick time on the 777 than my seniority should have allowed.

Anyone know where it's posted (or how it's communicated) when an awarded lateral move takes place? The initial vacancy bid announcement said, "...Lateral activations may occur as early as the June bid month." Trying to figure out how to bid for June... thanks!

email Manpower Planning and they will likely give you an idea of what it looks like. It is entirely dependent on what the staffing is like where you are going versus what it is like where you are! If it is good for them to activate you quickly, then hold on to your hat!!

It thankfully didn't happen too often but when it did?

Oy vey.
Always fly with your favorite Capt...never fly with an A hole unless you feel like being one.

Live in base and like the non commutable trips

Well said

Couldn't agree more. You can not put a value on a SCAB free life, and I will go one contentious point further . . . a life free from 570's . . . the single biggest bunch of ungrateful, blowhards currently flying airplanes.
