No offense but no koolaid. Management, instructors and union reps all talked about the same issues with different views. Everyone being very friendly, helpful and sincere in their views (from where they sit). Honestly as pleasant as new hire at UAL without the stress of being a new hire. Think a view shared by most if not all of the pilots in the first class.
Frats,

I'm one of the Guam vols. Build the line 18 on and 12 off if you want. Mostly one day trips. A few multi day trips. Will eliminate some of the issues of domestic reserve.

I'm around the middle of the seniority list and I think I may have to do two. Reserve could be pretty nasty now that we are so short - with the potential of having to do three of the things per month. But even without, there will be so much open time, particularly for FO's, reserve could get pretty ugly. Dec will be much worse.
This flying is all connecting traffic off the UAL 74. Before anyone on here starts whining about "whipsawing", we lost our HNL-GUM-NRT 76 route to UAL 77. Frankly I could have done without it...

That pretty much just got shot to hell - flying out here just took a turn for the worse. Adding a 5-day NRT/HKG/SGN/SNG/GUM pairing starting Nov. Once a day, everyday. We've been telling them for months we're not even close to being staffed for this but apparently the bean-counters aren't drug tested. As it stands now WITH the TDY's just about everybody will have to do at least one. But the contractual period for TDY's runs out next month and it's supposed to go to a SEVEN day pairing. Don't know if it's even possible but I doubt the union is in any mood to waive the TDY issue right now. I would hope not.

According to the station the newly appointed manager of the region that made this decision has already left.
On a positive note this will free up a lot of capacity to HKG, since we now will so limited on through passengers we can accommodate.
Is this what they call synergy ??
