What's an ID? Someone needs to read their FOM. Did you know the passenger loading bridge went away?

So if it went away, how do they load the passengers?

That's quite alright. I still call "sam" and it's "cockpit windows." Years of habits. Who cares?

But this is the important stuff! Just don't get crazy with it and try to meet for a briefing in a 'weather room.' I sentence you to additional torture and death by CBTs from now through Phase 7.

This survey has a pretty low participation rate, but 30% of guys say that they call the crew desk or wait for a call.

I know some people think they are punishing the company by overloading the crew desk with calls, but that's really NOT what's happening.

The company can care less that the crew desk is working twice as hard. They won't increase staffing. What DOES happen is that a reserve has to try for 20+ minutes to actually talk to a scheduler (when they call to pick up a trip for instance).

Let's all just grow up and use the automated line or the computer.
