For AM shifts, California Burrito will do for b-fast along with some SBucks.

Four hours of your time, plus the commute. Free. Nice.

We used to have to sign in but I don't know if that's required any longer. I haven't signed in for a long time and I've never heard a word. If there's a bald 767 skipper down there with orange all over his bag, don't loan him an Andy Jackson under any circumstances. You'll never see it again.

About 40 mins prior to its completion I start heading for the UN bus. I mean, I stay dutifully till the last minute. I stand right at the FOSR desk with a cheerful and eager look. You see, I am building multi-engine turbine time so I can get an airline job and I don't want to miss an opportunity to fly.

FSB...because they can.
Thanks! I didnt see anything about a sign in...hopefully thats gone.

+1 Don't ever forget that postings here were used against us in court. The worst part is that they were given or showed to the company by a L-UA pilot, who is still working here.

Is anybody else seeing FSB or short call available on aggressive pickup? About half the time since 12/30 have had to call to even pick up a trip through aggressive pickup.
