If true, that's astonishing and pathetic. Hell, I'm an FO and I buy half wingers beers. YGBSM. I hope that rumor is dead wrong.
FNGs, welcome! Please wear your pin on your tie. We have a LOT of work to do. Plus, that half wing really ties the room together. |

I would say around a year or more (76T). I would highly recommend going 320 if you want IAH. You would get that basically right out of training. Best of luck and welcome!

Verified.
A fellow 73 halfwinger Especially if you just spent Super Bowl Sunday night with me at the MSY Airport Hilton. |
I'm hoping to hear a damn fine speech from the ball on Wednesday.

Pathetic indeed. Got the IAH tidbit from a halfwinger who was sitting next to me at a pub on my layover in DEN. Said it rarely happened with IAH crews and was asking me if the tradition was dead. My F/O and I told him it wasn't and I promptly took care of his bill for him.
Shame that guys aren't doing the right thing with our new guys. Real chance to get this place going in the right direction, IMO. A sincere thanks for getting the half-winger's tab :) As an FO I pick up the tab for half wingers when I run into them because hopefully it will make up for the bad apples in the group. |
I saw a Captain last week with a set of half wings on. I had to ask the question...he said he just liked free beer.

If he wasn't on it - "Surprised your name isn't here." |
Who buys a capt with a half wing beers?
|
I do on their birthday...but not if they wear a half wing. That just isn't cool.

I've been treated very well by folks on the 76T in EWR. I just BATted to the 756 so we'll see how it goes there. Just did 764 IOE and the FOs picked up the tab, but they are L-UAL guys. LCA was AWOL.
I think the half-wing tradition is great and wish we had done it at my regional (ALPA also) where free anything on 1st year pay really makes a difference. |

That isn't something that we've discussed but I'm not aware of anyone in the class who does not have at least a four-year degree.

Seniority in class is based on age. Youngest bids last.

They had some I.T. problems that preventing anyone from getting a bid in before the close. They are trying to manually award the base transfers to those who wanted to bid them but were prevented from doing because of the I.T. problem.
