Congrats!

If I may, were you called about the class today?

Thanks!

Actually I was emailed 2/27 for the 3/24 class but I can't get back from overseas in enough time to get the drug screening done so was placed in the 3/31 class.

Well of course the email said "classes aren't totally set in stone"

29 days is ages for things to change!

Thank you, kindly, for the information. Hoping to join you in that class!

DG1000 - I sent you a private msg.

I think you interviewed same day as me. You are in Japan, right? I walked in while you were waiting for panel. No call for me yet, but hoping for that 31 Mar class.

Welcome Half-Wingers - first round and dinner is on me :)

For those lucky people who get a class date, how is seniority determined within your class, SS number or age?

Once in class, seniority and base/aircraft choice is based on date of birth.

Shrek are you a Capt now? Just curious.

Yeah, thats me! Glad you got the offer as well!

I've got an ALPA battle star actually.

Not sure if I'll wear it though. Free beer sounds nice...:rolleyes:

He's an 07...lots of new hires on the 76T and 756. Nothing wrong with a non-Captain carrying on the tradition.

Didn't know there was a "tradition." :confused: Happy to buy a beer once in a while, especially for a bro, but didn't know there were certain "rules" for FO or Capt. I don't know the guy or his hire date, that's why I was asking him. Again, was just curious.

By tradition...I meant half wingers not having to buy beer during their first year. Many half wingers have never had to pull their wallets out on an overnight....or that's how it used to be.

I was just pointing out that on the augmented crews...if the Captain isn't out with you, it's great if the other FO picks up the slack and treats the half winger.

I can see buying a beer for the other guy/gal once in a while if you're also an FO. Always buying? No. Buying dinner as well? Nope, sorry. But certainly happy to get the first round on occasion.

To each, their own.

I certainly never expected it and always offered to pay, but I think I bought 1 or 2 meals my entire first year at United. The EWR 320 guys were very generous in that regard. It certainly has inspired me to do the same when I'm in that position. Either way, welcome to all the new guys! I wish you all a great career here.

Of course. Not debating that at all. As an FO buying another FO a European dinner for 25 euro after a beer and a meal "always" is a little stretch, sorry.

My main gist was trying to figure out what the "tradition" is with these certain rules. Not slamming it, just trying to figure out where Shrek was coming from.

Like the poster said prior to me, when I was a new-hire, I was also gracious when a Capt bought me a beer, or even a meal. However, it was never mandatory with certain rules and I don't think it should be.

As you said, each to their own.

You're absolutely right p4g. It's really sad to see this tradition slipping away because guys are too cheap. Like you say, even it it's just two f/o's, it should still apply. The non-halfwing f/o is making way more than what the halfwinger is making. I guess people can always come up with an excuse for being cheap.

My first trip off IOE a couple years ago the 60+ yr old CA asked for separate checks on our first cheap dinner. I did not expect to be treated but found it kind of funny.

That said, even approaching 3rd year pay I have a lot of CAs who insist on buying at least one meal.

Please wear the half wing.

You are new to our culture, but a slick tie is highly offensive to a Legacy UAL guy (and more recently Legacy CAL guys too!)

Yes,but would I offend anyone by wearing my ALPA pin w/battle star instead of the half-wing?

And possibly short myself a free beer? Lol...

Half wing on your tie. Battle star on your jacket lapel. They'll cover that on the on the second afternoon in indoc.

I'm in....got call today. Class is 10 deep and same drop as DG reported. I offered to slide +\- if it meant 757 but was told no 75s in new future as of now

No and won't be for awhile - just picking up the slack for the other cPTs that won't.

That is awesome to hear - we have hope yet :)

I am in too. Same as above with no 75s and no Newark.

Ill buy you a round for being a fellow glider pilot:)


Welcome new hires to SFO!

Monkeyfly, PM sent.

Glad to see some more new hires getting SFO!

Guppy folks, PM me if you want a post BI / pre-initial study plan.

Spoiler alert! Not the same TK BI Kumbaya vibe down here in IAH. Don't be surprised if seasoned LUAL or LCAL pilots don't share the same stoke you have leaving indoc. Not a depressed atmosphere at all, just more even keeled. One on one, veterans appear appreciative of the new hire enthusiasm.

God Save The Ball!
