That's sick. Larry says it's a good thing you went back to the NW. He also mentioned you having door issues one time.

Yes Larry from Horizon...commute is pretty painless so far. How's the door?

 

[propsarebest]

The door is just fine, thanks for asking.

Say howdy to Larry for me. He's a real great guy.

 

[propsarebest]

Btw, How is it a Redwood???

How many people ya got there??? and more importantly... HOW IS THE PAY??

Ya Larry's a good guy. Things are good once the last 2 DX's show up we'll have 11. It's nice not to be surrounded by a bunch of old embittered TWU grandpas who only think of themselves. Pay is great a lot more than I ever would've made at OO. Most importantly I've made some very nice FA contacts already.

My grandma thinks it's great.

Looks like our guys finally signed their TA at ASA.

 

[propsarebest]

yea, good to hear.

 

[ASA DX]

it was getting rough there for a while..after a couple of years of that crap i bet i could be a nice used car salesman...sometimes you feel like you are a mediator btw the pilot group and the company on running a flight and it all gets taken out on you..the were pretty hard to work with there for a while...hopefully things starting smoothing out.

 

[propsarebest]

I know what you mean, we are going thru the same here...

 

[homerjdispatch]

My grandma thinks it's great.

So is that jailbait/wife out of the picture now?

What is up with you guys doing "Comm. system checks and position checks" over ACARS. I feel like typing back, "Tell the FAA I said hello".

The FAA wasn't happy with our success in contacting flights ground to air after they conducted an observation/check (watched over our shoulders in OCC) last month. The result is that your dispatcher might try to contact you during the flight for a "com check".

 

[BCpilot81]

I appreciate the reply, I was just curious because even as late as last night at approx. 8:30 pm (Sunday). We got one of those messages stating comm check and asking for position on the way back from PIT. I, along with many others, are paranoid that some fed is just looking to bust us ALL. I just did not think they would be there last night, especially on a weekend. So I guess my next ? is, have you all had the feds up there at night and/or a weekend?
