Excellent, three more minutes for me then. This reserve stuff may not be so bad after all!

CS is very bad at giving out trips out of order. What's more is they do not credit you correctly on e-trip and as a result e-trip. got ready reserve-3:45 credit, not 4. I did a nap the other night that was just shy of 11hrs scheduled. etrip says 3:45. Pete says that the Union is gonna have to get a little nastier with the company as they have had plenty of time to adjust to the new contract. Bring it on. Problem is if we don't let the union know when they screw things up the union doesn't know the problem is there in need of fixing.

Bingo. Bitching on a message board does not get the problems fixed. Screenshots and printouts do.

I love the fat tire!

 

[JumpersAway]

Fat Tire is a great beer! I had a great wheat beer in Wichita not too long ago- Boulevard Wheat I believe it was called. For now, I'm on a Sam Adams kick- love the Black Lager and Irish Red.

I think the best kick in the face I've ever tried was Arrogant Bastard Ale. Definately a different kind of beer- think it was brewed with more hopps than any other beer out there.

Yup, it's back to reserve in a couple of more days. I start and finish OE over the next three days and then I'll be the plug on the -200. Got a lot of reading to do regarding the contract. I skimmed over it to get the gist prior to the vote, then put it down and hit "master dump" til now. I got spoiled- was only on reserve for one month as a newhire......this is going to take some getting used to.

 

[PooPooPants]

Yeah, I just started reserve this month and like you I only did it for one month as a new hire. This month so far it's been very uneventful. Just a two day as of now. Well, at least I live in Atlanta so I don't really have any reason to complain. Any other good ideas to kill time other than sitting at the pool getting skin cancer, working out and cleaning house?

Better get used to it on reserve. Come Sept. many more will be, and those of us that are now will continue to be for a long tiime. I think downgrades may even happen.

Politely hold scheduling accountable and they will correct the problem with a call out of order. I have several times. Just have the info ready for them. Print it out and give it to PD with facts so he can have examples to use.

I'm saying do this even if they fix it, so they wont do it to others in the future.

Shoot, in August there are already gonna be about 130 reserve captains if they have another month of 370 lines. Come Sept/Oct when the ATR guys move over and the block hours drop, I'm guessing there will be around 150-170 reserve captains on the 200.

I've only been here for four years. Has ASA ever downgraded before?

Yup, when the Brasilias left

I don't suppose the contract lets me keep my captain pay if I get dumped back to FO?

wishful thinking I know.

 

[PooPooPants]

As far as pay goes, whatever. I'm not making that much more as a reserve captain than I was as a FO crediting 90 hrs per month. But I'd REALLY hate to have to give up my fourth stripe.

I am with ya there.

If you're downgraded you still get to wear the stripe so there shouldn't be anything to worry about. Chicks will still think you're the man.
