CO..Delta VS Safety

[ACL65PILOT]

Quite well Plug.

Now if you want to come on over the next time around, you know I am more than willing to get your stuff looked at. I am not sure your wife will go for it though.

I know 4 people that left CAL for DAL. Good for them, I say go. I could care less.

I would not want DAL's contract ever. I do not like their reserve system.

Yeah "rolling thunder" is the pits. I would hate to get paid 100+ credit hours sitting reserve.

Good to hear.

I appreciate it and if you guys are successful at taking over the world I may take you up on the offer wife willing or not.

Lemme guess. Mesa grad, just happy to be flying a "big airplane" no matter what the pay or work rules. Plus you get to work with all those ex scabs.
Ok kid, we get it, now how much left on that loan?:laugh:

 

[Furloughed80]

I know a few people who left CAL for US Airways in the 80s. This career is a crap shoot.

 

[SFR]

What loan? I was Eagle then ASA then CAL..... from OSU.

No PFT for me... either way, I could care less.

 

[SFR]

Yeah, but with "rolling thunder" you actually have to fly. I don't want too.

 

[IAHERJ]

OMG, I think I know who you are SFR... Not like you to act this way on this board. I like CAL as well but we need to get some things done and real soon. Our reserve system is not that great when they are using you a lot. Good now for our equipment and base. Could change this Summer. BTW, nice visiting with you the other day while waiting for our French Visa's..... yep it's me...

SFR - Tell us how much you like reserve once they start calling you out on Airport Ready Reserve.

I honestly don't see the big deal in sending crews back to Mumbai. The terrorist attack has been isolated to one hotel and that appears to have come to an end.

Dude, You need to read the news... the terrorists shot up the two hotels, the train station, a gas station, a Hospital, a synagogue, some cafes and were attempting to shoot up the domestic airport.

It wasn't just a minor incident.

At the time of my post, the attack had been isolated to one hotel....Dude.

But that's my point, the information that we have as line pilots is limited. By watching the TV, someone might think that it was only the hotels, I saw in print articles the first day, still pictures from the the train station and the synagogue showing the attacks.

I suspect that as a large company with contacts in the our government, Delta had better information than you or I.

I agree. I am sure that Delta had good intel and I am sure that CAL had good intel. I don't fault Delta for not going, especially considering what their crews were subjected to in BOM. At the same time, I don't fault CAL for sending a plane over after the situation was apparently contained.

Trust me, my list of grievances will CAL mgmt is long but I don't fault them for this one.

Was in Rome now in Madrid. Would be cool if it wasn't a 5 day backed up by a 4 day.

Cheers

Oh yeah, the 12 hour callout sucks too! I played tennis in ATL with a buddy while he was sitting reserve in NYC on the 738, and no it wasn't on a Wii.

Glad to hear the real estate biz is doing well for you, "papa-roth", but if you think our contract is anything comparable to DAL's then I'd have to question your sanity.

BTW, maybe you should borrow my screen name, "plug". ;-)

Later,
