June '10 Marquis Jet Card sales

Whatever....

I am flying my cahones off ... in the slow season. I am not use to working this hard. 4 day tour and considered fatigue twice. If the flying picks up more they are going to start seeing fatigues, I predict... and they will know its time for Recalls. If that happens it will prove Santulli was right about riding out the Recession without furloughs.

What 2 months ago people were worried about another furlough. I don't see it.

Could it be as simple as the company selling smaller shares in airplanes? Used to be 4 owners per plane. Now you could have 8 per airplane. More people to fly around but the financials aren't actually any better. Its just more people owning 1 airplane.

Thoughts?

Selling smaller shares and cards ... means a lot of demand gets pushed onto the same days....

Thats probably why they wanted relief from the selloff limits....

and why i am exhausted after only a 4 day tour... with 3 days between 13 and 14 hours. I haven't worked this hard since i was in the X. We're not supposed to work this hard in the Falcon.

Exactly. The new slogan should be "We do more with less." And gun, why aren't you fatiguing if you are thinking about it? You are either fatigued or you aren't? Just wondering as I sit on the sidelines unemployed.

You can't fatigue now or else you risk losing a sick day

wonder how much the OT rate is for a Falcon captain? may explain a few things......

More with less. I think a "few" of us predicted that. Half a year later the union addressed it a little bit.

So let me get this straight. Company schedules crew to duty that may compromise safety. Crew makes the decision to fatigue. Crewmember is punished by being charged a sick day for making a professional call. Has that changed since January 15th?

What are you talking about? I just fatigued a couple of weeks ago; it's a non-issue, as it should be.

The only "penalty" is spending two minutes filling out a little survey on the Blackberry to (supposedly) help them figure out why you fatigued. Although I'd prefer it if I could just type my answer: "Because you can't shift me from night shift to early mornings in one day!"

If you don't do the report in the required time you lose sick time.

This absolutely should not be tied to losing a sick day. Thats just pure wrong. There is nothing to even argue about.
