    Sleepy NWA pilots?

    HD, nice flame bait. Oh to live in a glass house, I do not. My, .02 is also to come clean... but via your ALPA lawyer if it deals with the company only, and via your personal aviation lawyer and your ALPA lawyer if you are dealing with the FAA. That advice comes from experience, successfull...

    Alaska Base pilot meetings?

    As a former AK guy this sucks to read. Hate to say it, but it will take the junior guys in both seats plus the senior guys who do care about those on the street, and there are plenty of them, to fix the problem. It is disgusting that folks VSA during a furlough, wow. When reserves get...

    Nice flyover!!

    The VANG should be banned from all BoSox flyovers indefinitely. All future flyovers should be performed by Marine Reserve Hornets followed by epic VIP passes.... oops, my inner dialogue escapes, S.H. Green Mountain Flyover!, Go Sox, Yankees Suck!

    Age 65 right around corner... 15 year upgrades at SWA!!!

    Rez, Luv, Flopgut, All great replies, and Rez, your consistent stance that democracy is not a spectator sport is valid, but from where I sit I really have seen a massive increase in participation in the last 18 months due to the age issue. Unfortunately, ALPA has felt more like a republic...

    Age 65 right around corner... 15 year upgrades at SWA!!!

    My relply to [email protected] after receiving their gloating announcement regarding the events on the Hill: Capt Prater, This legislation and the pro-ALPA stance that accompanies it does not reflect the views of this member, nor of the majority of the ALPA membership. Simply, the...

    ALK at $21.56 and falling

    I DH'd up to ANC for simulator training in September and was so disheartened with the state of my former co-workers at Alaska. I missed the last rally due to training, but will be in SEA for the next one. I wish I could revert to my former juvie and slightly criminal self, I have some great...

    Blue Angel crash at airshow

    LCdr Davis was an absolute star. I was priveleged enough to meet him last year when my friend and then Blue Angel gave me a ride in his backseat, an honor and a thrill. The Team goes out of their way to make everyone feel welcome and treats every individual as if they are the most important...

    FEDEX or Alaska?

    I left Alaska shortly after Kasher and have been at FedEx almost two years. I can say that of the two former AS guys I know at FX, neither of us regret our decision for a minute. That said, when it was good at AS, it was great, surfing with my mobile in a ziploc, and I made great friends...

    LAX-MEM commute for FDX folks

    Aloha, FX is an easy West Coast commute LAX-MEM. Most FedEx pilots commute on-line since they can reserve a seat, park and walk to the aircraft, and avoid the hassel the TSA brings to a passenger terminal. You can q/a offline on passrider.com, but I think NWA is the only direct flight...

    Best weekend x-c's

    My spelling will be out to lunch, but here goes: 1. Land Utapaou, layover Pattaya Beach, Thailand, pack your durex. 2. Osan special, GI Joes, I don't remeber anything else, but it was great! (Actually, I do remember the MP's busting my buddy Frag for being "out and about" past curfew, though...

    Age 65 2007

    Actually, and sorry to be picky, it may prove more than that. Class 1 or equivalent medical certificates are issued world wide under criterea which varies widely country to country, where the USA falls about in the middle. We have all seen and flown with 50 year olds barely able to climb a...

    Positives and Negatives of getting hired by Delta?

    Dude, Good news secondhand hot off the press... The FedEx CP plans to alter past policy and allow applications from pilots currently employed at major / all airlines effective with the next group of meet and greets. Some advice: 1. Listen to your OpsO. 2. Do your level best to get hired...

    Go Chargers !

    The Bolts would do well to take a lesson from NE, or more specifically, the BoSox, and can Marty. He's a great player's coach, best season and best team on both sides of the ball SD has had in years, but a terrible game coach. Grady Little got the BoSox to within one out of the World Series...

    Alaska - Record Profit.

    Ih8AFYesmen vbmenu_register("postmenu_1077317", true); , Great questions, but no way do I have the answers, and not just because "I'll let you know in 25 years." (Though that is a true statement as we all know. ) Both great groups of pilots, both good and bad flying, both aggressively...

    Alaska - Record Profit.

    I was with AK three years, LA-MD, bumped to SEA-737, then back to LA-737, now wrapping up year one at FX. I had an app continuously on file with FX because my wife is from Europe and we wanted the ability to live there. It just took a while to get a foot in the door at FX, though May 2005 helped...

    Alaska - Record Profit.

    Reading and wishing my former AK Bros all the best. I left a year ago and am still disgusted with the way Mayday went down, rampers, etc. Ayer and his kind will be long gone (to the BOD for Bill, sadly but probably) before the next contract is settled, but the stunts they pulled still leave a...
