Altrnate Crew Pairing model at ASA

Oops, so sorry, didn't notice the displaced part. :0

If I recall correctly, last years F/A mixup was due, in part, to a last minute change in block hours that was handed down by Delta. This had nothing to do with ASA and "poor planning".

The only thing I didn't like about it was hearing the F/A's whine about not being comfortable about going to the hotel by themselves. Most of them are from the ghetto anyway, and if they can't get from the airport to the hotel with their big girl panties on, they shouldn't be working the job. I'm a pilot, not a flight attendant babysitter. They're big girls, and should be able to handle it.

As far as the IAD lines- it's the first month! There is going to be alot of adjustment on behalf of the crews AND management. Give it time, especially as the flying increases.

Sorry someone is going to be on reserve here forever. However, don't think you're going to get alot of compassion from a USAirways guy that's been on reserve for 18 years, a Delta guy that's been on reserve for 6 years, or a United guy that could hold a line 10 years ago, but can't and also got displaced with a brand new paycut.

Truth is, that as bad as we gripe, there are 136 folks that would LOVE to be dealing with what you are. Grin, bear it, and get the job done for them. This job is what it is, it will always be what it will be, and if you can't affect change, quit giving yourself a stroke over it.

He said he was "displaced". That means he is being forced there. Have some compassion.

IAD lines are under OurASA Crewbid/documents

Thanks!

Ain't that the truth. There's already one biitching on the ASA comments section.

1. If you are on reserve, but close to holding a regular line, vote for PBS, as there will be many more regular lines with any PBS.
2. 4 day trips are more productive because more 4 days result in less duty periords. If you have a shortage of crewmembers, pilots or F/As, and they fly the same lines, then more 4 day trips accomodates the shortage in any position.
3. Delta switches flight crews and cabin crews constantly. It works there, but they probably have more ground time.
4. Scheduling, or good schedules, like the beauty in a picture, is in the eyes of a beholder. ALL Pilots will never be happy, no matter what the schedules look like or the pairing mix.
5. A job is better than no job in this industry, and in this economy. I want this company to build the lines that will keep them efficient and competitive--I can adjust for trips and schedules that don't meet my greatest desires; I can't adjust easily to having no job with a failed or weakened company in this economy.

Bottom line: Count your blessings, Bus drivers--especially if you still have a job!

Possibly, because we have both been around and both have a well developed "Survivor Instinct!"

You really are an insufferable tool. How many other airlines actually send flight attendants to the hotel ALONE? At least at the majors, they travel in groups.

-Just wait until something happens-the lawyers are gonna have great time with that one!

-You really have no business working at a job with multiple crewmembers per aircraft. Do everyone involved a favor and take your silly ass back to some job which requires only one pilot-then you can do everything your way and argue with your own self when the ball doesn't bounce the way you like.

-JERK!
