SWA has treated me very well when I jumpseat. Why try to one up everyone as an anonymous poster on a bulletin board? People that bad mouth others online rarely have the balls to do it in person.

The guy from London could have been sick. Do you really think every international pilot feels that way ? One of my Southwest buddies now questions why he left Continental for Southwest since he sees a lot of legs in his future with not a lot of variety. He told me to think it through before rushing into applying to Southwest, which I doubt I will do now. I want the option to do different types of flying. And btw, who the heck are you? A lot of us like General Lee and enjoy his banter and enthusiasm. You know he is right about Southwest, it is a domestic only 737 operator that has productive trips. Not everyone wants that. He is right, and you aren't.

You are like Billy Mays trying to sell us on the benefits of a used turd polisher. We don't need you to tell us anything about General Lee. He can take up for himself. I think you may be the only person who enjoys the banter and enthusiasm. I can assure you that US doesn't not include ME in your above statement. Keep plugging along and you too can have over 14,000 posts.
 
Just ignore First Officer General Lee. I think he's always been second string in everything he's done in his life so he uses this message board to make himself feel better. His wife wears the pants in the family, as she is the major money maker according to the First Officer. Second in command of the captains airplane, etc. I'm sure he's about half the man he thinks he is. I've actually found out who is and if you go to the link he is the one on the computer.

And for SIC general Lee, before you say for the 14,000th time that you get layovers in Europe and so forth I've flown over the Atlantic more times then I care to count and its BOOOOORING flying.. Based on your posts I can guarantee that I have way more fun on a Lubbock overnight then you've ever had anywhere. I've been at SWA shorter than you have been at Delta but I'm positive my W2 and retirement would put yours to shame. And lastly, The last two trips I've flown were with ex Delta pilots who left after 9 years and they are making more money now then they would be making at Delta if they had stayed. Both say they love it here and have no regrets.. Anyway have fun with your second tier life and I'll enjoy mine because life is great and I don't have the inkling or time to sit at my computer and spew negativity all day long. I'm off to play some golf!!!

Thanks d- weed. What's great about this board is the ignore feature, and you are welcome to it if you can't handle Gen Lee. Face it, you can't. You can't handle his banter, and I enjoy it. You're loss.

General,

How many days does a Delta pilot on Reserve have off each month?
Click to expand...

I haven't been on reserve in awhile but I think it is ten off in a 30 day month and 11 in a 31 day month. Of course they probably get more off on slower months etc. Btw I have been on a great 9 day intra Asia trip so I haven't been able to see FI in a bit. Just did a great WWII tour of Saipan. Any other questions? How was ELP?

Bye Bye---General Lee

Easy Rod, that guy is a cheeseball. He brings nothing to FI. He can't even entertain himself, and I bet he tries often.

LOL!!!!!!! I was out of the country, something your company doesn't trust you to do. Am I right? Gimme proof... Wait, you can't. But, a city is calling your name, and it just barfed. It was AMA.

That's great. I don't think any DL reserve works 19 days a month unless it is a busy Summer month, and then they probably don't go over the average line value by much. I don't really know though. And when I fly INTL flights I often don't bring my computer, and my droid phone doesn't always work overseas. That's fine with me, though, I like to relax on the beach sometimes with no cares in the World.

Enjoying those intl' layovers?
 
Quimby said:
I've heard SWA also has layovers in HRL, TUS, and SAN.......all near the scary US/Mexican border.

What's your point?
Click to expand...

I do plenty of Mexico layovers. None are fun. I was just pointing out even some US layovers can be dangerous, like some intl ones.

9 day trip at Delta? That's a long time.

I've said it before. WN does fly international. We service ELP and HRL.

Gup

100 trips a month? That's a lot of takeoff's and landings. From the sounds of that, you guys are underpaid!
Gear up biatch!
 
It's easy to credit 110-120 trips a month and still get a ton of time at home. Big pay and plenty of time off..

No nine day trips required. Ouch...

How much do you think a 9 day trip or 12 day trip is worth at Delta anyway? Didn't Lee say his 9 day was worth 63 hours? That's pretty good. Sounds like a lot more days off in a row if you take one of those big trips. I bet the 12 day trips are senior for guys who commute. One commute a month would be nice.

Johnsonrod,

Your man love for the general is kinda creepy!!!

Are you jealous? Sounds like it. Were you in the Military? Maybe you like the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy. Sorry to disappoint you, but no, no manlove for the General. Maybe you think that way, but not me. He does make me laugh though, especially with these Southwest slams.
 
Great banter. The number of days off is 12 or 13, depending on the month. Reserve is long call--12 hour call out minimum--unless converted to short. I've averaged about 30% of my reserve days long call, sitting at home even though I don't live in base, in additon to those 12 or 13. Its been pretty good.

So, you're sitting 12hr callout at home. For discussion sake, we'll say St. Louis, MO. You get called at 8pm. Can you get to base by 8am?

You seem to have a real hang-up with military people. Did you "ask" then "tell" at one time?
