ASA April Lines

[OCP]

Here's and idea:

-Fire SH and things will get better! Every time they let that moron jack with the lines, things always get worse!!!!!

-Hit the bricks, Scott-we need to see you leave to "spend more time with family."

-A-Hole!

What makes you think that SH has anything to do with making the lines?

Because the Palm said so!

Crew planning (or mis-planning) reports to him... as far as I can tell from the emails coming from SH.

how many days off are you averaging with these low block lines?

 

[Snapperhead]

I really like six legs in the middle of a four day trip. I'm sure you're hallucinating by the time you get to the hotel.

Hey can someone help me figure out how to bid in this order: Naps - 3 days - 4 days..

I can't seem to get it to do it in that order.

Now I know I badmouth naps all the time, but I need to be home daily next month and that's the only option.

Bring back FLICA!!!

A number of these Captains are Line Check Airmen.
Line Check Airmen usually bid as Captains. With this new contract, the Company can withhold the lines awarded to these Captains from the First Officers bidding on the lines that these Check Airman have been awarded, for the purposes of Checking activities. That way, they don't have to remove a F/O from the trip to conduct these training activities and pay them to sit at home.

However, a number of these Captains are pilots that were not displaced back to F/O's. Why? Because they will be needed in the near future and it would not have been cost effective to have downgraded them, just to turn around and have to upgrade them again for the summer flying.

Thus, this explains the disparity in the number of Captain lines and F/O lines.

I'll buy it even though your Fabio avatar takes away from your FI credibility........:beer:

15-16 min. for about the first 200ish lines

True in the past however I haven't had a line without a fo since last summer and since we're about done with ATR guys I don't see that as an option next month, but hell man anything's possible.

Hahaha! I wanted to have the first all Italian avatar on F.I.! That should make John Penekamp happy!

I thought the idea was something like this. Say you have 100 hours of flying and four pilots. You can make 1. 100 hour line
2. 2, 50 hour lines etc.
Lets say that you have four pilot each payed a 30 hour minimum. 1 of your pilots makes $100 an hour. Another makes $65.

I'm guessing that in some meeting someone would say... "we are fat on pilots... so we have the luxury of making sure no one flys over there minimum pay".

Someone else would say "wouldn't it just make more sense to fire some pilots"

See what I'm getting at?

Wow, it must suck to have a job right now. I am sure the furloughed guys would not even want to come back with those lines...

I thought you hated naps and thought they were dangerous? You can't have it both ways! Remember this the next time you start ranting about doing away with naps! Some of us love naps!

I do hate naps. But hey, while they're here, I might as well use 'em when I need em
