The bathroom floor reminds me of the floor in the bathroom at the public pool growing up... ya wanna go get your flip flops for that.

Why do people find it necessary to FLOP into the recliners in the lounge, instead of just sit in them. Half of them are bent to **** because many of our pilots don't know how to take care of what's given to them. Seriously, half of the chairs in there give me the "leans" while I watch television. Is it truly necessary to perform a tripple lutz before taking a dive into the chair?

No it's due to all the potbellied popcorn inhaling, crew meal gorging, Popeye's chomping rednecks that are about to pass out while walking to the next plane that wipe out the recliners. And when they stood up they sucked up the remote and walked away with it to be found by the little short janitor jammed in a plugged toilet on C.

Come on, no bites? This place is slacking.

I knew we were being bought by a bunch of toothless atl rednecks! this is going to suck worse than I thought!

I understand shi_t happens but our union is always like well this is what's going on and we let them. Really you let them what if you'd said no publish the DAL lines and UAL can wait but for everyone to be screwed b/c they got the flying late for one carrier is BS and I can't wait for XJT union heads to get voted in, I'm voting for them or someone new next time.

there were several new folks wanting a chance to change things and the same old bums got right back in.....hmmmm, suspiciously similar to the training department....and the CP's office too...

I'm just spitballing here but does it seem like its the same good ole' boys keep bouncing from one of those offices to the other?

That's what I'm talking about, thank you. Yep welcome to the "good ol boy network".

A day late and 30 less lines than previous months!?!?!? Why on earth upgrade 30 people for 30 fewer lines? They are just going from one extreme to another.

Fewer lines = more reserves. More reserves = fewer red arrow days.

Some people just can't be pleased.

 

[Redan]

I open the bid sheet and see that finally I moved up the list a good bit. Then after all the noise about finally upgrading some captains, I open the lines and find I'm no closer to a line than before, maybe further away. I give up.

 

[Stifler's Mom]

The back and forth stuff is garbage. Another month with 25% of the 200 Captains on reserve again.

 

[Redan]

May I ask you a couple questions please?

1) How much time do you have on the line?

2) How much time do you have on reserve?

Thank you

I could give a rats a$$ about red arrow days. I've been on reserve for 3 years. My question is.......why run so thin and abuse everyone for so long, and then do a bunch of upgrades when the flying drops off drastically!? We had 75 reserves for 330 lines before, and now 100 some reserves for 290 lines.

Anyway, enjoy your swapping and dropping.

Some of the lines are up in iad. Previous months have had 45 lines up there and there are 60 for next month. That is a result of atl doing all delta and iad doing all united. That would account for 15 of the lines.

 

[COOPERVANE]

I think the schedules will soon be 60 lines and 250 reserves=ultimate flexibility

Nothing to stop them from doing it!!

I was on reserve for 18 months, under the old system.

My point was only that the reserves were increased to help with the red arrow complaints.

 

[79%N1]

So super great to accommodate the line holders, not so great for the 30 guys that have had a line that get to go on reserve to ensure the rest can swap their trips, or the reserves that had weekends off that won't get them now. I'm glad the line holders are the top class in our system.

 

[LazyLightnin']

I'm guessing the high number of reserve lines is due to the fact that almost every frig-gin line in November has Thanksgiving on. Lots of sick calls. Guess they'd rather you be working than spending that time with your family.

 

[the palm]

I think we are going to be TDY'ed to IAD on Thanksgiving. How's that for the company showing how much they care about you and your family?

ATL reserve coverage in November = 35%
IAD reserve coverage in November = 0%

Hmmmmmm
