Coming up on 94 hours of Standby for the Month.

[atpcliff]

Hi!

At my "airline" I was told we are paid to be available, which is a lot like the frac situation sometime.

94 hours of STBY for the month?

I knew a guy, really well, who once had 240 hours of STBY in 10 days!!!

yeah, but was he in the fbo or crew lounge for those 240 hours?

 

[atpcliff]

Hi!

Yeah, that's true, it wasn't the crew lounge.

It was the Holiday Inn in OKC next to the club with the indoor bull riding on Fri nights.

Webster, Definition of sitnresrv: adj; noun;

somebody has there panties all bunched up.

A person who can't take any criticism against NJA.


You know if you read the whole thread, you realize by all the guys who can't stand anybody saying anything bad about nja. Who can't take any criticism? The STFU comment was referring to all of the mature comments made to me earlier in this thread. Try reading the whole thing.

Immature huh? Guess calling me a child and pathetic, is sooooo mature. You to sir are a true professional. I have no problem debating or even arguing about the subject in question, but just insulting me and calling me names shows what type of person you truly are.

Sitting standby 12 hours a day at TEB sucks, yes. However if you have kids like me, the quiet time to read, surf the net, snooze, or whatever the hell else I want to do is GREAT when you've been running around like a chicken without a head for a week. I'm just thankful to have a job. Does this mean I agree with everything that scheduling does and that it doesn't piss me off sometimes? No and No. However, they do have their reasons most of the time. Just be glad that you have a job!

 

[Schrode]

I agree. Make the best of any time you have - anywhere! My wife would love to switch with me! She only needs one of those pesky ATP thingys.

Heck be glad you have a lounge chair, or be glad they put you in a hotel, or be glad they give you food, or be glad you get 10hrs.

Please get real....

Smoke,

I have noticed a big difference in philosophy lately from your department. Spent a couple days on duty at home and went home early one tour. It's not going unnoticed. Because of that, I am more rested and have a better attitude when the red-eyes or the multiple five leg days come up.

Shocking if you treat us like humans and adults not robots and idiots amazing things can happen.

I agree, 100%. 400 sounds like a nice fleet to be in.

 

[soccer.1860]

It's just the typical 400 FO sitting at home while they continue to use Capt/capt pairings. I wonder why I haven't seen any of this benefit in the 400 fleet?
