14 day trip.

That would be perfect if you just had a blow out with the wife.

Leaving for Bangkok baby. Have you seen my roll of 50's? We'll talk this all out when I get back home. See ya!

When I was on the 320, all I ever bid were 5 day commutable trips. I went 5 months as a line holder without buying a hotel. As a commuter I loved them.

Funny how commuters lobby for longer trips- but cant count how many times those long trips fall to local pilots on reserve, or in junior lines.
Or end up in the VR/blank lines
Should add that to the next TA- you lobby for longer trips, you fly them. If I never did another 3-day again, I'd be happy.
I lobby for more turns- if more turns we're available to me, I would fly 3-4 more days a month- especially since we aren't usually legal for 2 three days back to back

Bill,
We wanted 6 hrs per calendar day, Carmen could only to 4+30. That's what is in the TA you voted for. Funny thing is the average pilot credits 5+17 a day.

You bash ALPA but then sing praises of the TA over on another board.

Voted No.....show me where I sang the praises of the TA.....

if you are gonna post that, back it up.

 

[say again]

How many days off do you get in between?

Well there is a guy with your screen name that voted yes on another board. Assumed you were one in the same. If not, good.

 

[ACL65PILOT]

How many days off do you get in between?

On a 14 day; depends. One a month starting the same day in the next month; 16 days straight.

That'd be awesome. Get all your work done in 2 weeks.

14 day trip.

Compared to my military TDYs, I'd barely have a chance to unpack my bag only being gone for 14 days. And since my wife's currently active duty military, she has a couple of TDYs a year for more than 30 days at a stretch.

A lot of time away from home is part of the airline and military lifestyle.

Not me....now I'm pi$$ed somebody has no creativity and can't come up with their own ideas....ie my name on another board.

Psssst which board?

Why do you care wave? I'm just curious why a some one who has nothing to do with Delta spends so much time and is so passionate about our airline? I'm guessing you were rejected or are bitter because we are getting your 717's. Either way, get over it. Does anyone know how to engage the ignore feature. I'm about to add my 1st to the list.

I think it's an acute case of Lubbocktosis.

For a while after the Pan Am merger, we had 11-day 727 trips out of Frankfurt, with a DH on both ends. It went very senior, and if you got a green slip .... ChaChing! imp:

I would not call that a merger.

Plus, according to all the internet sources I've seen, the original character was spelled with an 'H' at the end. Thus, Bill Lumberg and Bill Lumbergh are two different screen names. Hey, Bill, did some else beat you to the screen name spelled properly with the 'H' at the end? That could be the dude who voted yes and is making you look bad. Well... maybe not bad, but ... different.
