No, but with a lot of the stupidity that has been taking place regarding mx paperwork and doing just flat out dumb arse things, the company is no longer turning the other cheek regarding it.

In regards to training, they have always followed the letter of the law and expect, due to the brain child at Colgan, that to continue. I fully expect the FAA to make things even tougher in regards to pilots being marginal and passing check rides.

Is there any truth to the rumors of the company trying to force out some of the older, higher paid captains through mx paperwork issues and/or training events?

No. Some older/higher paid captains are forcing themselves out via gross incompetence during training events.

lots of flying lately, and LOTS of charters

It is great to see, but it is the busy season. The real indicator will be in April/May when we start to slow down for the season. Here's to recalls this year. We have to many great folks on the streets.

It'll be great when folks stop requesting OT. How is it that a lot of our captains NEED it, and some how the Fo's are doing just fine without it... hummm..

Its pretty sad, but happens at EVERY company.

Why are you trying to make this an FO vs Capt thing? Surely you are smarter than that. This idea you have is due to your perspective. You are probably an FO that only sees when a captain gets OT. As a captain I see when an FO gets OT. Simple as that my friend. Don't get me started on CAFO.

Nope, I can't understand how a ca making north of 100,000 needs ot. There are only a few legite exceptions. we all have to cut back as necessary to make ends meet. Some of our guys on the street still haven't found work, no medical, a mortgage and a spouse that stays at home. Its tough out there. I've run into more than my share of Ca's bragging about all the OT they've scored. Talk to them a little more and you get to hear about all of their toys. I guess I haven't been around any fo's hungry for ot. Many of us joining the company more recently have been through many layoffs since 2001. I don't wish that on anyone. Lets get our guys back.
Where's the unity????

Mother Russia needs lots of money and the big mortgage + the luxury car need to be paid. But keep in mind that the more you work, the more left over catering can be taken home. So no need to go to the supermarket.

Did anyone see the clumsy attempt to suppress the topic of OT on Bluebelly? Two guys (one of whom has a reputation for being a total skeeze) traded a few shots, but the original message that started the whole thing was deleted.

Seriously, why not just delete the whole damn thread?

Pretty funny.

I remember that dude, what a tool.

On a positive note, a few of the furloughed FA's have been offered contract positions with Flex. My friend was told the flying is picking up a bit.

What's next-offering furloughed pilots part time contract positions?
