SWAPA unhappy with new FT/DT rules

[Raoul Duke]

I agree that SWAPA should be able to petition to be exempt. This is definately going to negatively affect our paychecks.

OH NO! You won't be able to brag about how much you make. HORRORS!

That's funny right there!

 

[SWA Bubba]

I suspect he was just yanking YOUR chain. But regardless, he'll still be able to brag about making more than you, Fubi. And, of course, you'll still be President of the SWA Haters club, sticking a slam into every thread you can.

Pretty much normal ops; nothing will change.

Bubba...

Just because someone critiques you doesn't mean they hate you. I guess every teacher who gave you a C in school hated you.

You boys just need to get over yourselves.

Hating is a compliment, bubba- you're not right until the losers start whining about you

And fubi- you're definitely a hater! Just think you need an urban dictionary or a conversation with someone 20 years younger who can somehow explain it to you-

 

[Fubijaakr]

Once again, the arrogance of SWA pilots rears its ugly head. Look up hubris, boys.

Pot meet kettle.

Nothing like incisive anal-ysis.

 

[waveflyer]

Hey, don't make my arrogance all of swapa's

I alone am responsible for that
But then again, everyone loves me and I didn't get C's, so....

 

[waveflyer]

Anyone know how the duty time/168 hours is going to affect our schedules, yet?
With the average WN schedule can we fly more or less?

 

[Fubijaakr]

As am I. However, it amazes me how the FI SWA group can be so defensive when you're all so obviously superior to everyone due to your large....

...paychecks.

Yes we can fly up to 9 hrs per day. I don't see how this limits our pay. It's just the tournament level players that are looking to fly 24/7.

 

[waveflyer]

Well, no level 10 player here- just like to travel and wish 30/7 wouldn't keep me from grouping my flying together more- I've got a lot of FA friends who get whole weeks off just by flying 6-7 in a row- wish we had that option-
So my question isn't about flight time in a day-
It's how does the 60-65 hrs of duty/168hrs relate to the 30/7? And verifying that 30/7 is going away-
The FAA doc is actually a good read- all the comments from various airlines- but I'm finding it tough to see the actual ruling condensed
