Life at Compass

Captain's log, day 1:

Today I had to counsel the first officer about referring to me as anything other than "sir" and not "HEY YOU!!!"

Were you (crew)hanging out in DFW on the 17/18th by the E gate van drop of area around noon?

So hopefully this is only a short distraction from the lovely topic that is PBS strategy, but I have a query.

I'm LAX based and have managed to find a crash pad. Now my only problem is transportation. The owner of the place says it is about a 10 minute drive to the airport, which is swell, but i just really do NOT want to drive my car all the way out there. So my plan is to use Uber to get TO the airport. Piece of cake, but how do I get OUT of the airport with Uber.

Someone suggested to me that I can just ride one of the hotel vans then catch the uber from there. Is that doable? Do the van drivers care? Really, I guess, how are you LAX commuters doing it now?

UBER should be able to pick you up at the terminals now, shouldn't have to take the employee bus /hotel shuttle off property anymore

5 dollar surcharge and you have to use Uber black.

Cripes.

Actually, isn't that the same as it has been? You've always been able to order a black car, just not uber X unless they have a TCP.

Shrug..

Uber x still doesn't allow you to be picked up last time I tried it.. So who knows.

So why isn't Flica giving me the option to drop green coverage days on my RSV line?

I sleep. Wake me up when you need me on the tiller.

I have heard scheduling isn't allowing reserve days to be dropped...

The sunshade helps...a little.

If you believe there has been a violation of the contract, can you please send an email to CPZcontract@alpa.org

You aren't allowed to drop days on a reserve line, only swap them.

 

[middies10]

Must have fixed the glitch on FLICA. FLICA let me drop reserve days way back in March.

I've dropped days on a reserve line.

How's staffing going? Heard a couple new planes have been parked, any truth to this?
