AAL Scheduling glitch

I wonder where the Skybus people ended up

Most went for the free type, knowing they wouldn't be staying long. It got them the 320 type (with a little time in type as well) and maybe put them 6 months to 1 year behind wherever they were going to go anyway. And remember, at that point in time, nobody was hiring and the key to an expat job that paid well was a type with time in it. I suppose I could deal with looking like a Park Ranger for a few months to leverage a better paying contract gig in Asia or the Sand Box back in 2008.

Why'd you leave?

I was 35% in the category. Just about every FO senior to me could hold it as a captain. It reached the point where I was ready to use a pimp hand on some of those ROADs. Seriously, not all asshats sit in the left seat.

Besides, after 17 years, it was time for a change.

I flew with a guy at CPZ who left JB to go to Skybus because he was from Columbus... that didn't work out so well. He's lucky he had the flow through. There were quite a few Skybus at CPZ.

Or as one of Emily's coworkers described how kids of parents who work at airlines must feel; Mommy and John; mommy's on again, off again boyfriend.

Not how my kids view it at all.

Agree, those people are idiots. I NEVER felt that way either growing up in an airline family.

You're not really big on jokes, are you?

Good jokes, yes. Problem is, everyone thinks they only tell good jokes.

Quite a few at VX, perfect timing.

What's ROADs?

@Cherokee_Cruiser lets hear one!

Hey, not my problem you don't get jokes!

 

[Cptnchia]

What's ROADs?

It’s a military term. Retired On Active Duty. Means they show up to collect a paycheck, but don’t to squat.

1) yes, 75 hours is a "full" month

That's not even a full week and a half at most major FAA facilities

To get those 75 hours, you have to be away from home (even if you live in base) something like 300 hours. That's 75 hours a week right there.

I get it, somewhat as I haven't been in your shoes.

However, I lived away from my wife (with 27 yrs of FAA seniority) 6 days a week my last 6 yrs in the FAA, as the 2nd most senior controller at A80 and was forced to work 800+ hours of OT a year those last 6 yrs, whether I liked it or not.

Everyone's got a story, I don't know yours and you don't know mine. The grass is always greener I guess.

At what point does this become unsafe?

It’s settled. Full LOS with a retro payout to June 1 2017 and a 5:15 average calendar day effective 8/1/2018. Now for the BOD to vote on it and see what we gave up lol
