Mr. President, tear down that wall!

I told our RCC person that there are literally no trains that would get you there in time for 5am.

RCC: “81% of your bases pilots want commutable trips!”
Us: “Cool, are they going to make changes next month?”
RCC: “I don’t know, I’m just here to tell you guys what you told us!”

As long as ATL is happy, other bases are invisible.

This would be funny if it wasn’t 100% true. This airline runs at the mercy of ATL guys.

What do we want? Stop giving our turns and west coast overnights to ATL crews while us SEA crews do trips with every other landing in ATL staying entirely in the eastern time zone except for the first takeoff and last landing. Nah, too complicated. Here’s some NYC turns for trip diversity instead.

“When do we want it? NOW!”
 
The problem with "commutable trips" is that everyone says they want them but they they magically sit in ATL open time all month long. Then people like me that are at the top of the reserve call list end up flying them, as a local. It doesn't help that the company's definition of commutable trip is a garbage 5-day that reports late, with only short layovers, terminating into min rest with a 5am or earlier show on day 5. I'd rather fly a month of redeyes than that.

Your bid packs too, eh?

Is it really that much to ask for trips that stay west of the Mississippi River and finish before 1pm? I don’t mind coming up the night before a trip so long as I don’t have a 22:30 release that is too long to sleep in the crew lounge and too short to get a hotel.

Sounds like we have the same people building our pairings. They displaced a bunch of pilots out of Denver and now are building trips that have all Denver overnights and in the middle fly turns out of there. :bang:
 
The wall has been obliterated. 2015 hire holding 330A. Crazy. I didn’t think I would get this close to a wide body so soon.
 
I can hold SEA330B now too. It was extremely tempting to put in my bid but, alas, even if I wanted to I’m constricted by real life evens that I can’t take time to spend a month in Sim-lanta til at least late 2027. Pity too as that would make the apartment shopping in Paris a lot easier.
