I’d say more like MONTH’S..

Sweetheart I know you're new to the airline and it's hard for you to wrap your head around how reserve and stuff works. But the question was "commuting FO to have a life".

That means off of reserve, weekends off mostly, and trips that start/end to commute in/out day of. You realize when a company cant staff that doesn't happen quickly right?

Looks like we're down one plane.

I had a day turn down that way today so I actually checked the LA area airport weather in several locations and can confirm it was indeed spicy. Certainly not yawn.

SNA isn't typically a "yawn" on a good day, let alone in storm influenced rainy weather, at night...

Could be, at first take I thought something in the truck failed during rollout, but the photo above does look more like what you said.

If they are not ratified, then they are not rates.

Jetblue goes to $330 on August 1. And while it says nothing about 'ratified contracts,' it does take a snapshot of hourly rates on September 1st. No new rates, no new bump.

Yea?

Blind optimism wins again.
