I've screwed up trying to put one month's flying too close to the last month's flying. I've also missed GSs several times where I had a block of days off, but I hit the 100/672 limit.

You are working too much…less block, more credit.

I was watching over on London and thinking about you brother. It wasn't pretty and was even more lopsided than the score, IMO. Probably one of the better games my guys have played. Josh Heupel has done a good job with that program.

Wish I could. At my seniority, I haven't figured out how to work the system. 2x 6-day trips/Mo is pretty much what I've been getting. I am experimenting and seeing what folks around me are bidding on the reasons report.
I just put that other out as a PSA since it has bitten me in the past.

Check your email. RA's Campaign Letter for MEC Chair is quite impressive. Great qualifications and did a great job on the Union Podcast.

While I enjoy the podcast, I haven’t found him to be particularly “leadership” material, in fact maybe a bit corny at times. With that said, if his modus operandi was to use the platform to enable himself to rise to MEC chair it was masterful execution. It at least gives the pilot group a glimpse into who he is because quite frankly most of us don’t know anyone outside of our own reps.

His letter was very good, but whenever someone throws out that they went to HARVARD I give them the immediate eye roll of death.

Sounds like it will be him vs Kramer who is a wonderful pilot advocate but is def a bit disgruntled in general. I think we’d be OK with either.
