I can't see doing the entire thing again - totally unsat
had a similar incident with worldwide ops..crashed 3 times. try calling again on monday and maybe you'll get a more helpful person or try the training contacts in your letter. they were very helpful to me and i didn't have to do it again.

One of the biggest wins in the new PWA; IMO. DPMP premiums are now 22% of plan cost down from 31%.

I will be going that way too. I am maxed out on the HRA Gold right now and we still have a kiddo coming.

I'd be surprised if Bill is even a pilot here-or if he is, he is management of some sort.

*Does not mean they will keep all of the 88's Bill and you know that.
FtB stated we could lose the MD88s immediately as we gain 717s, resulting in immediate downgrades. If we get any replacement parts for the MD88s, that might mean the 88s could be staying longer. That would be good news, right ACL? I think that would be a positive.

I'm assuming that you are returning after an AD retirement. Welcome back and thanks!
Thanks Dragon and Buzz. You are correct on AD retirement. fNWA with some incredibly lucky timing. Blessed beyond measure.

Now you and T through statements like that without even thinking twice.

How about we try to stick together and improve this place?

$500 for the baby is nice, 77 hours for 20 days of work is not - face the truth, bro.
Agreed. We have a lot to fix, and making a list of items that are top priorities does not mean you want to leave. It means you believe you can make this place better for you and your fellow pilots.

Really? Because I am overly positive? I think things look pretty good from my 4th floor windo, ooops, I mean my 88 right seat....

Often. I also use my smartphone on layovers.

E-mail our MEC Skeds guys. They will look at it and tell you why, and that it was a good run!

You are below 60% so you get unstacked every month!

yes, you are overly positive about something that is underwhelming to most everyone. but if I was in your shoes I guess I'd be a glass full guy too.
