First month on reserve and I have a couple of questions. First I forgot to bid for Golden Days so I don't know which of my days of they are. Is it the x or * on my schedule? Second if I am on short call on my last day am I done at noon or is that only going into the golden days?

Thanks

The next 744B is not an instructor and sits around 8,600.

So why have instructors that cannot hold the aircraft? Hard to believe that no one else wanted to do it.

Instructors should be selected based on skill and ability, rather than seniority.

If they were able to interview and surpass the others seeking the position, I'm glad they got it.

Shouldn't they also have experience on what they are teaching? An instructor with that seniority # is on reserve and hasn't flown much since being trained on the aircraft. We have many more F/O's on the aircraft with the skill, ability and experience to instruct.

Didn't NWA hire outside instructors for some A/C and then after a certain amount of time move to the line or interview for a pilot job?
Is that how those individuals are possibly in their position? I'm not entirely sure how the program worked, but I believe I flew with a guy who had been a 747 instructor at NWA but was now at my regional.
