When he woke up he jumped and jerked the wheel to the right. I think we all thought we were gone. The FA in front of me was the only one not wearing a seatbelt.... he quickly donned it.
It always amazes that almost none of the crew members buckle their seatbelts in the vans. I always don mine. I've seen a lot of close calls.

I've been on the horn with DALPA about this since January and basically their reply is this:
  • 80 raw score represents 5 or 6 days flying and a short call and that is why we will stick with it. It's low enough.
  • This implementation was exactly designed to bring seniority back into the reserve system.
  • Under the old reserve system senior pilots did not fly for weeks and junior pilots broke guarantee on a regular basis. The company wanted to equal this situation out hence the RUO/RAW system, but that relegated seniority out of the system, the SOT was directed to correct it, company said no, SOT pushed for YS to a point or as far as we could.
  • Upon reply80 raw score is not too high, it only represents 5 or 6 days of flying plus a short call.

See that part about the company wanting to equal out the situation? I think they will figure out a way making it a... well... I mean who cares what a cow thinks?
"80 raw score represents 5 or 6 days flying and a short call and that is why we will stick with it."

So if I say something like "my pay raise is actually 5% 10% 5% 5%" does that make it so?

Maybe 6 days of flying and a SC that gets you a 2 day trip will get you into the second bucket, but 6 days of flying and a SC alone will not do it. Well, maybe if all 6 days are 15-hour days......don't know the parameters they're using to come to this conclusion. Find it interesting that even though this is patently false it's still put out as supposed truth.

In reality, bucket 2 of 80 actually requires about 40 hours of credit.

Interesting. I've been here since yesterday and all I've seen are old people and crew members walking around.

Yeah, I'm calling BS on that too. If that is what DALPA thinks 5-6 days and a SC gets you then they need to be drug tested. It's going to take more then that to get to a RAW of 80.
