Senior folks might be able to do it but otherwise it's a bit hard.

I think the most you can put into your positive bank is 5 hours per month...unless that's been changed in one of the last T/A's, which it may have, but back in the day, all you could deposit was 5.

Ever since we've been using PBS, I've been in negative bank land, so I'm not too sure what the max pos. deposit is anymore.

We have Mil Leaves returning, so we really do have new hires, yeah. They may be senior to you, and we didn't mention them during the TA roadshows but they are new hires, yeah, that's the ticket....

Can you refresh me on what Project Ignite is?

None of the LCPs reported any mention of hiring in the meeting... in fact the subject seemed to be actively avoided by the higher ups.

I think it's a after school hip hop special.

Anybody else read the letter in today's USA Today from an American pilot? Money section 5B.

Istanbul service resumption moved ahead 1 month. Now starts in late April instead of May 2013...

Completely unrelated to likely LH and THY merger ;-)

VS now will likely join SkyTeam...

In December, I have 1 week of vacation and 2 days of recurrent. How many off days will I have if I bid reserve?

Or, asked another way, does recurrent training count as off days, or work days while on reserve?

Thanks in advance.

We can do better.

Many of the people who you say are blind drunk on Widget-aid are actually doing union work. When you say "our ability to do better", can I assume that you're doing something to improve our condition, or do you just throw stones from the sidelines?
