For those of you trying to see future awards try going into DBMS>BIDS>Advance Entitlement>Advance Entitlement/Displacement Preference. You will have to enter our password again just like your changing your preference but it should show your most future category.

On another note I guess we have to bid on December before we know if we could be going to training in December since the Bid for schedules closes Sunday at 1600E and the first training says it could be December 01.

Maybe we can play that card and get the results posted this weekend.

Welp, I'm still hanging onto ATL fifi.

I've tried various methods of looking to see if people around me got bumped, as well as backdooring it on Crew Resources, but it ended up like this:

Most airline pilots have experienced a few "dump and burns" here and there (particularly after international flying), but few are this spectacular:

I would like to hear alfaromeo explain again why that can never happen.

You know I am right there with you, but in this case I think it is different.

I think what is going to happen is that Mgt grants this contract to emerge from bankruptcy - stand alone...This locks in Mgt's bonuses.

After emerging, AA and US/AW merge - oof. Horton turns over the reigns to Parker who then bait and switches the AA pilots.

This contract is all about Horton getting his bonus and not about a big win for APA. My short and not so humble opinion.

What most people don't realize is that the F111's air-to-air kill ratio is 34 to 5 (most with the Israeli and Congo Air Forces), making it the highest-scoring Douglas fighter of all time.

The Douglas F-86 Sabre is runner-up with a 17 to 15 ratio:

Note that this is the Navy version, known as the F-3D-5CY-4h Sabreliner II. It carried a crew of nine, including a tailhook operator.
