Also as a wrong thread TOTD nom, I got to listen to a FNWA bus capt lecture an AirTran jumpseater about how badly the NWA pilots fared in our SLI. Ugh.

If that was your fiance' and she was the hottest of hot chicks and she was a great person and was really into everything you did, it would be grounds for dumping her on the spot.
As far as the US gov't situation, going over the fiscal cliff would have actually solved some of the "problems" created by the gov't. Not to say it would not have been immensly painful for a large segment of the population. The cliff is coming, it just got a little steeper.

One of the funniest things about dropping the 8 digits to do this comparison is that the amount they talk about cutting from government is like $30 out of $35,000 and we're still only making $24,000. And that's $30 out of $35000 x baseline growth, not just $35,000.
It's mind boggling nuts. If you only make $2.4T a year, you should base your budget on $2.2T a year.

We need more late night posters. After about 2:00 AM EST it gets pretty lame around here.
This is old but I never heard it until my CA turned me on to it. Google Continental Airlines Crew Scheduling India. I'd post the link but couldn't get it to paste. (Talk about lame.)

It's funny, because it's true.

Does this include all training or just CQ? Been trying to find out some semblance of what days I'll be in the ATL. Scheduled to convert on 31 Jan, and I can't see why they would convert me into the bench with plenty of time left in the conversion window.

Vacation bid question....Going to Philmount with my son this summer and would like to get two weeks in a row to cover the time...how do you fill it out for that....put week # and the 2 for the number of weeks requested? Then, do you follow it up with a CYA of just the one week # later...? Or, is it best to try and get the next week on a follow on secondary week bid? I'm sure that there is a gouge on the DALPA site but I am too lazy to go and look.

Yes, put in the week # and then 2 for the number of weeks. Try the two week thing first, then one week, over the days you'll need. By the second round, all the summer weeks will be gone, BUT...there is a new feature called Vacation Slide, so if you don't get the exact days you need, you can push your week ahead or back several days, when the bidding for that month begins. If the days you need are near the beginning of one month, or end of another, you might be able to get a week in each month, pushed up against each other.
Like all bidding, the more senior you are in category, the better chance you have of getting what you want.
Good luck!
