It seems to be random, but I've never seen it before 8am and they are USUALLY out by 10-11am (ATL time)

Just got my autonotification as I type this at 11:27am for SC tomorrow. It was on my line this morning around 8:45am but I was taking the FTB approach of pretending it hadn't happened and hoping it would go away

When I was a junior reserve guy I would occasionally get a very good trip but as a junior lineholder never got anything but crap, 100% pure leftover crap.

I am all in favor for improving the system but want to keep seniority in the equation. I think the system can definitley be tweaked, but overall think it is pretty good.

I think we are all frustrated with the stagnation

- I am coming up on 14 years and am still a NB FO. I am hoping once the movement starts we will all feel a lot better about our situation.

I resemble that remark. I had a couple of months as a very junior line holder during the fall and it absolutely sucked. I made a little more money, but it wasn't worth the extra effort...not even close. So now I'm sitting reserve and doing every thing I can to avoid going to work.

Very tired of the stagnation.

Normally between 1000 and 1130 ATL time.

But, for me, it seems when I'm in base, finishing up one short call, waiting around to see if they are going to give me another one the next day, they post them closer to 1300.

Looking at my paycheck for the end of the month:

Taxable amount on life insurance: Increase of 14%
Dental insurance premium: Increase of 9%

Hey, I only fell back one-half a percentage point in regard to the dental increase with the pay raise of 8.5%!

Not looking forward to how much I'll be falling behind the cost of living a year from now.

The link to auto racing provides plausible deniability.

I would agree it is written that way in principal but that is not how it will end up working out. I talked to my rep BC who talked to HK about this and I talked to him as well.

My scenario and situation was this. What if I fly a lot in the spring and summer? That triggers an lower utilization later on right? But how? If you have a finite number of people and bases you cannot spread the flying out. My point was with the look back being the past 12 months there is no way to catch up. You are playing this game again where the last year is always overstaffed and there is no way to fix it but hire and they wont/ It is the same situation with our JV they will be out of compliance guess when? Past the date we knew all along would occur/ Now they have to change it but how? These formulas as somewhat worthless without monetary penaties with them and we need to change this because we keep getting shafted by the company and they shrug their shoulders and say oops.

Should be up for the Oscars in 2014. For sure.

W?

TF?

Was that?

Is that someone playing around with iMovie's new trailer features or did that honestly just get green lighted?

Lindsay Lohan staring in a movie with a porn star. What could go wrong?

Well, evidently a lot...

More evidence Lindsay Lohan film a train wreck

actually, the comment section of that article is kind of fun to read.

Let's see ... a very stupid movie based on a very stupid premise about very stupid "reality TV" starring a very stupid young girl and a very stupid porn star ends up being very stupid.
