I was talking about how you tried to justify your statement via that flight time calculations haven't changed since the 70s. You didn't understand what I was saying. We agree that there is no justification for a grievance on block out changes.
Heck, at one point in the past few years we had planes that blocked out via beacon, brake, or main cabin door closure. I sure liked flying the ones with the MCD trigger.
Much more logical.

Predictions on A.E:
Sleeper: NYC 320A: Goes down to 8000 on seniority.
Shocker: Atl B717A: Junior CA 6800 or so.
Inexplicable:The amount WB FOs that bid narrow body captain. (It will probably be mainly north guys doing this as we had a tendency to hire more public school kids than on the south side.)
The Unbelievable: With all the shake up and WB FOs bidding narrow body CA the 747 goes insufficient bidders from the north guys on the B side, allowing the first South FO on the airplane. (Can you say rest break controversy!)
Guaranteed: *****ing about the results.

That's some funny stuff right there.

PS. SD has not finished the A320 training. He is in the beginning and very sporadic. He might never finish it, but I guess he wants some exposure?

That's true. Most of the higher ups in the 320 program were given the 737 types. They were very grateful class acts.

Since we're starting to do some of the same customer service roles that they do (delay PAs in the plane, delay PAs at the gatehouse, engaging with customers while not flying the airplane, etc) maybe we can get some of the benefits the FAs get to keep them "chipper and ready to serve the customer" like:
A real rest facility
Holiday Pay
Better vacation
Nice lounges to wait between flights
Free "points" for to replace uniform pieces
Van between Kew Gardens/LGA/JFK
We already have to fight that some of our flying is outsourced, now we have to fight the whipsaw that is our FAs too?

Sounds like that was a mistake. That needs to be changed for CBA and FAA because you're not in until you're in and you weren't in.

I find it is total BS that this guy is holding this seat OUT of seniority. I checked the Seniority list and he is shown as INS744B...nearly every pilot around him is holding the ER or smaller. A clear abrogation of our seniority system. If I was senior to him and had a bid in for that seat as a PMN guy I would seriously consider filing a grievance.

That is true, I think there are a great deal of decent guys that would be instructors in each category.
