When you"re awarded a MAC charter, you get a pop up page referring you where to review the peculiarities of military charters. One of the references covers passenger handling on empty positioning legs. Sounds like the FCR as written will highlight the fact no one on the crew looked at that.

For whatever reason, I got no such popup. Yes, I thought that was strange as I routinely do at least a couple charters a month.

My FCR highlights that no one except the charter desk and coordinators knew of said policy's existance, and the charter desk nor the coordinators could not explain why the policy existed... just that it was a policy. It additionally highlights that my rotation was legal to be changed to show a deadhead, but they would not do that, despite given a significant head's up. The FAs rotation was built with the dhd on it, though the city to which they were going to dhd was changed.

Just as long as we don't do the training via distance learning, I'd love to AR again.

I think the heavies should be doing MITO's too, at least out of ATL, and the RJ's should be doing wing takeoffs and landings. That would sure help cut down on taxi times and the Gate Latency.

I'll accept MARSA right now!

Wouldn't that be "AARSA", as in "Airline Assumes Responsibility for Separation of Aircraft"? As in, are we cleared in AARSA?

Yeah, I guess it would.

Now, when did Dick's Son say the KC46 A/E bid is going to be posted?

I heard they are going to be based in Boston and Miami!
