Funny parts were the comments section, "why dont flight attendants get more money?" Before I tick off the Cat Ranchers, and the "professionals ( answered an ad in a newspaper)" with the flight attendant certificates issued by the FAA at the request of the AFA.............Oh well. I'll just keep my comments to myself!

After a long week in and out of MSP and DTW the story gets old and maybe I am jaded! Back to LAX and some very good flight attendants!

RIP buddy. We miss you.

Please PM the name of the Mesa pilot. Sick to my stomach.

Good article about Delta and China with respect to slot times, ability to fly to secondary cities, etc...

I had cargo pallets break free on a fully loaded C-141 once on takeoff. It was a handful. Closest I've ever come to crashing. The CG change alone is unfathomable. Fortunately, I was still on the runway and delayed my rotation. I can't imagine it happening on departure.

Guys, I have a question about pay during training. I am starting school in June and I have 1 week of vacation. Is it better to bid reserve and collect ALV-2 plus vacation or a bid a line?

If you have vacation then training later in the month, i'd go for the line. You can shoot your pay through the roof with taking the line and then slipping.

I hit 107 hours this month holding a line plus vacation... I was tired, so I didn't take the GS on sunday.. but that 107 could have been 128.
