That's correct Carl. He passed last week while on his layover in LHR.

It will be an advanced displacement into the MD fleet.

I was commuting from CQ today and overheard in the jetway from a union rep just coming from the MEC meeting that it is 107 open spots vs. 100 displacements. "So slightly net positive".

On another note, scored some Ayinger Ur-Hefe-weizen tonight (dunkel hefe-weizen or dark wheat beer), outstanding along with some jaeger-schnitzel. The wife enjoyed the beer, but could not be talked into Jaegermeister shots.

I find brown liquor an effective substitute for Yeager.

That is too general a statement. I knew a captain once who would drop EVERY trip on his line (he was very senior as an M88A, which at the time was very undermanned). He would literally start the month with zero hours. Then he would get two GS (at the time in the late 90s the rule was the a senior guy would get two GS before a junior guy even got one). He would then spend the rest of the month WS easy turns and two-day trips. The bottom line is that GS only pay double AFTER the rest of the month exceeds the GS trigger. This guy alone is a perfect reason why lots of WS may make sense for a lot of guys.

Usually the guys getting 4-5 GS a month (assuming the category is undermanned to the extent that that is possible) are guys bidding reserve and doing the rolling thunder thing--they are my heroes.
