Give those sick leave nazis on the 4th floor some work.

You can try to swap.... But once you APD, it is an immovable day off and you cannot do anything on it (and your APD is gone until your hire anniversary).

And don't get me started on our incredible scope. It's like a fantasy dream. Over 50% of our domestic departures flow by DCI carriers. I bet our ALPA forefathers never dreamed we would come this far. And the alliances!! Giving half our flying to foreign carriers. The widebody promotions are coming so fast it's like winning the Super Bowl and the World Series at the same time.

A select few won the lottery at Delta and now they spend their time at the top telling us how great things are. They are a cancer. They subvert our advancement and our profession.

It is 2014 and ALPA is so pathetic their pilots cannot have internet access to view hazardous weather and their passengers can. ALPA cannot accomplish the simplest of tasks. They are to busy advising regional carriers to make concessions when there is no supply of pilots to hire.

I got mine. So the rest of you can eat dirt.

Can I pick up a rsv day later in the month to avoid the pay hit? Or do I have to give the sick leave monitoring folks some work like PD suggested? (And put Pineapple guy one step closer to a coronary)

If your category allows it you could pick up more reserve days but with 40% (your number) reserve coverage now, I doubt they will let you. I think you can check if there are any open reserve days under Open Time and then Open Reserve Days.

Call the chief pilot. He'll help you.

Kinda hard to argue with gz's post, unless that is you think we as a group should continue to give more productivity concessions to the company.

Many of us think that we've given enough already.

Hey guys,

Getting ready to fly a lot of MEX trips with layovers. Seems we're reclaiming some of those from AS as well. A few questions, what's the deal with security and liquids/gels going into Mexico. It's been awhile.

Also, any problem bringing my wife with me for some CUN layovers?

Thanks in advance!

I haven't had any issues with liquids/gels. They will take whatever duty free you try to bring in from you.

I'm giving the CUN thing a try with the wife on NYE/NYD... hope it works!

Let me know the CUN thing works out. We're planning on trying it the week after. I have two long CUNs in January. Please debrief me !

Thanks brother!
