Gather your crew or family around or maybe even put the mic up to your phone and put it over the PA and enjoy, FTB, O Holy Night

You are welcome.

Merry Christmas
You ought to audition for American idol.

I don't think the robocall looks at your schedule. It is probably calling everyone. My phone will not quit ringing. I am glad to see this meltdown. It serves them right for holding off on hiring.

Finis, Sailing, Slow, or Pineapple,

Anyone had sighting of Alfa R. lately. Personal loss & the holiday's can be a difficult time.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, & God bless everyone on APC, also their families.

When enough flights get canceled that the media picks up on the story what will be the company's response? What will DALPA's response be?
Funny part about this is that we, as the pilots, are part of the problem. We have a lot of guys that are flying *****s. They don't know what to do with themselves if they aren't on the road 20-23 days a month. Some because of their home life, some because they've gotten themselves into financial coffin corner and have to fly that much.

Back in 2000 we were in negotiations with the company for C2K. There was a no overtime flying campaign which ended with the 49ers (49 guys sued by the company for posting stuff in the lounges, etc about no overtime flying). The company actually found a judge that looked at our historical overtime flying percentages over the holidays and said that we HAD to fly overtime. All this because historically we were cheap dates.

Me personally, I want a higher pay rate and fly the same or less, however even with higher rates there are a good many guys that would still fly the same hours.

No, but there is some sketchy stuff going on right now. Just remember that you are never required to be contactable on your off days. Never. They may also target any additional numbers they can find, including your emergency contact number in icrew.

This is an incorrect statement. That contact number is labeled for CPO use only. Now back in 05-06 we did have a certain assistant CPO using that number to call and harass pilots for not answering their phones but scheduling should never use that number and if they do you just inform them that they have a problem now.
