This has got to be one of the most arrogant things I have ever heard you say. Every airline that I have worked at or flown on has, except for an occasional grumpy crew, done this...

You can usually dump Monday through Thursday RES days other than in the summer. Weekends are usually capped right after the first PCS run, but you can sometimes sneak a few in. The problem with PD'ing RES days is you have to comply with the off day grouping requirements so you can't always dump days even if they are positive.

I would be a higher relative % on the 800 and have thought about going over there, but as soon as I do then the 320 will start moving. Right now, it would be better to be on the 737, no 5-days and looking at open time they have had better reserve coverage than the 320.

Well there are airlines out there now that not only say goodbye at the end, they say hello to everyone that boards, do welcome aboard PA's in the cabin, and walk the isles to talk to every passenger during any delay or IROP. Some delta guys do this, but probably less than 1%. Most say goodbye on every leg now unless it's lunch time or the last leg.

How many of you wear your hat when saying bye to the PAX?

Contractually, this is only the case in an int'l category. Have you experienced otherwise?

I have though sitting in the back during breast cancer awareness month. Or I saw a pretty over the top example of what not to do.



I like being juvenile though.

HA! That would be funny. Do that on one of those crew relocation flights after a snow storm.

I flew with a guy who made you laugh without trying. He just did funny things and he had the accent and so forth to make it funnier.

My favorite was we got notified mid pushback in MCO about a delay going to LGA. Now prior to push he had been dealing with his son who had lost their dog and a neighbor had found the dog but now the 22 year old son was awol. He was frustrated but we continued normal ops. So as we're pushing he begins to make a PA about the delay. A long PA.

Then the phone rings with one of those old rotary phone ring tones at max volume. He wasn't going to answer. But evidently, he wasn't going to mute it either.

It rang. He kept talking. And rang. Talking continued. And rang. Still talking. Rang some more. Still explaining the nuances of EDCT times. Then voicemail.

On the outside I was looking at the floor is disbelief, on the inside I was...

He was a great guy to fly with, I'd fly with him any day. I'd even be his wingman if it didn't mean losing my certificates and job.

I wear my hat from the time I get out of the truck til I get back in the truck. End of story. Always on.

Yes I do.

It hides my mullet better, I can hide the bushy bangs and the tail in my hat.

I am confused why they would allow guys to go to the 7ER if they're planning on displacing it, unless, they are 80% sure they'll displace but in case the 20% happens (see DC9 for details) they don't want to get caught flat footed.

That's the only way I could explain that.

Best PA ever in LAX,

I'm nothing close to a Debbie Downer; just passing on what I was told. If you don't want to believe the words that came out of the mouth of SD and our network guy, fine. I'm just telling you what I was told. You can ask anyone who was in ATL on Profit Sharing day if you don't want to believe me. I'm fine with bouncing back and forth from ER to 73N for now, but that may not be ok with everybody.

We can chat again late fall and see how it turns out. Cheers.
