I flew a trip with a two digit FA last month that was hired the same month I was born...almost 50 years ago.

As for me I was given a SC and did not acknowledge until 9 hrs prior. I had a discussion with a supervisor as the first scheduler who wanted me either to take the original start to the sc as I called in voluntarily even though it was less than 10 hrs, or take a PD. The supervisor slipped the sc so I would be in compliance, but it took a bit of talking and coming up with alternatives.
I tried to uphold the contract by not acknowledging a short call conversion until past the 10 hr window (PWA requires acknowledgement 1 hr prior). Called crew skeds and fully expected a PD, but they just rolled back the short call back to a later start time.

I showed one of those new hire F/A's a picture of our number 1 F/A, Bob, who is 89 now...they were shocked, they couldn't believe he is still flying! Neither can I.

I don't know what dirt he has on who, but some how he keeps getting through their recurrent program.

I'm sure they were all just as hot when they were new hires, but that was in 1965!

Thanks. It sure doesn't seem to be having a negative effect on Alaska's stock, so I see a merger as less likely. You agree? Seems likely that AMR and Alaska will cozy up some more instead.

No HND/Japan partner, and no feed on our terms... Seems like we're going to need to commit our own metal heavily in SEA and elsewhere to have a stronger Asia operation as NRT gets marginalized. I actually don't quite see where we'll get enough real estate in SEA or LAX to make it happen, but the more we do ourselves, the better.

I would think there has to be more west coast based narrowbody flying in light of this development. I know Crew Resources said nothing in the cards but... c'mon...
