Hey guys, pay/reroute question. Flew into ATL last night at midnight and scheduled to layover. On the way off the a/c, scheduling calls and asks us if we can fly to TPA. 320 mechanical followed by no copilot for an 88. We were the third and final chance for 140 pax. Was that a proffer, ie, GS? Reroute pay? Nothing has popped up on our rotation yet and now we're double deadheading to SLC to pick up the rest of our rotation. Any help?

PM sent.

Thanks for the insight...not a gringo and neither is my wife we both speak Spanish (both from S. America)

We will go on vacation and see if the beauty of the mountains and the beach and the lifestyle make us think about it in a couple of years maybe do it.

You are a Gringo if you have money and come from the US. Theft is out of control in Costa Rica.

I was born in Trinidad and lived in BA and CCS as a kid, my Grandmother was from SJU. I speak spanish pretty close to fluently and you are correct to a point. The first thing you do is find out who the Jefe de Policia is and do your best to befriend him.. Most ladrones and bandito pendejos won't mess with you.

A document straight from crew resources. I tried to post it but could not make it format. Posters said I was lying anyway yet as always could offer none of their own data. I will try again to post. Yea, success!

I actually in the original post added in retirements. What is even more remarkable about the numbers is that the growth really did not begin until last October as it was always scheduled. Consider what that means for the next 18 months.

Hey guys, has anyone moved across the country lately? We are moving from ATL to the west coast this summer and I want to know my options. Full service? Rent truck? Ship cars? Etc... PM me with costs and how you did it if anyone has recent experience with this.

Thanks

747 Seat reconfiguration

This September, the 747 upper deck seats will be removed and replaced with 60 Comfort Econ seats. Mods to be quick and all air frames done inside four months, or so they say. Crews coming out of the bunk, trying to use the biffy before going up front are going to cause a small riot! Total seating to be in the 430 range!

Forget non-reving in FC anymore...
