Ok. I've searched the PWA high and low and cannot find the answer. I figured I'd ask the all-knowing thread.

I've been on long-term leave and am de-qualed on my aircraft. When I return I will need 3 bounces to get current again. Interestingly I have a trip THE day I return to active status, which I will obviously not be qualified to fly.

My question: How do they handle this? Obviously they will have to drop the trip, but am I pay-protected until they can get me into the sim for bounces? How available do I have to be (ie weekends) to head into the sim?

iCrew has a popup telling me to call the CPO at least 21 days prior to de-qualing, which I did. They said they can't touch me (meaning I can't go to the sim, even if I want to) until I return to active payroll status. Anyone had this scenario?

Anybody out there an AQFO? Is it a good deal? Can you still control skeds well? Pay? Training? Do you specialize in certain theatres?

Thanks

The $789MM is expected net profit. The focus is typically on Net Income Margin which is the ratio of net profit to total revenues. Industry average was 7.2% where DAL came in at 8.4%.
This article compares the largest 9 airlines. I was at first a bit surprised at AAI. It doesn't look like they'll provide too much help to WN in the NIM category. Although, it may mean that they really can't dump too many cheap fares in ATL or elsewhere or else suffer NIM erosion. Herb and Gary Kelly has always prided themselves on maintaining high margins. Also, hopefully this will give the AMR guys a bit of leverage in contract talks.

Sorry man. I don't know what I was thinking. It was late, I was tired and forgot it was Friday night. I'm putting myself on probation for this.

I say all of that because I'm going to post this pic to correct Carl's sin but I don't want to hear any trash talking if Auburn fails to win. We're Auburn, we have girls that look like this below, we never lose.


Holy cow man! Do they all look this at Auburn? Wow!

How long was your sit from INDOC to aircraft training?

Would this apply in the case of one ALPA-represented airline (say, Delta) beating another ALPA-represented airline (say, United) on the merits and, thus, gaining that group's flying?

Or by "in the course of that representation," do you only mean contract negotiations?

T- Read what I was responding too. It was NOT in response to the MEC level.
