I was thinking, and yes it is possible despite the girl next to the yellow tractor, but often times we try to equate ourselves as airline pilots to the corporate world.
We know we're smart, self starters and cool under fire and those traits would win us great praise at any company. The problem is getting people to understand that we're not truck drivers, we're not punch the clock types, we're as valuable as anyone else who wears a white collar to work.
Then I realize in the corporate world you can go to the bathroom anytime you want. We can't. We actually have to ask permission to go to the potty.

Used the "Known Crewmember" lane today at ORD. Worked well. It is not at the main screaming checkpoint though... Facing the main checkpoint go right it is at the end checkpoint. Coming from the hotel have the van drop you at door 2A just before Air Canada and you will be right there.

If I say, like most months, I bid down to reserve for weekends off most guys are like cool, good for you.
If I say, like these past few months, I'm going deeper and deeper down into reserve most guys keep an eye on me. But yet, I fly more now then i did before - I'm less worthless now then I was in the winter and spring. It's just funny, not complaining.

Airbus pay rates (10yr CA / 5yr FO):
Delta: 166 / 102
Frontier: 146 / 82
And you guys think you are going to get a raise?? Frontier is adding 2 new cities next month and continues to grow while Delta is shrinking.
Frontier is the new bottom feeder and is siphoning off DALs customers every day. Even if you do see a raise, this group under its current management will continue to undercut and grow while DAL continues to shrink.

Btw, I did recommended a page or ago we take a 12% cut in flight hour pay. that way we can continue to help Delta not just be a bigger airplane but a better airline. SWA and UCAL will demolish Frontier but I hope we get a chance to demolish BBs RAH scheme and free Frontier from RAH.
