They are not jv's only intra country code share agreements and route specific. They are not metal neutral like the AF JV.

Recently I was asked if a four striper sporting spiky hair, wrinkly shirt, Doc Maartens, wide utility belt, no hat, no wings and no name tag was a "pilot." I responded, "I'm not sure." The one fact I am sure of, his airline is growing faster than mine and the airplane he commands has "my brand" on its fuselage.
Just curious, are frosted tips out of style? Haven't seen those on a Mesaba or SkyWest crew in a year.

As long as you answer while wearing your hat, our brand image will be preserved.

You mean like ATL to TLV this winter on the 777? Nope, passengers now have to go on us to CDG or AMS and then connect on AF/KL. That plane is always full to TLV. But, the problem is our 777s are doing more NRT and 744 replacement flying thanks to the 744s getting mods (lie flat seats etc). It still is ridiculous.
TLV.

Is there any software out there that will look at your sched and the open time, and let you shuffle it around looking for possibilities? Pasting those numbers into the Icrew swap checker thing is just soooo painful...
I've got PBS and also the flightline ebid software, but haven't seen anywhere to look at open time combos?
Also, does 30 in 7 apply just to block time, or credit time for the trip?
Thanks!

Just 10 years ago....a blast from the past pre 9/11:
A Leapfrog Pattern in Pay Pacts for Airline Pilots - NYTimes.com
Last summer, United Airlines set a new standard for pilot pay when it agreed to raise wages 22.5 percent to 28 percent. The airline has since said it was forced to offer such generous increases after Delta Air Lines increased pay rates on the Boeing 777 the previous year 18 percent above the industry peak.
The formula for the settlement, which is still subject to approval by the union leadership and Delta's nearly 10,000 pilots, was based on the industry-leading rates at United plus 1 percent. Delta said that the increases would add more than $2 billion to its current pilot costs over the life of the four-year contract. The average Delta pilot earned $188,038 in salary and benefits last year, according to the airline.
