I strolled off the plane back to my car. He continued on his 5 day. He's the one that brought up how he lost "years of seniority." When you say that to someone that is now two lower category airplanes removed from their previous status and still on reserve, you get what you deserve.

I wasnt disrespectful... I just made sure he knew what actually has happened thus far.

I'd like to keep my manhood card. Can I make a case that the 7er is a manly airplane, too?

Let's not rehash this. I doubt you're going to convince many north pilots that the south guys took the brunt of the SLI (nor apparently vice versa.) Let the sleeping dogs lie.

Most guys are feeling some sort of pain via a backwards movement or being bumped/closed out of their base (almost all fNWA pilots in MEM). Best not to stir the nest this morning.

I wasn't saying that the south guys felt the brunt of the SLI at all. He was trying to say that they took the entire hit of it. How incredibly ignorant. All but the very senior are feeling this...

With someone just starting to spout off about it like that so fresh in my mind, it's hard not to bring it up.

Booted out of LAX again (just where I was in 2009)

Condolences to all my fellow displaced pilots!

Cheers

You are getting bumped b/c you bid out of seniority! Even though you are an early '07 hire your seniority puts you about 60% 88B ATL. You are trying to stay on bigger/newer/higher paying equipment. Don't like, it bid what in reality you should be on!

I use Telex 750's so I would think the 850's are fine. Welcome to the "Mad Dog"!

Wow, talk about cranky this morning.

Like 80, I'm tired of the negativity and the constant "I got screwed" mentality. Bid what you want, want what you bid, unless of course Sinca thinks it's above your station.
