OT: Is anybody else suddenly getting these little pop-up video ads? They're really obnoxious, and each time you load a page on an iPad it turns off your iTunes music to play it.

There is a bid out right now for 32 upgrades, which means all the junior F.O.'s will move up 32 spots. Senior F.O.'s will have to make a decision, double their paycheck, or enjoy having a good schedule...
Hmm... Tough decisions all around..

Upgrading is a tough decision? .... Really?

For those who don't need the money - it can be.

In my case, I was hand picking all the days trips I wanted. Never worked Fri-Sun.

Hadn't been to a hotel in months- hadn't shown before 11am in a long time and was home by 10pm each night. That's a lot to give up to go back to commuting on RSV.

I read a couple pages back that E-Jet training is three months. Is that true? A continuous three months? Anyone out there with some experience with the process?

I have a friend in the ejet class who took his oral in March and doesn't start sims until the end of April. They're backed up due to sim availability.

What's the deal with reserve at Mesa? I have friends that talk about completing a reserve assignment and sitting ready reserve afterwards until they hit the end of their FDP limit? At the airline I work, if you complete an assignment and the company has nothing to add to your schedule within 15 minutes of block in, you are released from reserve duty.

Brutal. I immediately regret my standing bit.

I wonder what sort of issues will happen in the sims and IOE with people having a month+ off.
