Good luck to us all.

As for my earlier post... Non tracable? I say why? We are pilots and as such we take care of each other's backs. From now on, every Monday there will be "Safety seminars" hopefully given by our union three times a day. Those safety seminars will teach every pilot how to go about their jobs with the maximum emphesis on safety and minimum emphesis on corporate target goals. Every pilot will be required to attend.

Easy?

As for batphone, airinc etc etc.... no where in my book does it say "use your cellphone to call dispatch". If our company pages say only ACARS is available at a certain airport, we should do just that. Use ACARS. No reply ? tough luck. 30 minutes pass, 60 minutes pass, 90 minutes pass.... at some point hopefully someone will realize that an airplane didn't take off. If not, how unfortunate.

Well, I have a "source" too, and it told me that we are going to get bought by Aer Lingus and we are going to do regional flying for them out of Dublin. Our name is going to be Cuni-Lingus.

Now, after this last meeting in DC, they'd probably be dying to tell us not to move a finger. Anyways, I think it's time we start doing our own thing and slow things down. Let's make sure we keep ALPA clean out of this. We still need a serious UNION that "plays" by the rules, but us........let's go for it !

-FLEX........Flex who?
-Single engine Taxi........what is that? never heard about that before
-APU minimal use........I didn't know we could shut that thing down...
-MCT..... yeah MAX CONTINUOUS THRUST.... cruise
-Contingency fuel.............. ohhhh we need plenty of that so start calling dispatch often........don't use cellphones, use the batphone....much slower and you can put the delay report on fuel....
-FOs: anything you find make sure MX comes and takes a look at it. I only accept new tires, make sure they are shiny if not they'll need replacement. Sure they'll refuse to change them, but hey, it was worth the delay for "safety reasons".
-Commissary, LAV service, call last second and don't leave without it. Put the dealy on that.
-Close the door, block out, and don't ever leave without numbers.
-No more 15 min turns, if you are scheduled for a 30 min turn, that's how long it's going to take..........
-Let's have massive request to drop trips, sure, they'll be denied, but our contract says that any request needs to be reviewed one by one and answerd, so at least let's keep them busy........
-VERY IMPORTANT: stop checking in for your trip. Turn your cellphones off and let crew scheduling figure out if you made it or not. Sure bunch of MEMOS are to follow, but we can always blame that on those old crapy computers, can't we? sure we can call them, but make sure you hang up before they answer (the call would be registered in the system)

Again, let's make sure we keep ALPA out of this. This is our own thing, and let's play nasty.

I'm sure there's plenty of ideas, so let's spread the word......

any ideas?
