Exactly right, the number of pilots who don’t know about and understand how to use the fatigue side letter is eye watering. It’s in Content.

There’s no excuse for showing up tired. If you do, it’s not the system, it’s you.

Tumi supply chain is low and remains back ordered, when they catch up we’ll have the TA. Looking at the update today I see it looks like they have not made SC and FSB completely pilot choice. I see that Voluntary Long call RSV lines where SC and FSB are only through aggressive pick up. So how many? Is the # controlled by UA? This is troubling. Add that they are not shooting to match AA’s 1 leg ANF with 1 leg out max block 4:15 and hotel on the field shows that NB RSV is not being improved enough to get ‘in the know’ FO bidders to upgrade. Looks to me like this is a failing TA on the RSV side of things.

Going to need to see if the first day of reserve 10am SC start has been moved to a MUCH more commuter friendly time.

The AIP/TA when it comes out will be passed by a large margin - just my opinion.

The MEC will not present a marginal product (Industry leading terminology is subjective)

I agree
the MEC is micromanaging the NC and rightly so

I am optimistic because we have the best MEC and not traitors like the last MEC

yeah, so glad that 10 is a “win” now after Tumi moved it to 6am. We’re back to where we started.

Concur. The sooner the better.

83% yes
17% no

100% chance more than 17% of the pilots will claim “I voted no.”

Not really. 10 AM isn’t in the current book. Now it will be. It’s a small point that probably cost nothing in negotiations.
