Scab kicked an FO off the trip because he was not "friendly" yet professional? Classic.

Even though the UAL guys can bid the 787 after the arrival of the 25th, the way the fence is written they might not start flying them until the 29th or 30th is on the property.

Well the LUAL guppies were delivered starting in August 2013 and we didn't get to fly the first one until Jan 2014 so that's par for the course.

It is what it is. Its the deal we made.

I'm not complaining, just saying. I think it's actually funny how badly we shot ourself in the crank with this fence. Good for the CAL FO's.

Ahh, yes. That stop created cascading customer service issues that lasted until the next day.
UCH: Please put the right aircraft on the the right mission.

"Had a trip on the "ER" the other day, EWR to SFO with a fuel stop in DEN. Small "e" big "R" I guess."

Of course if you or the dispatcher had attended the "OET" class this wouldn't have happened.

You really think that happened? Seriously?

Do you always take things so seriously?

Do I need to put a smiley face up?

The truth is none of us know the real record of the ER and how often it makes fuel stops when compared to other fleets.

Have some fun and don't forget the crew may have gotten some extra pay for the stop.

I can dig into CCS for a screen snapshot if you really doubt it. WX was low in SFO and 100+ headwinds from Iowa west. Even on a normal day you're lucky to do EWR-SFO and arrive with more than about 7.5k in my experience. Add another hour for winds, plus divert, etc.... We were never going to come close. Not bashing the Guppy, it is what it is. I'm sure the other 99% of the time it makes more money than an older 757.
