    Airline Letters (A post from OneSky Crew Lounge)

    I support them. I live in Vegas and would gladly walk the picket line with them if called for. But their contract is crap compared to others flying the same equipment. They got their new contract before my pilot group got ours. Further I did read it and saw the comparisons with other airlines...

    Airline Letters (A post from OneSky Crew Lounge)

    If you think Allegiant has an industry leading contract then you're very confused on what is industry leading. Allegiant is a bottom feeder.

    F-35 Grounded/Cancelled

    I know a both a Navy guy and a Marine flying F-35s. They came from F-18s. Both say the F-35 is awesome and a big increase in lethality.

    Are training contracts enforceable?

    Any answer you get to that question here is only as good as the money you paid for the advise - nothing. Every contract is written differently and every state's laws are different. You need to ask that question of a lawyer. And even if they are not enforceable, your company can...

    AA rudest flight crews ever

    I don't work for AA but... As a Captain, according to our FOM my responsibility for the pax ends when the doors open at the gate. The FAs are trained to take care of the pax if something happens and there is nothing that I can do that they can't. The CSAs are responsible for the pax when...

    ALPA vs ALPA merger

    No it's not. It's right in the ALPA policy manual.

    ALPA vs ALPA merger

    Relative seniority taking into account career expectations. Since both airlines are narrowbody Airbus, the career expectations should be equal.

    jobs that will pay for reinstatement of licenses?

    If it was a false positive and the FAA records reflect that, then why were his licenses revoked? Seems there is more to the story.

    Civilian to Military

    Make sure he talks to an officer programs recuiter not a regular recruiter. There are specific recruiters for officer programs. A regular recruiter will try and get him to enlist saying that is the only way. This is pure BS. This is a regular recruiter trying to fill a quota. Every...

    Most Loved Airline in the U.S.

    ^ Disagree. I often see cheaper tickets on other airlines and receive far more food/drink options. I also like an assigned seat. But SWA does far exceed everyone when it comes to things like changing your flight and bag fees. Value - Each airline has their own strength and weaknesses...

    HAL neos in 2018?

    This has come up in a few union meetings. The position is that this is up to management and not the union. Management will say they want to raise it to ensure they attract quality pilots and then want to lessen other contract gains/areas to pay for it. The union's response will be attracting...

    American... Get that rig!

    By the nature of our flying, and most international flying, you can't fly "denser" trips. There are no connecting trips nor time under FAR 117 to make working longer during a trip a possibility. So the only way to be more productive is to work additional trips which means giving up days off...

    American... Get that rig!

    SWA Bubba - your view is a pure SWA point of view. Or a regionals.... When you fly internationally or ;long haul with destinations that are not daily, you can't fly very productive schedules. We need rigs. Same goes for interisland. At 30 mins a leg and a finite allowed number of t/o &...

    HAL neos in 2018?

    Numerically, when all is done we will have more 330s then 767s. The plan has always been to park the 767s so I don't think they count in this instance. Also, the 330s came faster than the 767s were retired so that staffing is already complete. The fleet plans show all the NEOs as growth. I...

    HAL neos in 2018?

    There were always supposed to start coming in the second half of 2017 so I don't see this as much of a change. It'll take a few months once the first one arrives to get everything up to speed. If past history is any indication, we'll start hiring in mid 2016 for these planes. What is being...

    American... Get that rig!

    That is the reason we just changed the union leadership. That is NOT the opinion of the new MEC or the vast majority of the pilots. Plus we didn't accept that attitude for the current contract so why would we now?
