Re: 5 pilots on 737 laid off

Isn't it LOE on first recurrent sequence on type? So would be MT/LOE? Or do they do MTV/LOE? Crystalpizza is correct. At least on my aircraft it’s MTV day 1, followed by LOFT day 2. The jeopardy event is the MTV (V = validation). I don’t remember the first take off being a V1 cut, but it does lead ...

Re: Why are AC pilots voting for relief pilot pay 30 to 40% less than FO?

Does any other NA airline have relief pilots/second officers? Pretty sure the only purpose of the RP program is to drive down costs. Yeah. WCC etc. No, AC is the only one with this bullshit position. Every US airline trains their FOs as FOs and uses them as augments. And you are correct of course, ...

Re: ALPA Petition

It's simply the Delta MEC advising their members that ACPA and ALPA have come to an AIP.

I don't think there's any subliminal message(s) implied. Just communication.

Additionally, ACPA did put out a mailer yesterday with dates/times on information sessions to discuss the AIP.

Re: Keewatin overrun in Sanikiluaq, Nunavut

I find this ironic.

They won't hire individuals who have failed a PPC or been in an accident.

Failing a PPC is a humbling experience. More importantly, it's also a great (but unfortunate) way to learn.
