Ya, I was bored following that flight until, IT DROPPED OUTA' DA SKY!

you're correct, it seems to have been an error .... FlightAware response below .... I am very sorry for this confusion. It appears that the aircraft was in an estimated postion for part of the flight, which caused a brief error with the tracking information. This may have been caused by the pilot go...

enroute descent? why?

Don't commute, that will solve a lot of problems. Live where you are based.

To keep it short, arbitration rulings are usually based on precedence. Your thinking is still pre-Conservative. Harper is rewriting the laws in Canada stripping away labour rights and precedents are now irrelevant. This is a new world order so forget the words "usual", "normal" and "precedent" beca...

My proposal is this. Our union (association, whatever) tells the company that we wont train these guys or work with these guys. Tell our union members involved in the hiring and training of new pilots that we wont train these guys. You do this and this problem will quickly go away. Pilots wont want...

You should grow up and maybe find another job.

I guess you're right, nobody profited. Everybody lost. Some way more than others!

name those who profited. Look at what equipment they are on and look at their future prospects, it all worked out quit nicely for them, didn't it. They could have negotiated for the windfall gains to raise the wages of the junior Pilot, but they took a course which would reap maximum gains for them...

Actually having a system where all Ten Year Captains etc. make exactly the same pay regardless of type would make excellent sense. Money is worth sooo much more the sooner you get it. The UNION could have used the vast windfall gains that the company is getting because of FlyPast60 to make this poss...

Maybe the Union can make some behind closed doors deal with the Company, but the Pilot group typically gets royally screwed whenever they do this. Trouble is, the Union leaders are all close to Sixty. And in Ten years the "Over Sixty" membership will be a large voting block. This War is over.

Revised estimate .... Sixty Days!

Even if I was sitting at the top of the seniority list I wouldn't be happy about taking advantage of that position in order to shaft everyone under me. This is funny As for being certain about every airline in the world, I'm not. If you know of one that upgrades airline captains based on who is act...

Ac has a capital commitment to boeing of $894 for 2014. $596 in 2013.

That mindset (preference), for those who have it, never disappears.

am curious to know what impact the Aug Equipment bid will have on people in my course. The results of the August Bid will determine which slots are needed to be filled by new hires. For example there might not be any openings at EA32 F/O but if all those current A320 F/O's bid off the position, and...
