None from THIS 320. That was great!!!
Thank you both!
 
I remember when something happened (don't remember what) and CM had to change his handle. It was so close to mine, I knew there was going to been an issue now and then...
 
😀

Hand it to Carl and AAA for lighting the fuse and waking up this thread. It's been a nice break from the usual.

It's been very quiet here.  One day last week there was a lull of more than 24 hours.
 
And now the Fleet Service Discussion is catching up in numbers of posts.

I think everyone is realizing that nothing else can or will happen until there is movement from the courts. Once a ruling in any direction is released, I'm sure this place will come to life rather quickly. 
 
And of course "IF" the is going to be a new permanent bid on the East for October, which is very likely, it will be announced next Friday, the 11th... 
 
So I don't expect much until one of the above happens... 🙂

Hands down, Carl has the post of the week and this 320 took it well View attachment 10294

We've got some keeping up to do with Fleet Service that's for sure.

It's to bad the west pilots believed Ferguson and Koontz, all the wasted money on those stupid ties, wake up west pilots dump these two and AOL.

The July and August numbers are reflected in the Aug bid. Sept and Oct numbers (37 total) would make for a nice Oct. bid with a lot of movement into the left seat in all equipment. I would guess there would also be a December bid taking care of the Nov and Dec numbers (38 total). That's about 75 more new Captains just in time for Christmas... 🙂 All assuming no growth of course. And with the 737's gone, there won't be any offsets to the bids from guys coming off the 737 and filling vacancies in other equipment...

Yeahhh...something about that credibility issue you have. Kasher will pay...right?

I really don't think senior west pilots are all that concerned about your widebodies. A few might take it immediately if available, but most simply want to see how thing "shake-out" with this next round of SLI. If you've done it all of your career, commuting is something you've just gotten used to. Most of us feel that IF we were to ever consider flying out of PHL/CLT, it would also involve a move rather than commuting. The money is nice...quality of life is nicer, and I just don't see commuting as even remotely possible if one want quality of life. If we are ever allowed to drop to forty hours a month, it might be worth considering. But at this time, simply too many variables heading our way.

Besides, with all of you easties grabbing those A330 left seats, that will just be that many more below us when we do decide to make the move!
 
LOL!   😱

Yeah, you get used to prison once you've been in it long enough.
 
Westicle logic and rationalization.  LOL!!

Yeah, exactly. He doesn't even realize moving out of PHX is itself an improvement to one's quality of life, even if you have to commute back into PHX.

Don't kid yourself. Prechillil is not just content to sniff those 330 seats. She is all about occupying one. Every west pilot would flock east. It just will not happen for years now.
Ferguson and Leonidas have royally screwed the west pilots. The only beneficiary was Marty Harper. He made a living off the delusions of Ferguson, Doyal, Koontz, Simmons and Horner.
