GF{crew}>>> huh?
tbaylx?>> i could not agree with you more about the stripe issue, but do think they can serve a purpose other than ego here... more operational that could save the company money and ego too. (Has any non training guys fly with an FO that was not cut loose yet?' Nothing on him indicated that he was not ready to go was there? How did you get back to base as a non legal paired crew?)
Tbaylx, I understand where you are coming from. but I do have to say that if it were not for the money I don't that many of us that would be here for more than a quick few years. Trading a lush beautiful country for the sandpit? Are you kidding? You would be here just to fly a nice airplane on a decent route? I’d fly a kite back home if someone were to reward me enough to put a big roof over the heads of the ones that I love.
