Small Things Make Me Feel Good Sometimes
and that'll do just fine. Doesn't take much.
That video link that squawk posted elsewhere got me in a wistful mood.
While the weather has been cool in the OV these last few days, I've been getting yard work done. In my back pocket I kept the option of dropping my single day 9 hr pairing tomorrow into Open Time on FLiCA.
Around 2:00 pm I made the call to ditch the pairing. It was gone inside of an hour. Now I got the whole weekend free save for the YLW-LAS-YLW 10pm departure on Sunday night (which I picked up 2 days ago off of FLiCA).
I get to go to my 5 yr old son's school swimming outing at 9:30 am tomorrow morning and attend the Opening Ceremonies of his first ever Baseball League on Saturday morning.
Not sure I care what I make for a salary.
FLiCA.
Thanks dude.

Re: Small Things Make Me Feel Good Sometimes
You guys at WestJet are like a bunch of spoilt brats. You don't realize how good you have it. I have read your agreement and I would gladly sign on the dotted line. Sometimes you should step outside of your company and look around at all the carnage this recession has inflicted on everyone.
Good on you guys for making WestJet a profitable company, you deserve your profit sharing cheques, and I don't doubt that you made a wack of coin this last Q, but maybe you should take one of your days off and go and help out at the local food bank, there you will see how fortunate you are.
WestJet has been really successful, and I don't doubt that that will continue.

"You guys at WestJet are like a bunch of spoilt brats" Nice spelling, "professional pilot".
Not actually true; they're Forenghis. And JD seems to be an anomaly within the Forenghi nation, kind of like a retard amongst the general population.

Re: Small Things Make Me Feel Good Sometimes
Don't associate me with calling JD a retard. He's actually a very smart fella'. (on many topics, excluding work agreements!)
Re: Small Things Make Me Feel Good Sometimes
I only associate you with what you are: Forenghis and bottom feeders.

Re: Small Things Make Me Feel Good Sometimes
calling someone a retard or bottom feeder is offensive.

It looks like Johnny's latest Paxil prescription seems to be doing its job.

Re: Small Things Make Me Feel Good Sometimes
You get her fixed up Rob.
Just make sure you include seniority bidding for monthly schedules and vacation slots. I mean if you're getting the benefits package you want, then I want the seniority bidding I want. I should think I'd be sitting pretty in the YLW port with seniority bidding. How would you make out in YVR?

Re: Small Things Make Me Feel Good Sometimes
I apologize John. It was an off the cuff late night remark and not the place to put it. I'll banter it over a beer with you and not a forum.
Re: Small Things Make Me Feel Good Sometimes
wow, what was all that about?

actually, no he wasn't. He seems to have a problem with pilots who had a problem with the proposed agreement.

Well, he certainly has a way with expressing himself. But not too attractive. Don't take any BS boys.

Couple of beers... couple of typed words. I woke up and felt much less passionate about the same point of view, and sent a sorrrrrrry email to JD at home

40 proof Koolaid? What planet are you from? Down East we call that a 'training drink', something we get fed from Mom's breast.
Now, 80 proof, that I can relate to.

You're not a man until you've survived a 150 proof night. Only once, mind you, any more than that and that's just liver abuse.
