Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Fly By Night: MEC Chair Update – October 2026
Q: Can you update the pilots on what's happening in the Middle East operations?
We're monitoring two FedEx flights to Riyadh; one on the ground and one in flight that diverted to Moscow. Our security and safety leadership, along with MEC officers, ensured both crews exited safely, and subsequent discussions across security, safety, scheduling, fatigue, and the negotiating committee defined next steps. The company later resumed limited Dubai flying without MEC consultation, and ALPA proposed expanding LOA coverage to require input on safety risk assessments going forward.
Fly By Night: Scheduling Committee November 2026 Build Week
Q: What is the current status of the MD-11 return and new aircraft on order for November?
Most MD-11s are targeted for full availability by peak with a few remaining repairs; additional aircraft are being added or adjusted in Memphis, Anchorage, and Salt Lake City, with no immediate plan for international deployments.
Fly By Night: Scheduling Committee November 2026 Build Week
Q: Can you remind the pilots about the prelim process, how that works, and specifically how it relates to this November build?
The prelim process starts with receiving prelims from planning, followed by a review and adjustment cycle where planners incorporate scheduling data, and a conference call helps fix issues before the finals are issued; for November, there was a larger-than-expected set of prelims and a need to reconcile changes quickly.
Fly By Night: Block 1 Update September 2026
Q: What are your immediate goals as Block 1 rep?
To call and talk with each block rep to understand needs, listen before speaking, and ensure the group can collaboratively progress, while maintaining engagement with pilots through podcasts and other channels.
Fly By Night: Block 1 Update September 2026
Q: Do you plan to continue with your scheduling job also while you're a Block Rep?
He is unsure at the moment due to workload but indicates flexibility to step back if necessary, prioritizing listening to reps and pilots first and stepping into tasks as capacity allows.
