You really believe this or is it TIC?

We did not have 150 DC-9s pre-merger. At one time, NWA DID have 150+ DC-9s, but at the time of the merger, we were down to around 1/3rd or fewer of that number, if memory serves. Most of the -30s were gone, all of the -10 were gone, but again, just my memory of it. BTW, the 717 is built, I'm pretty sure, on the DC-9-40 airframe.

It appears that the trip was broken up, and a SEA pilot was assigned to the first part of the trip. Can Crew Skds do that, per our contract. Or would a G/S request for a published rotation by an in-base pilot have no priority over an out of base reserve pilot. Again, the first leg was a d/h to SEA, and trip appears to be covered by a SEA pilot. Anyone?

I see them do that all the time. I could be wrong, and usually am about these things, but I don't think there is anything that requires them to put out green slips as opposed to breaking up trips.
For me and my questions like this, the answer normally winds up being, "Crew skeds can do what they want."

OK, thanks guys. I kinda' thought that C/S had the latitude to do this, however, it does stink. Thanks again.

Thanks
Thanks
The only other thing I can think of is if they have coverage for all the days of your trip, including days you fly in on red eyes, DH, ect? If one day of the trip don't have it, or it's during a holiday period and they don't want to, it won't be dropped.
Good luck.

A significant number of pilots asking for illegals on a web based survey.
On the other hand, there was apparently a number of pilots who wrote their reps asking that there not be CDO's.
With these conflicting data points; what's wrong with asking the group as a whole using a scientifically valid survey?
