What does that mean?

It is a 1.0 or a 1.5. Scheduling can raise it to a 1.5 if it is a busy month and they do not want people moving stuff around.
I say that, and on the first run I got everything I wanted.

I had heard that the purchaser backed out because of the economy, the 757 sale fell through and the birds are sitting in the desert.
Same result for the pilots, though.

We have a lot of 757's, 7ER's and a few 88's in VCV.

Look at the "Pilot Staffing Level"; if there aren't more "Available" pilots than there are "Required" on reserve, I'm pretty sure your request will be denied.
You can always try the "Swap Board" though. The sooner you put them up, the better. In any case, it's always best to try BOTH the swap board AND the leave board when trying to dump trips.
