I think the air is clearing a bit for Comair. We've been through a lot in the past 7-8 years (strike, bankruptcy) and we are starting to turn the proverbial corner and relatively good things are happening, albeit slowly. I started just prior to the bankruptcy and have had nothing but bad news since I have been here, so its nice to see some things in our favor.
I'll take what I can get.

Now that's a pretty gosh darn good memory. How do you remember who had what avatar on another webboard from a few years ago? Do you take ginko biloba supplements?

It's all in Section 24-D of the Contract. (Pages 24-6 and 24-7).
And, no, you can not bid for a window. You get what they give you. However, you can (and should) call planning after completion of OE and give them your day off requests. I did and they honored every one of them. Juan is awesome! He was always my favorite scheduler when before he moved to planning.
