Two capts and two FO's assigned for each leg. The EUR seats are still open. Good job guys!
The same thing happened last week. Even for the trip that wasn't disputed it stayed in the EUR open time for a long while. Probably hoping to get a Euro pilot to pick it up.
While I realize it may be pointless, ALPA should be sending out an email to alert folks not to pick these things up. I know that they are technically not disputed but they're not helping as usual. A short layover is still a short layover.
