I'm wondering what the chances are of me getting out of this trip. I know I have no control over it, but I might try and trade trip for one with a better overnight depending on the odds.
LOE on the LCA schedule means the LOE scheduler has designated that trip for an OE. You can check about 2 days out for the name of the person getting the OE in the remarks section of the rotation. Regular scheduling will call and release you the night before the trip to make sure no one has wicked out. Then you can stay home, white slip, or green slip during that time. Caution, sometimes the OE scheduler will not use the whole trip and you'll be on the hook for the beginning or end.
If your name is Russell G., you can stopping checking my schedule. Wait until a few days before.
