The new system works nice for some of you guys in MEM. Sucks for those in SFS that want time off. Under the old system didn't matter what training session you got. Bidding reserve and protecting min days off made you available for 4, yes 4 reserve days in a 4 week bid month. So what is a fella supposed to do now?

First class round trip ticket to the states, oh boy.

Option 1:
Deviate, go to Pattaya Beach, Thailand for 2 days, be a deviant. First Class to Miami (or some other US city), hang out. Jumpseat to Memphis for 3 days of training. Jumpseat to Miami (or some other US city), hang out. First Class ticket to Manila, once more be a deviant. Back to SFS just under the bank (hoping that you can recall what you did with all those receipts)

Option 2:
Do not deviate, layover in NRT and SEA on the way to MEM. Do 3 days of training. Layover in SEA and NRT on the way back. Go to Vascos, have a San Mig Light and watch the sunset.


Under the new system option 1 is still a viable option but you can forget all that hanging out in Miami (or some other US city) unless you want 18 hours of pay for that month. Can some one tell us in SFS how to get all the benefits of Option 1 and get full RLG under the new system?
