AAWW when you fail bidding
So... I bump into my buddy at the hub last night. Exchange the standard pleasantries, and then proceeds to rant.
I'm out for 40 days man... no ****, why ??
Here's how. 17 day ANC pattern with an early start. Must commute two X days prior (off season for airlines ). Now he is at 19 days.
The rant continues on our MSDOS bidding system and how he just mistyped his bid. 17 day trip on Jan 1. This now has put him at 36 days. But... it's gets better. Scheduling extended him another 3 ( 39 days ), to protect the operation- another words, cover for not attracting enough pilots.
He will finish up the morning on day 39, and make his way back home to the Southern US. Arriving on day 40/41.
The good news, he has 10 days off after, and junior guys in class behind him.
YMMV
