I'm off the rest of month. (30/168 pumpkin after 6am tomorrow, and they'd have to have assigned me something already).
It would have to be a killer awesome trip that I'd white slip as a REG to get me off my behind to come in for a GS/QS. Like a 48hr layover in HNL and 2 legs. Maybe a Hockey charter out of EWR. Wait, scratch that, Devils, Rangers and Islanders are all out of the playoffs.
Yeah. Looks like a whole lot of FAFO is about to happen with Crew Scheduling. I used to pick up most any flaming garbage trip if it gave me banked PB days. Now? F that. I've retweaked my bid to "hear the delicate sound of thunder in the distance" (some days off I need, so won't fully roll thunder next month)
Unleash the dogs of war. This summer is gonna be interesting.
It is halfway through April. I just went through the entire TC for this month for ATL 717B. There have been exactly 6 trips picked up via ARCOS WS (W code on DTC). 2 of those were in the first day. If a trip isn't being covered by a reserve, then the company is paying double (not counting 23m7) to cover it. SS, GS, QS, and IA. 2 pilots got QS #5 today, and yesterday a pilot got a 4 day GS as G#4. Many SS sit fully soaked for days not picked up until they reach the manual TC window. There is no incentive for anyone to a bust their butt grabbing crappy bid packet trips when so many easier, broken trips are going out every single day for double pay.
