one other thing...

am I slow on the up take or have they tweaked the optimizer again for the mem to west coast pairings. From what it looks like to me they schedule you for over 8/24, which trips the extended crew rest trigger... but from what I see they put them on the end of a block or where the extended crew rest period is on your time off. Now they don't have to give you 24 hours on the west coast, they schedule a short turn on the west coast, let you exceed 8/24 and then let you cover the rest requirement's on your time... more on us, less on them.... again.

Wonder if thats a result of locking out the extended SIG group. 2 SIG guys trying to cover what 16 SIG guys use to do... but having 2 SIG guys meets the contract requirement to have input from the SIG, so it's ok... right?
