ACL,

Ok, I get it now. I guess see where one could drop through the crack.

When it happened to me, I noticed the guy I was flying with was an LCA when I looked to see who I was flying with. So, I started researching all of this (since it was different than NWA's) Sure enough, the trip "dropped off" my line about a week prior. But, everything else was clockwork. Got the call that I was removed for OE and thus time available at almost exactly 24 hours prior. I commuted up to MSP and just sat in the lounge until 12 hours prior. I checked the computer and saw no trip and that I had dropped off the available list and went home about an hour later.

Easy Shemeezy............

Yes, a pain to go up and sit around. Yes, a pain that they "couldn't release me" early, ie not commute in (scheduler said she would have if I'd been a reserve, but I wasn't).

But............much nicer than the NWA way. See, I can say something nice

Ferd

PS Did you see the black KAL monument on the mountain, it's just left of the UNZ VOR. So sad
