Look fellas, I know you have been covering for some who like to fly disputed pairings. Here is the deal per contract: they cannot be assigned via vto unless asked for specifically and you cannot pick them up afterward unless you ask for them specifically.

Those who say they did not know are blind because they want to be. The disputed airings are given out in many different forums and many different ways. You fly then at your own rik and someone who has been with the company over 6 years (as some have been pinpointed) are bkind by choice or dont care about the process.

Get in the game. If it is listed, dont ask for it, that is all you have to do.

I think I can spare the 35 cents to mail a few, if you need one PM me with your address.
Hmmm, I can buy them 10 at a time on eBay for less than $.25 a piece. WOW, I could flip them here at $.35 a piece and clear a whole dollar!

Hey, you could walk around Subic telling all the girls to "eat me", you might get lucky!

I can't imagine anyone intentionally picking up the Airbus SAN trip. It's hard enough to do an AM launch to SAN with a short layover. Now throw in a LBB stop on the way! But then again, it does pay 7:57 CH for a one day trip. Some fool will pick them up.

You know, I was weaned on balut. My amah used to feed me some when my mom wasn’t looking. I’m feeling a bit nostalgic for it right now. Balut was the only thing I understood on this thread.

The Bid is Open for May. There is no possibility that someone can, at this point, pick up a Disputed Pairing out of Open Time, or request one specifically on a Secondary Line. What else can we do at this point to prevent a pilot from "accidentally" picking up one of these pairings out of Open Time? We've debated what to do after a Pairing has been picked up -- but what can we do to prevent it before it even happens?


Is it even important? Well, the SIG seems to think so.
"Ladies and Gentlemen the ALPA SIG believes the disputed pairing process is our best means of fixing rigorous pairing designs, it requires the crew force to keep themselves informed and up to date!"
FlybyKnite made this observation:

The A300 PSIT added this to the May SIG Letter:
Attachment 601

Does this help? Do you think it would be helpful if every PSIT did the same thing? I imagine the PSIT would appreciate feedback, either way.




And, as an aside, who is this Jim Skinner guy making up his own version of Scooby Snacks?!?!
"For the crews receiving mini snacks in SFS. Jim Skinner has found some local products that will meet the crew forces needs as they transit SFS. We had a few committee members taste test the SFS Scooby Snacks and they give 'a thumbs up'."
Where did he find these "products"? Do we want to know?




.
Fred must have misunderstood. I think he said he could find some local talent that would be happy to meet the crew forces needs on a layover in Subic. Wow, do these things get turned around or what....

Step up and get your scorecard for May.

It is my hope that this list will help folks avoid asking for a disputed pairing in their preferences for their secondary line or as a conflict replacement. It's ordered by date/week.

#-#-#-#-#- DISPUTED PAIRING -#-#-#-#-#-

Trip 495 MEM 30 01MAY07, 02MAY07, 03MAY07, 04MAY07

Trip 495 MEM 30 22MAY07, 23MAY07, 24MAY07, 25MAY07

17 trips X 3 pilots = 51 pilot slots

Trip 125 ANC 11 01MAY07

3 trips X 2 pilots = 6 pilot slots

#-#-#-#-#- DISPUTED PAIRING -#-#-#-#-#-

ALPA's founders chose "Schedule with Safety" as their motto. Support the SIG/PSIT in upholding that standard-- Don't fly disputed pairings!
