I haven't looked at the trip but You mention it is scheduled to block in @ 0954
My bet (from reading past Sig notes) is the PSIT guys think that due to circumstances, specific city, multiple legs, past history etc, that it is unlikely that this trip will actually block in by 0954lcl.

The company would never unrealistically schedule block times........would they?

My question was rhetorical......I've flown all three of these trips and 201 is painless compared to the other two.

Yah, that's it!!

Let's set the bar as low as we can get it. And, then just raise it up one notch.

What does the company need an optimizer for? Let's just have you guys build the pairings.

Wow,

I was thinking about bidding WB Capt on the next bid - whenever that may be. That kind of pairing makes me think I may stay in the right seat for pairing avoidance!

Not coming to Busboys defense or anything but I think he was referring how you would take #201 any day compared to the Toluca garbage you did. Hence, lowering the bar when in essence nothing is really being lowered due to the fact that #201 is a fine pairing according to SIG.

Wow! I guess flying those reserve trips makes you a little testy.

If you'll read my post...I said nothing about you picking up DPs. I'm glad that you don't.

But, you did say "give me 201 anytime!" Your TLC trip does sound truly horrible. But, that doesn't make 201 any better. Does it?

That was my sarcastic point.
