Anchorage open DP update...

For April there are 18 trips left in open time for Captains, only 5 are NOT disputed: 3 9APR; 2094 10APR; 140 23APR; 142 24APR; 136 26APR

For F/O's it is even easier. 21 trips in open time and only 1 is NOT disputed:
54 7APR

Lets keep it that way as open time becomes available tonight.

Hey VTO holders in ANC. Did everyone get a company e mail this morning from a Capt wanting to trade a trip, or offering it up for trading?

Isn't this the same guy that flew the only left seat DP in Jan 08? Any one know him or get a reason why? He never answered any of my communications.

That's exactly why I NEVER bid VTO ... you are guaranteed NOTHING on your VTO request. I called the "Futures" manager to complain and was told, "It's called a VTO request for a reason."

This bears repeating. Anybody listening out there??

Oh...word is that sick usage for ANC has been 20%+ for the last few months, compared to 4-6% for crews elsewhere. Wonder why?

MEM 11 DP's

I just checked the MEM-11 APR DP's and so far ... most of them are unassigned. Good job guys (and girls). It looks like the Reserve folks will be quite busy (although I'm not certain about the logic of it being "OK" for them to fly these sh*tty trips either?). The only exception seems to be RFO pairings, most of which have been filled

Be careful picking up open time tonight and tomorrow.

And for the 727 Cap seat, only 1 DP has been picked up, 37/22APR08. Looks like it was picked up during the View/Add as a CIA trip. Time for some e-mails
