Sorry, that went right over my head. I've been off work for the past year and a few months and I've still not gotten bored enough to go fishing. As for the hunting thing, well I did that in Viet Nam, and the thing that made that so exciting was the prey shot back. I've yet to see Bambi with an AK-47, so I'll leave the hunting stuff to someone else.

Open Time
One of the trips that popped into open time in ANC today (159/1NOV) was picked up by a guy who is working 33 out of 35 days in the November bid month. With guys working that much, it's no wonder there's never any open time.

True that, I just think this was one of the rule changes in the last contract that increased company scheduling efficiency which means less bodies required.

I just wonder if the flying they pick up goes towards their leveling? If so, it's a brilliant idea. Anyone know the answer?
