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

If you pick up trips out of open time, they do not count towards leveling.

M/U trips are not leveled.

Here's a question for someone brighter than me....(most people). If you put in for general M/U instead of picking through the open time, will you be assigned that trip first before any of the guys grabbing up open time??

I swear I saw a trip open and I put in for that bit** ASAP this morning. Earlier timestamp!! ***!!

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.

That's just because your deer are wimps. The real deer are in the South.

General Make-up applies after the assignment window opens at 1000L MEM time. Those requests are taken into consideration for unfilled trips (trips not requested for make-up) before reserves are assigned... That's how I have it explained to me by CRS when I was on reserve (R-24) and was trying to see where I stood in the order to get called . They said General Make-up would take trips before I would get assigned.

So.... if someone puts in for a M/U trip before 1000L... It will never make it to the General Make-Up time.

Clear as mud??

No kidding! The other day, 3 deer were seen here in Connecticut, carrying a brand new Hummer off into the woods.:D I guess that's what meant by getting a hummer.:)

I agree. "Give me that trip" trumps "give me a trip." And as mentioned, trip-specific make-up is treated like a trip trade, and acted on at any time, as opposed to during the daily assignment process.
