His Capt today is on the R&I committee. He will surely get an earful on his way to FLL today from him.

Just for the record.... lots of us are awarded hard lines, then drop them totally, or trade them totally- like me!! (I am not flying one trip from my awarded line- I traded or dropped everything. I am 6 hours below BLG.) So looking up what line a guy was rewarded won't necessarily show whether or not he is doing extra flying.

For the record, this guy has both trips from his awarded Aug line, plus c/o from his July line, plus the 3 extra trips! I'm very careful to list all the possiblities when I look at guy's "hard line". He did NOT drop any of his trips, nor conflict his c/o or protect min days off, and the only way he could be awarded the 3 extra trips (notice I didn't say DFT or VLT) would be MU, VLT or DFT. Notice I didn't comment on the trip on his July calendar that was not on his "hard line". And what's up with NOQ a day after calling in sick? Run out of sick?

I heard about this guy- he rented a bike in ANC, and took a really bad fall. He was sick in the field, and off to recover. That was what the NOQ was all about. Taken off to figure out if it was workman's comp I suppose.

Again, the trip in question, I was called for draft this morning. There does not seem any other possibility than that trip is being flown at draft.

Especially if you were called the day of the trip or even the day prior. It wouldn't have been in OT. I guess it is possible to get as a SUB trip
