Two questions:
1. Where can we find the list of designated sweep flights in the "electronic" bid packs? Since we are no longer given a paper copy or PDF version, I can't find them.
2. Any reason a trip recap wouldn't show as a revision when an additional destination was added on a return leg to Memphis? I'm trying to determine if this qualifies for extra landing pay and lack of a trip revision seems kinda shady to me.

In the MEM MD-11 bid pack Sweep Flights are on page 139/300, page 2 of part 2 of bid pack.
A trip recap should show the extra city you landed and took off from. You probably will have to put in a pay log to get paid for the extra landing.

On the same page on PFC that contains the links to the electronic bidpacks is a link to the PDF file. Sweeps for the 727 for July are on pg. 27 of the PDF. For June, it's pg. 25.

If it's a designated sweep flight there is no extra pay.
If it's not, you'll have to submit a pay log.
Interesting note: I was launched on an airport stby (not on reserve) and the pairing we stepped to the jet with was a simple PM O&B that was a late minute XTRA pairing. At the first destination, we were rescheduled to fly to LCK before returning to MEM. Given the original pairing was just an O&B, and I was not on reserve, the company had to pay for xtra landing --- I believe in the new contract it's just +30 min though.

Ok, time to confess my ignorance... PFC? I'm looking on the Monthly Bidpak page on VIPS and do not see the link to the PDF versions.
