MD-11 f/o open time for this afternoon!! (noon LBT)
I'm assuming they are in open time due to insufficient reserve coverage.

I'm not smart enough to make them links.

Ice storm and 4a2b reserve levels don't exactly mix. I guess PC has job security because he is willing to screw us over as much as needed.

Looks like plenty of -11 Capts have stepped up to the draft plate.

On point, except one little word. Replace "plate" with "trough" and that makes in perfect! Perfectly nauseating.

Maybe they are calling in the A team, you know.... "When you need the TD you give the ball to the ones that perform."

FWIW, Crew Scheduling started calling crews with afternoon launches "changing" their showtimes via telephone BUT NOT IN VIPS.

They want crews to show 3 1/2 hours later than their original show times. (These are not X-pairings, but normally scheduled trips).

Not eligible for RAT because it is less than 4 hours.

IMHO, FDX is trying to circumvent the 16 hour duty.

My pairing was changed to show and T/O 2hrs late.

A late in life comment from Joe Paterno when asked if he would do anything different if he could go back in time;

I would play performance instead of potential.

Actually,

If they didnt' change the pairing in VIPS, then I am assuming the showtime is still the "Scheduled Pairing Showtime" in VIPS. Maybe they were actually trying to save everyone the time at home for a change. Take your time coming in so you don't kill yourself coming in.

I am not real motivated to do extra right now, but JB in his FCIF indicated they were trying to keep crews at the Hotel as long as possible while in the field and not just bring them in because they can. He's always seemed to me to be a common sense, "stand-up guy".

Maybe I'm wrong....I sat this one out at home, listening to the trees crash down around me.

Duty starts at original show or beginning of R day. Sounds like they did not want to give people excuses to deny the change thus putting them in further hurt locker. For those of you on reserve don't forget putting in the FAR extension pay if you go over 13+30 duty.

FDX was right to cancel the FRI afternoon sort.

Last night, the weather didn't cooperate and now the system is 4 to 8 hours late. We are playing catch-up, being on a Sat/Sun, looks like things will be back to normal Sun night (just like JB's email).

Sure, the courtesy phone call was "nice" but it doesn't affect me. I (and a few others) were already here.

It is a rough day for a lot of folks and I should have waited to see what the release states for Duty Times before I formulated a conspiracy theorist opinion

Just looked at my release, and it is based on the original showtime.
