FDX- Pairing Question
The original Captain on one of my trips for Sept. was removed for some reason and a Captain from another crew base was assigned to the trip (weird), but obviously a different paring number. On the new Captain's pairing it has "(TRN)" attached to the pairing. I'm assuming that means training, but I've never seen that attached to a pairing. Does that mean I'm on the sucky pilot list and need extra training
? Anyone else ever seen this? thanks.

When I seemed to be getting more than my fair share of line checks (they must have heard about me?) I asked Standards if there was "something" I should know about concerning EOS? They said EOS is a SCP program and that "if" you are in it, you will know about it ... (I guess that was good news?)

Had a similar situation last year. Capt removed and deadheaded home half way thru a 4 day ANC trip to the lower 48. Deadhead a capt from Mem off draft to fly the trip back to ANC then deadhead back to MEM. I couldn't figure it out. called CS (after capt had already left to go home to ANC) . After talking to a scheduler and manager, no one had any idea why the capt was sent home. Neither capt was a LCA nor was I do any kind of checkride. I suggest you don't assume anyone has a plan.
