USPS and Day flying
 

Great loss of daytime flights on the AirBus, has any other airframes lost it also ? I believe the SIG made notes on it during the rundown on the SIG NOTES ................USPS contract day flights gone away ?

As an MD driver frequently on B-Reserve ... I have been flying my "backside" off. I assume many of those MD daytime flights are USPS freight?

Is it a shift in flying from day to night or just an overall loss in flying? If so, how much lost?

From what I have seen in the bidpacks and talking to other crewmembers, there seems to be a greater number of "backside of the clock" flying taking place ............. I am suspicious that we have lost a major piece of our daytime flying, thinking this is USPS bags of mail, but no one from the SIG is talking much about it other than the small profound statement made during the last SIG NOTES.
The shift of SIBA bidding ceasing in the AirBus has also introduced those crews into the already extremely crowded seniority list for bidding purposes, although there remains a very little amount of SIBA type trips which will continue to be bid by those that can hold it. If anyone can shed more light on this, please let us know ..................
