I think you need a French visa for that one.

Anyone know what A+ and B+ reserve lines are?

Guess I'm going to have to break out the contract.

Reserve Periods (RP)
Reserve periods may take any of the following forms:
Reserve Period A (RP-A) is a 12 hour period of time beginning at the start of the day.
Reserve Period A+ (RP-A+) is a 12 hour period of time beginning 6 hours after the start of the day.
Reserve Period B (RP-B) is a 12 hour period of time beginning 12 hours after the start of the day.
Reserve Period B+ (RP-B+) is a 12 hour period of time beginning 18 hours after the start of the day.
Reserve Period 24 (RP-24) is a 24 hour period of time beginning at the start of the day.

If it gives you any idea of how they might use you, there is 1 (one) A+ line and 4 (four) B+ lines in my seat.

This should be interesting. For any trip that they need to man, there should be two groups of Reserve Line holders (3 if you count the R24, given enough notice) to pull from. Right now I can see the leveling of all the RA guys, but I don't know how the RA+ or RB+ guys would rank. The first half of my period the RB+ folks would be players, and the last half the RA+ would interact. I think we'll have to learn a little.

This is the first month for published A+ and B+ lines. Previously, scheds could slide an individual 6 hours on a single day basis, but as Tony mentioned, it didn't show up on the VIPS leveling screen. It's possible that in March, the levelling will show all five categories, A, A+, B, B+, and R24.

Up till now, on the 727, B reserve was for the Cheetoh eaters. In Oct (vacation in Nov and Dec is not typical,) I went to the airport 5 times, and 4 were for standbys. The other was a PM out-n-back.
