I have no problems viewing what page I'm on (bottom center). What version of adobe reader do you have? I'm using 7.05. Maybe you can adjust your window size? Or just download the pdf file to your mac :cool:

Hold the ctrl key down and select the bidpack it will give you the option to download it on your computer instead of viewing it on Safari. Then when you open up the pdf file you can go to the specific page. Or you can download adobe acrobat reader and make that your primary pdf program and it will act like windows. Adobe is way slower than the pdf software that came with your mac.

Hope this helps!!!

"Clicking on the Accepted Fare link under VIPS Trips and Services only allows Jul06 and earlier?!"

After Jul 06 the accepted fares were in expense report section.

My RA line was switch to an RA+ schedule several months back and far as leveling goes you are ONLY leveled against other pilots with the exact same Reserve line. RA's are leveled with other RA's and RA+'s are only leveled against other RA+'s. It really gives the schedulers flexability and can work for you or against you (usually against me), a real crap shoot.

I flew a trip and thought I would have moved down to the bottom but NO. I was only leveled against myself:( for the rest of the month.

The only advantage I see is now the "shifted" Reserve periods will be planned and published, not simply sprung on the unsuspecting crewmember without notice. If you actually like that schedule, you can bid it. It's been done since the first contract -- now we get to include it in our plans.

So Tony: In a nut shell what is the best way to bid when one has training due. And what is best to bid when one has vacation with respect to all the questions one has to answer...... Thanks for your guideance......:o

JetJock...

Shouldn't this go under the "ask Tony" section??

Gee, I think we covered that topic at length somewhere else . . . wait, are you talking about recurrent training, or ITU?


This month should be very "educational" for us with the new system being inaugurated.

Recurrent traing........... Sorry didn' mean to bug you........

I apologize if I came off sounding like a jerk there -- I was in a hurry and didn't think about the recurrent question until I was typing. I should have just deleted what I had typed before that.


I think the priorities for bidding training slots will be the same, but the process a little different. That "Slide Show" on the pilot.fedex.com home page does a pretty good job of explaining that -- I recommend you view that if you haven't already. I went through it once, and I'll do it again when I have a chance. I have recurrent and a vacation in March (well, actually an April vacation that could be slid), so I'll be studying it carefully before I submit my bid. ;)
