How do I get that window visible on my Mac? Thanks in advance.
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

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.

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.

.
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.

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.

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.
