Also did anyone else catch that Bob is still touting the 18 month upgrade? I'm at 24 months and still at lease a couple months away from upgrade.
I feel like we may have a George Bush/Dick Cheney situation at compass, with BG being "in charge" but in reality clueless and content, while MW is Dick Cheney and is controlling everything behind the scenes.

For interest what was the comment about scheduling and how was it responded to?
It's interesting how they're trying to treat short call people like they're on long call when we could have just had long call people from the beginning. Amazing how that works.

Seriously. Anyone have an estimate/best guess as to when the newbies that have been awarded bases the last two awards might start hitting the line? Not that I don't love the 95 hour lines of unproductive trips, but ya know..

Well, since they're offering to buy back our not-yet-awarded 2018 vacations through March 2018, I am not surprised at all. Would expect this to be the "new norm" at least through March. Get ready to enjoy 95 hour lines with min days off!

A buddy who was hired in the summer just finished IOE, so they're hitting the line already.

AB is a class act! He lives in cincy and has commuted to MSP every week for 6 years. No brainer choice for him to leave...
