There is a risk here though; if you don’t get bought off, then you’re stuck flying the red eye. I wouldn’t recommend bidding for anything that one wouldn’t want to fly themselves if they don’t get bought off. Some people don’t mind red eyes, others can’t stand them. Just something to consider.

. I'm always hearing recycle or "say intentions" That one I got but only because the strike finder fuel was topped off. Mine is alcohol powered.

Didn’t commuting positive space get extended to 31 Jul?

yes on the pos space. Or you could say the company is suspending pos space commuting 1 Aug. Depends on how many cups of coffee you have had so far this morning. I just think if they are returning to ops normal in these other areas, time for the notifications to go back to normal too. I’ve not played the LCA game for a while but probably will again soon.

A post this morning on the faceplace said scheduling has unilaterally made a change. They're not releasing you until the LCA calls and verifies that all flying pilots are in the originating base. Although rare, I would occasionally had to show up to the airport before being release when I was still on the 737. That said, it not the norm...it sounds like this change will now be the norm. Of course, take it for what it's worth...a random FB post.

Good, I’m glad. When I read the first post suggesting it, I was like, “that’s f$&@in’ crazy”, lol. I didn’t think he was serious until the replies, and then I thought, maybe he is? Maybe it actually is something guys do on different fleets like the ER? I wouldn’t know, I’m on the 73 and hate red eyes. Glad to hear it wasn’t serious, and it just went over my head. And yes, recycling now with the flash.

Lol, right. We don't get bought off LCA trips on my fleet so I've been out of the loop on the goings on wrt LCA trips. The post caught my eye as it's a bit ridiculous, as always if it ain't in the PWA... Anyway, I picked my displacement aircraft so I could be as senior as possible with hopes of bidding with LCA...need to relearn this game.

Haha, no worries. I’ve been guilty of it.
