Yea, MPJ I hear you. But, funny thing is.....I once flew with a FO who had a wife with a spending problem and he lamented that he could never get any extra time. I told him I had some techniques and he was all ears. I proceeded to buy the beers and spend a couple of hours Swap board, swap a 3 day for a 9 day, blow though all ALV+15 governors, blind swaps, broken trips, DH's, on, and on, and on. All my greatest tips and tricks. At the end of it, his comment was not, "Thanks".... not, "Thanks for the beers"...but,.... "That sounds like too much trouble"
This type of thing happened more than once. Never underestimate some peoples unwillingness to learn, internalize lessons/input or be curious about things that can materially affect their life. Something about a horse and water comes to mind. But I do understand your concern even though it was somewhat tongue in cheek:cool: |

I flew with a bottom feeder line holder that had the most primo trips. He culled all the trips he wanted to fly and loaded more than 300 swap with the pot trading his initial crap for really senior trips. He said he spent about an hour inputting it while watching his kids watch a movie. His logic was 1 hour of "pain" to input for a month of superb trips. |
So for example if you’re on reserve from the 15th-18th can you request a “blind swap” to drop reserve days and pick up a trip? Or does it only work if you have a line?

I flew with anolder CA once who complained about the trips and the days of work. I asked if he'd ever bad day, worse day swap. He literally always just flew his awarded line. He hadn't. I tried explaining it to him but he changed the subject within a minute.
There are people on both sides, but I'm glad you got that off your chest, and I apologize if me stating it was a FO that you felt threatened. That was not my intent I feel properly chastised. |
When you’re looking to drop your month and put in all the mega swaps, do you list all trips for drop on PCS on one line, or individual drops for each?
