How will they staff them? Plenty of FO's, but not enough Captains.

Does anyone use DC Noise Cancelling headsets on the ER?

In years past when I flew it it was unheard of. But now I'm hearing people are coming around.

Below 18,000 only.

(I know there's no hot mic.)

I wear it...It's good, but I leave one ear off for checklist responses and general discussion....Feel free to PM if want more intel!

Announced on Skyhub by the 717 Chief Standards Pilot. Not sure if the recent AE accounted for it by since it's raining Green on the 717 I doubt it.

Great thanks! Ya, it's GS city right now, lots of thunder being rolled. It's only the third and one dude has already had 2 IAs and 1 GS. There are still a few 717As in the training pipeline from the Apr AE and lots still to train from the most recent AEs. Still don't think it will be enough to pick up the extra flying those airframes will provide.

Sounds like it's going to be like that for a while. Training throughput is limited due to LCP availability

Purchased vacation
 
So I purchased 10 vacation days on March 22nd and placed them at the beginning of my PVAC in September. I used iCrew and took a screenshot of the approved transaction. Yesterday I looked at my time card and the vacation days were gone and my bank balance was 31.5 hours greater. When I tried to do the transaction again I was denied and got a message saying the days were not available and to try again next month. Has anyone seen this before or know who I need to speak with to get the days back?

Try using the Smartsheet link available under the crew resources link on DlNet. One question comes to mind though is did you buy for the 2021-22 Vacation year which just ended or next year. I think it defaults to the current year when you buy it unless otherwise specified which might explain your issue. Good Luck!
