While we are all waiting for the AE results, can anyone tell me when we will be able to move reserve days to blocks larger than 6? I thought we were going to be able to do that via PCS since we can bid large blocks of on call days in PBS. PCS still won't let you put more than 6 reserve days in a block.

Wow. Did he take the early out again?

That would be something.

I did not know the man personally, he left just as I was starting at CPZ (I'm a comair refugee, hired post flow). His story is unique and therefore fairly well known around the company.

I wonder if anyone will give him grief for flowing up and not interviewing (I don't know if that actually happens or is just one of those rumors).

Our seniority list has hire date, position and retirement dates on it. Little bit of math, in FTB's case an excel formula and walla.

For literally 98% of the flows its a non issue. Just don't be "that guy" and you'll be fine.

The only reason he & a couple thousand other guys retired then, was to SAVE their lump sum from the impending bankruptcy. There was no good deal for them to leave.
