Careful, 76drvr will get mad. It was a GOOD deal.

Everyone has to finish their drink if he makes a reference to me being a moderator again, FYI.

 

You know the one thing I hate about you?

Is that when you come home from a trip, you look at your wife and say, "hey, babe, you want to go to bed early tonight?"

And she says...



******** moderator.

 

Newk at church.

 

Wow! That's a frikkin surprise! (No, not really. I live here and have observed the marriage for several years.)

Finally, lets get it on.

 

Hey Guys,

Trying the new PBS option to slide vacation in November. I can't get it to work. Just wanna move it three days but every way I try to enter it, huge fail.

What am I missing? Thanks much in advance.

LMAO. And, yes, vert speed is way mo betta than vnav. I just like to throw in all kinds of different ways to **** off the CA. Works about half the time.

 

Buzz, I had the same thing-- are you using the desktop app? There is a drop down box there, it is blank so you don't notice it, and you have to select it and then click on your vacation... it will THEN let you hit "apply". I ended up going back a year reading all the sched papers sent out to figure it out, could NOT figure out why it wouldn't let me enter it!
Good luck.

NOW what you have to think of is are you going to check the "Else Start Next" on it? If you CAN'T slide your vacation, you may want to have another bid group to ask for trips with vacation as is... if you CAN slide it, you may want different things. At least, in my case, a 2 day slide would make a big difference in what I ask for as it puts me close to Thanksgiving and the delicate dance there to get the days off.

see PBS notepad 12-02 "New Features for May 12" for info. You also have to make the range NOT INCLUDE "0", which is the same day. So you can slide 1-3, or exactly 3, but NOT -1 (day prior) to 3. And you can't slide over any other existing event or any portion into another month.

 

On the 757/767, I always used VS until hitting the VNAV path. I really don't know why more people didn't use that vice using recruise and watching the thing waft up and down chasing speed with the parked throttles.

The airbus just flips over and sheds its tail. Every time. Beware.

 

I slid mine 6 days in October. Worked beautifully. Make sure you get the '-' symbol in there if you want to move it earlier in the month. -6 slid mine up 6 days. Good luck

 

Did you ever send your money into the Delta Pilots Charitable Fund, or are you still all type, no do?

At least you haven't "disappeared" like themanager...
