Trip Parking
Under the TA, the Pilot to Pilot Swap Board will be reprogrammed to prevent a pilot
from moving a rotation to another pilot’s line of time and later retrieving it from that
pilot. If a rotation leaves a pilot’s line via the Swap Board, it will have to pass through
open time before it can again be placed on his line.
Examples:
1. If Pilot A moves a rotation to the line of Pilot B, he cannot immediately move that
rotation back to his line.
2. If Pilot A moves a rotation to the line of Pilot B, and Pilot B moves that rotation to
the line of Pilot C, the rotation cannot immediately be moved back to the lines of
Pilots A or B.
3. If Pilot A moves a rotation to the line of Pilot B and Pilot B drops it into open
time, Pilot A can pick up that rotation via PCS.
4. If Pilot A moves a rotation to the line of Pilot B, Pilot B drops it into open time,
and Pilot C picks it up via PCS, Pilot A can then move the rotation from the line
of Pilot C to his own line (with the concurrence of Pilot C).

Am I missing something?

Yes you are missing something. The A crew and the B crew (who are flying the same airplane to the same destination) are complicit in the scamming.

A never gets his original rotation back...he gets B's rotation. B gets A's.

The MEC controls the spin. The contract survey said simply "more money, less RJs". One Internet based survey isn't enough to specify specific contract demands. In terms of two months of section 6 we got exactly what we paid for.

Wouldn't it mean that the publications from c1, 20 and 54, are factually correct then?

That is what you are missing. the A crew ends up being the B crew and the B crew ends up being the A crew.

They never get their original trip back.

Correct. It's not the same rotation. Same trip, same plane, same day, but different rotation number=loophole.

Okay, if I'm reading you correctly, it can only be done your way if you're double crewed?

I guess I'm having a hard time picturing how this would work since it all starts with a trip that is in open time. Pilot A gives trip to Pilot B then Pilot A whiteslips opentime trip and then picks up "different" trip from Pilot B that is the "B" trip of pilot A's original trip given to Pilot B.

Again, if I'm reading you correctly, you (the generic you) can only do this on a double crewed aircraft/pairing, not domestically?

With all this talk of sell jobs, I thought I'd mention that a little birdie told me our MEC spent over $650,000 to sell the most recent TA.

Maybe, maybe not...

If an LEC chooses to put out flawed info even after the review process found legitimate errors, then they would not be factually correct.

I would agree that the opinions expressed in LEC pubs are factually correct.;)

Well if a color glossy magazine cost $5, that's $60K for each pretty publication. Then there are the meetings, trip drops for legitimate work and catering. In other words, I'm not surprised ... and who knows how the accounting was done to reach that figure.

C2012 was a lower cost endeavor than fighting until 2015 and the outcome was more certain.

We have some real problems. I'm not sure profligate spending is at the top of the list.

Yes,

On the double crewed 777, it is an easy workaround. I have no idea how many promotions this costs the more junior pilots, but it has to be at least some amount.

A very quick lookup on espn.com shows Ohio State has 3 more active NFL players than GA. Miami (Fla) has 17 more.
so GA- 35
OSU- 38
Miami - 47
USC - 48
Of course this is from ESPN.com.
