For those with no change, it would be hard to confirm that "no change" was "no change" opposed to "we went home."

Yeah I got changed to a new category, which leads to another question if you are going back to the plane from which you just came from inside a year do you have to go through the long program or a shorter one?

The only time I can recall a bid being pulled was back in 1995. I was displaced from ATL M88B to CVG 737B, and they sent about 700 guys to NYC 727C to furlough them. This was back when we were negotiating Contract 1996, aka the Fortune 500 Contract, so I guess it must have been 1996. They cancelled that bid wheb we agreed to put the FLUFS into Air Sunshine, better known as Express today.

I vaguely recall a portion of a small bid being cancelled a few years ago, but the key word is "vaguely". Not really important. I think they chose not to effect some displacements in one or more category.

Pretty sure 3 years is the cutoff for the short course. They'll sprinkle a little holy water on you, and you should be good to go back.

How is it that I volunteer for NYC in my current equipment and not get it?

My schedule is controlled by the hand of God, or NewK, whoever gets there first.:D

It seems the results have been loaded in DBMS.
If it says "NO OUTSTANDING AWARD FOR SPECIFIED PILOT" then you are home free.

If you get to the schoolhouse inside a year, you might only need 2 sims.

Normal Requal (NQ) is given to pilots who have flown (or completed an LOE on) the aircraft within the last 36 months, but not within the last 12 months. The Normal Requal syllabus differs depending on whether a single pilot (with seat filler) or a full crew is being scheduled. Please refer to your individual schedule to see if you are paired with another pilot.
• A single pilot will complete modules: 201, 202, 302, 304, 402, 404, and 843
• A full crew will complete modules: 201, 202, 302, 304, 402, 404, 841, and 842

Special Requal (SQ) is given to pilots who have flown (or completed an LOE) on the aircraft within the last 12 months, but have qualified on another aircraft. SQ also applies to pilots who do not complete CQ during their CQ window (e.g., a pilot coming back from disability or military leave after CQ expires). The Special Requal syllabus differs depending on whether a single pilot (with seat filler) or a full crew is being scheduled. Please refer to your individual schedule to see if you are paired with another pilot.
• A single pilot will complete modules 802 and 843
• A full crew will complete modules 801, 841, and 842

If anyone junior to you in your current base in equipment gets displaced and you request a vol displacement to a position you can hold you should get it.

Thanks! Any ideas on who to email to make that happen, cheaper for the company and way better for me....seems like a win-win, so on second thought that may not happen.

It generally happens automatically. But if you are right up against the 12 months you need to get with the training planners. They will make it happen UNLESS it would require you to be trained out of seniority. They can't do that because it triggers pay protection. They are generally very accomodating and good to work with though. If you get your request in early they will help if they can.
