I have only held a line once in the last few years, so this may be a really basic question. Is it possible to pick up an out of base trip off the swap board? I tried to do it and got denied, is there a way to do it or am I out of luck? Thanks guys.

Negative.

You can out-of-base WS, but not until the day prior, and even a reserve with a high slip will get the trip before you.

Not possible to swap between bases either via open time or pilot-to-pilot.

A good head start would be Kirby Smart.

I'll buy you a case of beer if Gruden goes to Auburn. I think he's headed to the Eagles. You can have Bobo, though. I also don't think UGA deserves a #3 ranking after the way they were destroyed by the Gamecocks.

Do we have any non rev privileges besides normal ZED / ID90 on AS (for pass riders, not jumpseat)?

I was looking at the routemap and wondering if we should build something into the next contract. When they finish taking over the rest of our flights that go to, from, and along the west coast, it's going to be tough to get the family out that direction. SEA, LA, PDX, HI, AK - all places I'd like to be able to get to.

The latest trend appears to be them flying trans-cons for us. The number of those appears to have tripled or so in the past year. As they pick up more of the flying between our hubs and theirs, it will be tough to put the family on DL metal between the west coast and anywhere else. Might be a low-cost contract item to think about...

You know the old saying, "If you don't think you can beat em, or don't want to try, and you can profit by letting them have your customers, might as well join em."
