Ask and you shall receive. I'm not in to mods which require the FAA form 337's on women (until needed). So here, a couple of natural c's.

Thanks! Happy New Year! With all the drinks I'm seeing double.

iceman,

That list is supposedly the "target SCs" for the respective month. Crew Schedulers don't use it, & many don't even know it exists. I'd take it with a grain of salt.

Also, there isn't any statistical info out there showing average # of SCs assigned to individuals.

Iceman, sometimes there are twice as many people on SC than the list would suggest. And sometimes the times are not adhered to. Even the ALPA guys will tell you it's a "guideline". I'm always on reserve (in base) and never look at the "targeted list". It just frustrated me!

I get it that its just a guideline, however it would be nice if we had some statistical data to provide some transparency.

Look at which data? How many SC are sat? How close to the published times they are? Yeah, it would be neat to see - but IROPS always change the game. Is 5 reserves enough for a line of thunderstorms? 10? 12? What about winter weather? I get that the company needs flexibility - and the list is a step forward, but pilots see a list and we expect it to be followed, kinda like the Vol 1 or FOM.

i wonder how much sc assigments are predicated on standing WS and GSs? If there are not many WS for instance i wonder if thats when they go crazy on SCs?

About to non-rev on Expressjet (formerly ASA) on a former Pinnacle route. Mainline travels as S3c and behind Expresjet and Expressjet parents. Was it like that on ASA before they merged with Expressjet?

I don't understand why mainline would travel on a delta connection flight behind Expressjet's parents. Is this new?
