All to lower paying 737-900ER and A320 positions. Transferring it to ATL 7ER means 757s staying put.

And yet, it's a 365-day bid.

I didn't think that exactly when I read it, but now that you mention it...

So, when is the GUM base going to come up?

Reserve Manning Question

I noticed a 1 day trip coming up and saw a pilot with 1 day availability that I thought would get the trip. Well that Pilot did not get that trip - it went to a pilot with 5 days of availability. OK - Maybe that Pilot requested the trip but then I noticed the Pilot with 1 day of availability disappeared from the reserves available list.

Then I notice the same Pilot shows up next week with a much higher raw score - but this Pilot did not show up on the trip coverage report even once.

So my question is how does a pilot disappear from the availability list without having a trip assigned? And with the increased raw score it appears the Pilot flew but never showed up on trip coverage.

I can think of a few ways the Pilot can disappear from the availability list:

Calling in sick.
Moving x days.

But how would either of these bump up the pilots raw score? I don't think the Pilot went to training (was not scheduled in the bid awards) but somehow disappears and shows up with a higher raw score?

Wouldn't reserve assignments show up on the trip coverage reports? What about covering a trip for another base?

The GUM base opens right after the A321's are delivered.

I know youz guys are jealous when you see someone else eating crow because it tastes so stinkin' good, but I am going to chow on some.

It does appear that trip parking has been significantly curtailed - even with a and b crews.

I think your RAW goes up when sick. If not, my guess (and it's a pure guess) is that you'd penalize people that are sick by essentially work to make up their sickness. Wouldn't surprise me if there were status driving this.

I have had this flu/cold bug for 6 days now and still cough like I am a pack a day smoker.

Hopefully my fellow APC's avoid this crud.
