Green slips galore on fifi this weekend. My phone has been ringing non-stop. Finally got an offer that I couldn't refuse. :)

Why Emirates and friends will soon reshape American aviation

Why Emirates and friends will soon reshape American aviation | CAPA - Centre for Aviation

Widget works didn't work for me just now. they haven't updated their bid months, and their script fails trying to download the 01May13 schedule and the 01Jun13 schedule.

Most of flightline's stuff is obsolete and is no longer updated or fixed after sabre bought them... their customer service and information about their products is abyssmal. Trying to find out what the software does or can do? If someone doesn't show you, you won't find squat for info/help.

Just started 11 days off and put in GS while on days off for RES for in base and out of base w/ no luck. I think the GS is for the Uber-Senior. Maybe one day.....

Baja.

I'm in the bottom 10% in category. I've gotten GS's 3 out of the last 3 months, and could have had more. It's getting worse (better?), too.

What category are you in?

Yes. I am jr atl88b and have been flown into the plus 15 part every month. Remember, you are full when reaching your personal guarantee not the original res guarantee. I flew over 91 hrs last month w/o volunteering. Not looking forward to summer.

This sounds familiar, although I haven't gotten to 91 hours yet. But I agree, they will squeeze every ounce out for the month if possible.

Customer service isn't great since Sabre acquired, I agree. The rest of what you wrote is not really accurate.

WW is updated when needed...though it can/does lag a few days for updates... oh well.

No one has ever shown me how to use the product... pretty easy to figure out actually. But then, no one has shown me how to use the contract to maximize pay/time off either... just read it and figured it out myself... something I encourage every one to do... though it is much more difficult to understand than WW.

Obtw, I've already made at least an additional 20k this year using WW & the contract. Is WW perfect? Not even close. But, not bad for a $10/mo tax deductible investment. As long as I get this kind of ROI, I'll put up with Sabre.

If it doesn't work for you that's fine... just thought others might be interested. :)

P.s. Don't think WW will work if one is an i-something guy.

You will not be used on reserve past your "full month", as in reserve guarantee, unless you yellow slip. I've had two full months in MAR & APR and they marked my schedule FULL after I passed the guarantee. I'm not sure when the ALV+15 applies.

Not exactly true under the new contract. If you are even one minute under your guarantee, you can still be assinged anything that does not take you past ALV+15, no yellow slip required.
