That is what I am saying! Have to test the waters somewhere! An increase in market share is a good thing, it can be better once flown by Delta pilots on Delta planes, but like others have said, it's a start.

Actually, my rep indicated that a monetary penalty would be an acceptable outcome.

Unbelievable.

What a bunch of garbage.
They're handing out Saturday trips on a Thursday?

The point I was trying to make is that if we're all going to be assigned trips, then the senior guy should have preference. Or if I want to fly, I should be able to take a trip on my reserve day regardless of what bucket I'm in.

No. Just trying to plan my commute for the trips on Saturday. Difference between leaving tomorrow morning at 5am or 11pm.

Cycle,
Did you put in a yellow slip for the trip? The 3 day trip is supposed to go to the person with 3 days of availability, regardless of seniority...all things being equal of course. If you YS, then I think you would have gotten the trip.

I called scheduling and they said that the trip will go to the 3 day bucket person regardless of seniority or yellow slip because I'm in the 6 day bucket.

A YS will be trumped if there is a pilot whose bucket matches the length of the trip.
