Quick question, when do they put your pay back days onto your schedule. I'm in day two and they have nothing yet and I want to make sure I get the weekend off.

I believe you have to "Bid" those days under PCS in I Crew. That bid will be run with all others (WS, YS, PS, etc). They will not just show up on your schedule.

You can also "save" those days, add a few more, then bid all those days off. But you must use them before the end of the year (lesson I learned).

Hey Buzz, can you TEVO the Tebow Show for me?

I've got to go to Dubai tonight so I'll miss the Pats-Bucks preseason game. I just want to see if Tebow can throw, and the Bucks have a new kid at sencond QB as well, I'd like to see what he's got.

Should be interesting but I'll miss it. Friday night, 8pm east:

Call scheduling, they should have already put them on your next reserve days.

The SOT can make recommendations to the company, but it would probably be ignored unless we ask them for smaller buckets - which many see as a concession.
If we do have to wait until the next contract for changes I hope we don't trade pay to have the buckets removed... I just don't see that as a meaningful use of resources that would positively benefit the whole pilot group. It would enhance QOL for a few senior guys, hurt it for some junior guys, and leave most of the line holders alone. I think as a group we'd rather have the pay...

Without looking at the charts, runway 18 is just under 7,100 feet long, figure ~ 5,600 roll out on a damp surface. Early reports indicate the aircraft was a half mile short (on the North side) of runway 18. Perhaps a slight quartering tail wind with winds reported "variable." Non precision approaches to RWY 18; RNAV GPS & LOC available to 18.

Condolences to family, friends and co-workers.

Was bored, so I looked it up. And it's the thing I did a while back.

I Crew
- Schedules
- PCS
- Leave Requests
- Payback Days
* then click "Add/ Update Leave Request" at the bottom.
