Technical question. I've got a King Air trip coming up. Did the previous pilot leave the ground high heat swith on? Hoped some of you could examine this cockpit photo and help a guy out.

Too Fake!!! Give me some "real" ladies!

The company has until 1800 on the 4th to post the CQ bid awards. Usually they are done prior to now, but since today is the 3rd they are probably still in the CQ bid run process.

Nothing is "guaranteed" until the contractual timelines. So you aren't "guaranteed" any bid packages posted on DLNet or PBS access via NavTech until 1800/04th of every month.

Though often times we can get the next month's info a day or so early, consider that a bonus early peek at next month's trips.

Hypothetical...

7 days on reserve. Get a 4 day trip followed by a 11 hour rest period. Once the trip is over, if they don't already have a trip or short call assigned, when is the soonest they can assign something? Also, what if any obligation is there to answer the phone during the rest period? Trying to figure out if they can extend that rest to 24 hours while I'm in the rest period to make me legal for another 3 day assignment or do they have to wait until the rest period is over to assign more rest (thus breaking the rest)

I'm sure that's ridiculously confusing.

The 717 did get off the gate, but about :20 mins late. No idea what the delay was about. I'm sure the mechanics will get the a/c squared away, and reliable. Wasn't that way in this case, yet.

The problem might be that we have Boeing expectations for a Douglas product. After a while you just apply the high speed rejected takeoff criteria; fire, failure, fear ... outside of that it will probably make it from Atlanta to Jackson Mississippi and back.
