Bahahahaha! I'd pay to watch that fight.

That's some funny sh!t right there.

I always put it at the top of the bid group. Not sure if its required to do it that way, but it has worked out well for me doing it like that.

I usually put:

1. Start Reserve
2. Slide Vacation -6 days (or whatever you want to do), Else start next
3. Rest of bid

Then in the next bid group you can tweak the slide to something else that's acceptable, and so on...

The regs say that rest has to be... prospective.

I was going to look up the word "prospective" but now I don't have to. DeadHead defines it in a way I can easily visualize.

Looks like a fun day in the NFL today... Anybody watching the Lions/Eagles?

I don't think its a coincidence that Dickson dropped this deuce on DALPA's desk right when we have no MEC Chairman.
Whoever takes over on Tuesday is going to have to make a tough call in his first hour on the job.
I hope he gets it right. The whole pilot group is watching.

The DeadSkins must be the worst team in the NFL.

FAR117. If you are a regular line holder this month, and a reserve holder next month, when is the earliest that you are responsible to answer the phone or acknowledge anything? IOW, where does it say that I have to answer the phone at 23:59 to acknowledge a trip on Dec 31st? Which to me means that they cannot assign a trip (that signs in) to a regular to reserve converted line holder before 10:01am. (12:01 actually since I technically have 2 hours to respond) And... Who will be on short call at 00:01?

If you are on RSV January 1st, you must check your schedule after 1500 on the 31st. If there is no trip or SC on your schedule, then you are on LC by default. You cannot be assigned a SC beginning before 5am on your first day of RSV.

Does this mean as a commuter that you're pretty much on SC for the 1st and realistically need to be in base? i.e. could they put a 7am show on your schedule that you couldn't commute in for after 1500?
