Okay, I figured out how to get the old monthly schedules (thank you), but when I try to get the rotations it says something like 'check rotation date'. I can only get rotations for a few months back.

I don't know, I use the iCrewMax plug in for Firefox, I just click on the rotations on my schedule.

I don't think this is correct. I just dropped an entire 4 day by APD one day then picked up a white slip overlying the last two days of the dropped trip. You cannot pick up anything on your APD day, however.

Good way to make the same amount of money by working less days if the coverage works out right and you have not used your APD. I do it every year in the month before my anniversary date if I haven't used my APD.

What is the age to sit in first/business class as a non-rev? I'm thinking we're almost there...

I think it's 8, unless they raised it to 10.

I know. Started a whole thread dedicated to it. Me, you and RJ guys responded.

Enter the reserve Green-slip. Straight pay - yes. Albeit, above the cap and finally, here is the most important part, you get your days off back.

Scoop

Rolling Thunder is the most effecient way to make more and work less, no doubt. If I lived in base, I'd be doing that every month instead of bidding regular lines! I chose to live where I wanted to spend time on my days off, vs. making it easier to get to work. So I value my days off more than mo'money, 38% of which goes straight to Uncle Sam anyway. 28 years and I have yet to fly a greenslip. I turned a 5 day GS down last week worth 64 hours.

They can't tax your time off yet, but I'm sure they are working on it!
