Still no B schedules.
I can never understand the huge delays between the A schedules and the Bs...What are they doing that takes an extra 3 days???

Making sure there the "avoid emp xxx" qualifiers are fulfilled for all the B's(and maybe to also ensure no grey on grey, but that rule may have been repealed, can't remember)

I'm sure the results could be faster without letting FO's use that qualifier, but there are plenty of B's who exercise that function.

I've never used the avoid emp#_______. I need to get more salty.

Yeah...no. It's a computer algorithm running a combination of 300 trips for 100 pilots, and doing that about 70 times for various categories. The complete combinations possible that need to be run to satisfy all criteria can be done in on the processor of a modern laptop in just several seconds.

That bogus excuse won't hold water.

Great, you have ideas! ALPA and the Company could really use your help.

Email the PBS Committee Chairman [email protected] to volunteer and help fix the problem, I'm sure he'd appreciate your expertise.

FWIW the B's are out using the patented Buzzpat Backdoor method:

1. Pull up the A report for your category
2. Replace A with B in the url string, hit ENTER
3. Bask in the afterglow with a Jamba Juice while listening to Hootie & the Blowfish :D

For the 717 pilots you can expect west coast flying this summer. 2 flights to get to LAX and then up and down the coast. Also possible LGA - BOS shuttle service.

Interesting. Does this play into the SEA expansion? Replacement of CZ on the LA/SFO shuttle?
