Was worth a shot....the thing I was thinking about with x day movement was in reference to getting a Res G/s and all days fall on your on call days, You can move an x day to the first day.
Thanks.

I think the more appropriate question is why not DXB-DTW. DTW has a large Arabic population.

They come through A-dam where passport control is not so fussy.

I wish I had the answer in the crystal ball. My optimistic side says that with ALK not wanting to tie up into a closer relationship and their code shares with ME carriers RA has had his fill and is down with them. Of course he said when he came to Delta he wasn't here to merge the airline.

Like I said I am cautiously optimistic.

Just to pile on the happy-fest, this is the airline industry, after all, I heard a good one today about our regional partners at Chitty Taco... from a friend who talked with one of their CP's. They had a hiring pool last week with 20 scheduled to come interview. Four showed up. One tried to tell the HR lady what questions to ask, and the other three crashed the sim. I guess the talent downstream has really dried up...

You had one of those flights too? How coincidental. How was it?

As for mine, it was hard to tell whether there really were APC'ers on board, and since this is an anonymous forum after all, how would I know?

It was just a suspicion, call it a hunch.
We weren't full, no volunteers, but I heard Deadhead's name a bunch.

Girls fussed over the security of their under-cleavage.
RJ drivers ogled, but just underage.
It was not just sexual tension: Sierra Nevada hung in the air.
That, and perspiration.

Some of us forgot to bathe.

Someone tried to order a salad.
Someone had too much, asked for the bar.
One girl called another a timbo.

Elsewhere a wicked argument began:
"It's they're, not there, you moron"
"Your stupid, than", and it was on!
And so the shiznit hit the fan.
Another fight, in slow-motion.

I almost got into the brawl.

Overhead an eagle flew.
southwest.
I hate Southwest.
In the darkness, a kitten hissed.

...

Eerie. Just weird.

My real question is I have a P/B day on the books from a previous IA, Can I put that Payback day on my schedule on Day 3 of the trip? That would pay the best for me as it a 35 hour layover and then back flying into base day 3.
