The ALV for each fleet is posted on the flight ops pilot resources and scheduling page. Look in the left column down near the bottom.

They are all there and are posted prior to the bid window opening.

I bid down to reserve to get all weekends off because its been kind of good life on the 88 being reserve during the week. Till now. I work every Saturday and they have nobody on Saturdays, you will fly and even during the week I've been used every day I've been on reserve. Every day. I look at others schedule and see similiar things, some raw scores in the 90s and low 100s now.

Maybe its because all of the junior guys are on vacations in Sep-Nov time frame?

I had a CVG 73 B guy come up front to make room for nonrevs on his double deadhead JFK-ATL-CVG. He said scheduling told him to call when he gets to CVG because they might have something for him but the next day was an X day. He said he's flying a lot.
...
I missed the memo on the MD88s being reconfigured to 150 seats, what are we doing with our bags?

...
As to the economy, here is a technical report that exemplifies to me the mix bag that is this economy and the "recovery" or to some the new status quo: http://www.realclearmarkets.com/blog...tober92009.pdf One of their predictions in the all important unemployment number will be 10.5 by next summer and then gradually decreasing. Well after SOC.

The unfortunate thing is in MOST instances when I see a news article saying that the recovery is on it is from a source that needs a recovery politically and not as credible. To me KC10 in my life personally is a lot of undermployment. A lot. I think I saw a number of around 20% for unemployed, underemployed or those who have quit looking.

I guess it all depends on your X Days because I have flown two trips in three months! No joke.....two trips in three months. I hardly ever fly, but yet talk to other guys in my category and in the same base and it seems like they fly all the time.

There has been a lot of talk about it.

Basically take the closet out, take out the aft galley and you got more seats. Same with the 90. You get to fight for storage with the FA's.

Hmmm...glad I'm always the last to know. Unless the F/A's plan on stowing their bags in the cockpit, there won't be any issues. :)

I think jughead it's our closet that will be removed. The galley will go to where our closet is and another row of first added to where the galley is.

But I'm glad to know I didn't miss a memo... I heard it for the first time the other day.

Somehow I need to make this my new screen name:

my.activation.php3 - client data is invalid ! (2)
checkToken() failed - wrong signature

No kidding, take three or four times to long in. I have found out that if you just hit refresh it seems to work.
Alos, I am getting kicked out of both the DALnet and I(e) crew a lot. It just signs out.
Called IT and they state that they are "working" on it.
