Guys,
I have a flight with a LCA this month. Originally I was going to use PB Days to drop it with pay, but then I thought I might get lucky and be bumped for an IOE.
Its kind of moot now - reserve coverage went negative for those days and so I used my PB days to drop a different trip.
I am curious about there being any way to know ahead of time if an IOE is being planned or scheduled? I think I will get a call the night before the trip if I get bumped, but are there perhaps any telltale notes on the rotation that might be revealing?
Thanks Scoop

Where in the PWA does it say scheduling can " add any crap they want to your schedule any time they want" on a spill trip!
I can understand within the same days as you were scheduled to fly but why more days? I have a trip that ended at 1000 on July 3rd, why does the union think it's a good idea or even ok to add flying till 1pm on July 4th.
So if you want July 4 off why should you have to bid no flying 4 days prior to that day just so u don't get screwed because we gave up July as a 31 day month in the last contract.

I'd prefer a single bank system that offered more flexibility, provided the accrual rate was acceptable.
Yet for some reason, we collectively love a lot of extremely low value vacation days, a use it or lose it sick system that does a good job covering those who are sick but rewards abusers and punishes the honest and everything else unpaid.
I'd like to see significantly more value per vacation day and some sort of personal day pay or unused sick time rebate, etc. Doubt it'll ever happen though. We'll get a 6th week full of 3 hour days before we ever get anything resembling a reform of the current system.

New long layover in DTW. I liked the last one, big hotel with lots to do in it... which was good as you didn't really want to go outside much. Weird, I read all sorts of new hotels in the recent memos, but they were all for places I don't go overseas... they neglected to mention DTW.

The van driver 3 weeks ago pointed it out stating that we were gonna move there he suspected.
Exterior looked straight out of 1978. Several blocks away along the river. Not anywhere I'd be walking around much.

yep. someone will be along shortly telling you what a total security violation it is posting our layover hotel. As if anyone couldn't just stand at any airport curb for 15 min to identify what shuttle/bus took us to about 75% of our hotels. When the van driver in some foreign country, driving an unmarked beat-up van, wearing dreadlocks, sandals, and a wife-beater T-shirt, has to show us an actual ID before we jump in the van with him to go who knows where... THEN I will consider not laughing when someone seriously proposes this as a security risk.
You may not want to get all those PMs though.

.However, if a mod would like to censor the name, go ahead. Can't edit it now. No prompt for it.
