Scoop,
I am on my third trip bought off in as many months. Here is how you can tell if it is being bought. On icrew go in and look at your schedule if you see an " L " next to the flight number it is going to be used for training. You usually will see it a couple weeks out but I have had some last minute stuff in the past where part of the trip was bought. I will say thank you to DALPA for getting rid of the recovery obligation I have done GS flying over 2 of 3 trips and a WS over the other. Thanks - that is what I thought. Scoop :) |

If the L next to the flight number is for a augmented flight to Europe and the note says "TO RECV 7ER TRNS FO TOE"
is the individual pilot qualified during TOE or does the original crew have to stay on the trip? If the CA goes on break is the student considered qualified to stay? |

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 Scoop, Just to add a little to what the others have said. A few to several days out, the "L" will show up by the flight numbers on the rotation. Usually on all of the flight numbers but not always. Check down in the notes on the rotation and it will say something like "LCA Smith to give initial OE to FO Jones on flights blah, blah blah" But remember it's not official until scheds officially releases you the night before. My experience is that it's been getting later in the night. Now a days around 1930. Also, that it's not a guarantee you'll be released if an IROP is going on. During the latter part of snowmageddon II they wouldn't release me. Said that they weren't releasing anyone due to the weather (basically if one of the guys can't make it in). So I came in, the LCA released me and that was that. Then most important, make sure you've got the GS in and ready to go. My record to date for pay vs. hours worked is 33 hours pay for a 1 leg-1 leg SAV layover. Cha-Ching!:D |

If I bid a 4 day domestic carry out trip the last day is dropped at least ⅓ of the time. No penalty to the company and no pay protection. Not sure why you would state that is BS. In fact there have been numerous posts by pilots on here about carry out trips getting shortened and losing layovers they wanted. I guess that's all BS also.

Ok, Guys (and girls).
The system does work, I got the days off that I needed to attend her graduation. A couple lesson Learned, 1, (probably my fault) when you put your OE off day requests in I crew, they are only valid for the month you put them in. So if you put them in for say 16 June but you do it in the May window, which it allowed me to I guess, you must also put that request into the June Month when that window opens up. The Scheduler only looks at the current month and it drops out when the next Month starts. IE my May request for xx Jun dropped out when Jun started. 2, The Chief Line Check Pilot is the go to guy on this, the OE scheduler works for the CLCP, not the Fleet Captain. I got the day off and they gave me a PD for it, which is fine as I was not trying to get paid for a trip that I couldn't fly anyways. Bottom line, watch that OE scheduler like a hawk, be proactive, and then when it all goes to shxt anyways, the CLPC is the go to reasonable guy. And yes I will be critiquing the whole thing, so maybe someone will finally listen and change the process or the individual involved in the process. |
