And now a Public Service Reminder:
If you are in your recurrent training window (Sept, Oct, Nov) go to PBS NOW and bid your sims for Sept! The bidding window opened yesterday and closes in a few days (31st?).
I always put "Avoid A and D periods", but some of you guys may like that stuff.

Yes ... and they're filling A & D periods when they used to try to avoid it. We are also using a lot of off site sims in coming months for new hires. I doubt we will see off site for recurrent, but anything is possible.

Yup. Relatively senior in category and my only bid was avoid A or D periods. Got 2 A periods anyway. Oh well.

No, I didn't so that was likely my problem. However, 4 years on the airplane in ATL and I have never had a A or D period before.
I vote for this. Work rules are huge. Its also a little easier for the company to swallow rather than have to sign on to huge hourly rate increases. Trip hour credit, duty period credit, time and a half over 80 hours and many other tools like this can up the check and give you more time at home. This job is all about maximumizing pay with minimum time away from home. We need to really focus on 117 effects on time away from home and get our work rules adjusted to compensate for the longer layovers. Personally, I would love to shoot the idiots that came up with the 117 crap. Probably desk flyers deciding what's best for the line flyer with no idea at all about the real deal!!!
