Denny,

Is it a coverage award? Awards for coverage only look at very limited bid preferences.

I'm only, at most, a two beer guy but I can eat a Bison better than an Indian who's been on the trail for many moons.

This is one area where I completely agree with you.

It probably is but I was only unstacked on one reserve day (August 31) and my category qualified for the extra X day. A guy junior to me wa not and got one of the trips. I'm confused and will await the replies to the inquires I've sent out. Like I said before, I'm never right about these things, I just want this one explained to me. I'll shut up about this now.

You are shooting way too low. It should be GS pay until back on original rotation. In over 20 years of airline flying, I have never been rerouted as much as I have since the merger. It reminds me of my pt135 on demand charter days. Every time you land, they have a new trip for you. I'll give them a break as far as last Friday or even the ice events, but when there is not a cloud within 2000 NM of Atlanta and another crew is running 20 minutes late and they reroute you that is total BS.

Every leg not on your original rotation should be paid on top of the rotation guarantee. Done. No exceptions for IROPS or anything. They can do whatever they want to us, but it will cost them extra money. Simple fix. Go into a day off, double pay for last 2 duty periods.

I am not sure what the advantage to a single MEC might be, but some might say it clouds the issue of "class and craft" should an express carrier seek a merger with a mainline carrier via a petition for Single Transportation System finding.
Wasn't Ransome put on the Pan Am list?

That was corrected in a subsequent email....
