I read 25 crews for SEA 73N and 25 crews for NYC 330 in the crew resources update attached to SD's weekly update this week.
Good luck, E |

Go into the flight ops page and sign up to receive the weekly updates in your email. There is a communications tab on the left side of the flight ops page. The latest update says it will be 25 CPT and 25 FO.

Quick question:
I don't normally bid reserve so I just want to verify this.... Once you reach a total credit over the monthly ALV, you are full for the month correct? I have a few weeks of vacation this month, so my time card makes it look like I still have some reserve obligation. 65 hrs of vacation credit plus 15:45 of trip credit brings me to 80:45 where the ALV is 80. Time card still shows 11:56 of reserve guarantee. It's not predicated on Reserve Guarantee is it? Also, do I need to call and request to be shown FULL, or will they do it automatically? Thanks! |

ALV + 15 is now the max (C2012) I believe.

I guess a better way to ask my question would be:
Is Vacation Pay and Credit? Can't find that in the contract. Thanks again. |

Again, you are full once your monthly credit is equal to, or exceeds YOUR reserve guarantee for the month. However, if you are even 1 minute under your guarantee they can assign you a trip not to exceed ALV+15. |

Yes it is. When your reserve guarantee shows zero, you are full. If it doesn't show FULL automatically, call sched. |
Thanks guys

I wanted to add this has been a great discussion on PD, APD, schedule swapping, and banking. I was able to drop a particularly troublesome single day of reserve this month, and got my schedule all cleaned up for next month just the way I wanted. Thanks!
EDIT: wish I knew the banking thing before, I flew over a couple X-days during OE and got PB days. The "problem" was the PB days were on reserve days I wasn't going to fly anyway because I was still in OE. Had I known then what I know now I would've banked those two suckers for some freebies later on. Oh well... EDIT 2: Is there a way I can check on my current ranking of a new category and see my progress towards getting in? I bid the 73N in SEA but other than the general "that will go way senior to you" comments I've already received, I really don't know where I stand.

As sailingfun mentioned, it does not reflect any restrictions a pilot may have placed on his/her bid like a low %, Reg Only, etc. You really have no idea how many of the senior bidders have realistic bids that might actually get awarded. Also, once you get beyond those who have it listed as their first choice, the info is useless without first knowing what the higher choices are for the pilot. As a purely hypothetical example, you have 2 pilots at the same seniority level of 50% of the seniority list and both have bid ATL 7ER B as their 2nd preference. One of the pilot's first bid is unrestricted for ATL M88 A, which is a realistic bid that he/she would likely get at their seniority level taking the 2nd preference out of play. The other pilot's first preference is ATL 777 A, which he/she is not likely to get and therefore that pilot's 2nd preference is the first one he/she would likely be awarded depending on any restrictions he/she placed on the bid. The final kicker is that every single pilot can change their bid right up until the bid closes so everything you were looking at could be altered. At the end of the day, you are far better served by not wasting any of your time worrying about what someone else might have bid or what someone else might get awarded and only focus on what you want and what you are willing to accept (think restrictions). Once you reflect on that and determine what you truly want, then bid exactly that. If you don't get awarded something it will only be because you didn't want it, you couldn't hold it, you couldn't hold it with the restrictions you needed to be happy with the award or it simply wasn't available. Whether or not Joe Schmuckatelly is going to get it is irrelevant. I recognize we are often trying plan out things like moves, etc and this adds a level of desire to try to read the tea leaves so we can plan those life events. Unfortunately, there is not a decent way to do that currently. |
