Flying out of Detroit to the West Coast?

Through intermediate stations such as MCI/SLC etc.

Hear, hear!

What is your source?

Another new guy question. Is it normal for a bid package to completely miss when estimating the number of lines? NYC 717 predicted 39 lines but there were only 26. Seems like a pretty big discontinuity, should I just disregard the prediction in the future or is this some sort of anomaly? Thanks.

When I was in indoc one of the high level network guys came to speak to us and he told the story of when the company found out one of the network underlings was posting internal data and plans on airliners.net. He said "we were not happy."

Sometimes when I occasionally check airliners.net because you can find some stuff you know isn't supposed to be out there. But in this case I think it's just someone perusing our schedules.

When it came to the back and forth about Alaska and Juno and the RNP approach, there was someone from the 4th floor spilling the beans on the effort on another website. Fun to read.

Thanks. Got an iPhone myself. Having trouble finding an app that works

What are the pros/cons of allowing out of base swap board pick ups. Pilots in base should have 1st rights to the trip but if a trip sits on the swap board for a long time and eventually doesn't get picked up by anyone, what is the harm of an out of base pilot flying the trip? Out of base white slips usually end up flying trips that reserve pilots don't want and an out of base swap board would allow a pilot to drop a trip that he would otherwise get stuck flying. Seems like a win win but I realize that there are probably some negative consequences that I'm overlooking.

Thanks FTB. Interesting stuff. Hopefully we follow through with that plan this time. It would be fun to see different parts of the US of A!

Is there any seniority consideration when awarding YS to fly when on reserve? A friend and I are separated by 1 number with a similar YS to fly on reserve submitted. He got called for a trip while I did not and he is the junior of the two of us. He has already flown a couple trips on reserve (combined 4 days) and I've only had 1 1-day. Just curious if I should've been assigned that trip or is it completely random.

Thanks.
