Can anyone recommend a place to play golf on a PBI layover? Preferably a place that has loner clubs since I'm not lugging mine all over the place.

Thanks.

You need to use "Checkout between 0500 and 2130" or two separate lines,
Checkout > 0500
Checkout < 2130

Of course as soon as we allowed them the loophole of not paying 5:15 adg for days that end before 0200 or whatever, they reprogrammed the flights to get in at 0008. A non-commutable trip end for me might as well be 1 more day of pay, as I CAN find trips that pay for their days that end at 0900 or so, as early as I'll catch a flight home anyways.

Are you both consolidated?

I put in for YSs when I was new on reserve (and thought I was getting them because I flew nearly every reserve block), but when I looked at the Pilot Activity Statements (I think) for the time period, they were not YS awards after all.

I think the schedulers push newbs to get consolidated ASAP.

Maybe you're consolidated and he's not? Did he actually get a YS?

Short answer: REDUCED MANNING!!!

Longer answer: Pilot Greed, guys desiring to score flying out of a base they are not willing to bid, results absolutely without question in reduced manning requirements.

Summary: Anyone who desires to be able to fly out of base swaps/pickups/slips is a greedy SOB who puts their wallet above the seniority list and manning levels of the pilot group. And should be beaten about the head and shoulders with a herring if not worse.

Neither of us is consolidated. Same indoc class, 1st month on the line, both reserve. BTW, not sure if the played in. I just got called and put on 30 hours rest. The rest was not mandatory yet and I could've flown the trip in question legally without it, but they'd have had to put me on rest immediately after.

I believe I answered that a few days ago, can't recall if it was you or someone else who asked, but with every 'new' category, that stuff is complete garbage, until they get -everyone- trained and converted.

And...as soon as you think you have it figured out...

Network will change it!

If your RAW score is the same (most likely), compare your days of availability - they are supposed to use a matching day before they move to the next day group (ie. 2-day trip to a 2-day guy, before they move to someone with, say 5 days still left on call). That might 'splain it.

That is plain out of line...


Much more to life and choices and circumstance to judge others so harshly without knowing any facts. I am Not willing to allow out of base pickups mind you but, at some times using the laws of the system to benefit is a perk of collective bargaining. When we all agree on a secret handshake about protecting jobs with work action, and some barking sphincter takes the monetary advantage you then may have a point. For now, you are out of line...

Hmm, now that you bring it up I think you did mention this earlier. Thanks again, slow learner here. I did the math and came up with 23 lines plus a few slop since I assumed min credit per day and no vacation and was significantly closer than the bid package. Sorry to be right . I just missed getting a line, but looking at the last line in the category I might have done better anyway. I'll have more days off than him but since I'm commuting to reserve I'd definitely prefer flying to hanging out in the pad.

hear hear
can you explain why, i dont believe you
