I think that has something to do with the pre-vertness of the Seattle and New York crews versus the pre-verted nature of the operation in LAX. Really Atlanta offers the best pre-vertedness of any base except on the 717.

On reserve, can you yellow slip a Qualified open trip? Or is that like trying to triple stamp a double stamp?

I was describing what a friend of mine had to go through when he saw that he was passed over for a GS. After two days of being put on long holds by scheduling, and being told they'd call him back (they didn't), he finally got an answer that informed him he wasn't getting anything because someone senior to him had a GS in as well. Which seems like an answer they can give to anyone who's outside the top 15 in category.
No, doesn't sound like a job for a ALPA rep....maybe someone on the staff who doesn't fly and has an ALPA retirement, but more likely you just have to live with it.

No you cannot. By default any Q trip is removed from open time 48 hours prior to report if no one has taken it. Since reserve coverage is only for same or next day, that means reserves couldn't ever do that.

I'm sure someone will be along shortly with the definitive answer, but it wouldn't make sense. The reason it's qualified in the first place was because they didn't have enough reserve coverage for at least one of the days, so the pilot couldn't drop it into open time. Letting a reserve pilot pick it up would do exactly the same thing as letting the original pilot drop it - reduce net reserves available.

I know several people have answered it, but what isn't being explained well is that a Qualified trip is actually still on another pilot's line. That pilot has a Personal Drop in the system for that trip, but there isn't enough reserve coverage for him to drop it. So, it's not actually in open time. As a reserve, just look at Actual trips to see what really in open time.

Would be nice of Delta expanded some international/wide body flying as well.
On a related note does anybody know the latest on the JV scope non compliance/scope violation?

Out of base GS given out today at 3:09 for the late London. Looks highly irregular and based on the months awards I find it hard to believe no NY 7era had a in base request in. If you did have a GS in and were legal for the trip call Skeds and claim your free 16 hours pay.

You don't have to live with it at all. DALPA has two excellent people on staff who research these issues. They are busy and it can take a few days but they do a outstanding job. The company has granted them the same level of access that a crew scheduler has in the computer system. They can research every step taken and determine if you or another pilot should have been paid and insure that has happened. 1 800 USA ALPA and ask for contract admin.
Your second take on it is a better one, IMHO.
