I'm pretty sure all changes affecting spillover trips are on hold until next month's bids are finished processing.

Good advice. Usually they stay about 2 weeks ahead on IOE trips, but last minute simulator problems, pilot troubles in simulator, or original LCA calls in sick are all reasons IOE shows up on your trip at the last minute. I have swapped out of a trips because no IOE was on it, and then the day prior when I rechecked it they had put training in it ...On the flip side, I have kept trips with no IOE on it, and when I signed in they had put training on the trip. Good luck.

Read the document put out by the company called known issues. Your surface actually downloads it and stores it for you.

You never know about OE trips for sure until you are released or check in. Once I was deadheading from DTW to NRT to give a Line Check the next day to SIN. I was sitting next to another DH pilot. Half way to NRT, he told me he was a reserve called out to cover the trip I was suppose to give the line check on as the CA had called in sick. Ended up deadheading back to DTW the next day.

I thought that for this month, talked to a scheduler, re-read the bulletin and ended up doing a pd followed by a whiteslip.

The reality of the new swap language is that it doesn't do what you're trying to do. Although, I thought that's what it was supposed to do too.

Man. All the Detroit ER FO's must be full for the month because there is a sweet GRU trip available for pick up on the swap board. It's been there for a week and no ones picked it up yet. I would but I can't drop the trip I'm currently flying because of capped reserve days.

I think the OE planner hates me.

I always fly the one trip that didn't have an OE on it. The LCA's always tell me it's the only trip they have that didn't get an OE.

I once used my APD to drop a 4 day trip, the next day it had an OE on it......

Like he said, never look back.

It is also on the open board but as a Q trip. Tried to get it last week.

I am trying to do a PD though? Do you remember what bulletin that was?

If it's a straight pick up then yes it always appears in open time if you select actual and qualified. If you just select actual then you don't see these types of trips.
