Well, that's my point. They offer the buyout, and guys on other equipment take it, and get asked to 'stick around' because they are LCA's or they are just short of captains in that category. OR the 747's 'stick around' longer than planned. How many times did that happen with the DC9? It does affect everyone because they didn't staff for that position with a non-buyout pilot, at least until they guy leaves. I'm just saying, if there's a buyout, then there needs to be a 'drop dead' date after which you're out the door. There are people who took the last buyout who are still here, flying trips.

Backdoor B's are out.
WS question for end of month: my NOTIONAL BACKDOOR sched has a trip in early May. If I put in a WS for a carryout trip in Apr right now, it WILL conflict with the May trip--which is good; I can select "yes even if it conflicts with next month", and I should get the Apr trip and it should auto DROP the May trip right?
Question-- since scheds haven't been loaded into DBMS as "firm", is there a risk they will re-run May after I do this and I'll just get assigned a different trip? Or are these backdoor scheds essentially done, and this move will result in me dumping first trip in May?
Thx

Man, another step backwards in hotels. The Chicago downtown layover went from a Hilton to Holiday Inn with a far inferior location. ugh.

Looking for advice.
I know someone with a gambling problem. Year after year they continue betting and every year they lose enormous amounts of money.
We've tried talking to them but they just keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect different results.
They seem unable to control the problem themselves. Its starting to effect the family and everyone else around them. I think we might have to stage an intervention to get them to stop.
I'm at my wits end. I don't know how to help them.
If it was poker or blackjack or horse racing we might be able to get them some counseling. But what do you do about someone addicted to hedging in the oil futures market?
