How do I leave a message that I don't require approval and to just award me the green slip in case I am flying or unavailable to answer the phone?

I flew with a guy who just called the schedulers before we got into the jet and told them, "I'll take whatever you give me while I'm flying." They were cool with it and he got the GS.

I nominate dalad as new negotiating committee chairman.

That's how you set an opening position.

July bid pack available via Navtech PBS Desktop App (at least my category, I don't know how or if it's possible to switch categories within the App). Discovered it accidentally when I downloaded the new version of the App.

That's the issue. With this grievance settlement, we've set the legal precedent that scope violations become a permanent reset by paying a little money. Having a voluntary Scope section hurts pilots the most depending on how many more years they have to work with no defensible Scope section. In my opinion, the payout should be based on a sliding scale with the highest payouts going to pilots with the greater number of years remaining.

Weird that it is available through the DA but the .pdf bid package is not available.

I think those of us who have retired recently should get some too. After all, we were flying while this violation was going on.

Also, since it was from April 1, 2011 to March 31, 2015, I'll bet there is a sliding scale as to how much each transoceanic pilot was affected. I doubt a pilot not even on the seniority list during that time will get anything.

it affects everyone, not just WB pilots. Think about how many NB pilots didn't get to go to a WB fleet because of this-or those of us that were displaced to a NB because of it

How much would an arbitrator have awarded us if it had gone to the System Board and we won?

Really if they wanted to make it fair the guys that were laid off would get the most then the guys that stagnated for years. The guys that were 777 capts for five extra years because of age 65 would get none
