Another weekly flight ops update and no mention of the AE. They typically mention it ahead of release correct?

Apparently some staffing and training decisions are going to be made later this week. At this point it's rather opaque.

Funny. Maybe now that the TA didn't pass they will need more pilots then they thought, that's a great thing!

However not correct.

How does the 12-month category freeze work with AEs? Do we have to be off our freeze by the time the AE is posted, or after the projected conversion date?

I wonder if the trips will be built as 2 leg 3 days worth about 11 hours with the 24 hour layover and red eye home? I hear those aren't too desirable from a pay stand point...

Also, I am guessing the loads will have to be regulated. I am not sure how a fully loaded -900ER will take off out of Kahului/Maui with a 6995' runway and fly for 5.5 hours to the west coast with step climbs along the way. I guess we will start with HNL and go from there.

Back in the "old corps" I think the Maui 1011's one stopped HNL for fuel and SLF.

The earliest conversion date on the AE needs to be after the freeze expires.

If an AE is posted 8/1 closes 8/11 earliest conversion is 9/1. Your freeze ends 8/27. You can bid and be awarded an AE

Tablet question.... Turned it on this evening after using it this morn and the SCL big "link" to select it (under the Jeppesen Flight Deck) is GONE! No idea where it went! Called the hotline, on hold for 20 minutes and then forced to leave a message. Trip tomorrow afternoon. Thoughts???

If it's available on the small icon menu you can make it a big icon on the main page. Just ask at briefing.

There's an iCrew pop-up about it. See if that helps!
