No, stay on the NB fleets. Every time I fly to BRU, MUC, FRA, NRT, etc., I drink a toast to the FOs senior to me on the MD. Senior NB FOs please stay right where you are on the top of your airplane. It gives us junior guys a shot at the 7ER, 330 and 765.

Wow and you sound like one who would pull the ladder up after you. :rolleyes: Relax slick, I'm just happy to be here. But I have paid some "serious" dues as well, maybe not here, but paid nonetheless.

My understanding is that if it is your first day of reserve they can give you short call starting at 10:00 am at any time. You then can call them and tell them you will be uncontactable for the first 2 hours of short call making 12:00 the earliest you will have something given to you. They have given me short call every first reserve day back at 10:00. I just call them and say I am commuting in and they give me the 2 hour uncontactable and make a note on my schedule. This only works on day one of reserve.

What if your short call starts at 1700. There are flights to commute in to Atl that arrive at 1530, 1630, 1730, 1830, 1930. Which flight do u commute to Atl on?

Probably not the 1930 or 1830... or 1730, but that's just me.

FTB, you don't count cause.
1. You root for auburn and cam newton
2. You live in Atl.

Its a seniority system. I greatly look forward to taking advantage of it someday and therefore don't begrudge others doing so now.

Venting is always good

Yeah, sometimes venting is good. One more bit, 7 WS today that should have been GS!! All done. :D

True... so long as it's on your schedule by 3PM the previous day--just like a trip assignment.

If you check your schedule at 3:01P (base time) and there's nothing on your schedule, 12:00 is the earliest possible assignment (trip or start of SC).

The contractual minimum would be not later than the 1830 arrival. With a SC start time of 1700, when you call and say "uncontactable," you're saying "I'll be in position ready to report at 1900."
