You are not necessarily stuck. As the other fellas already noted, One way to change your schedule is "move X Days" but that does' change the number of Reserve days you have, it just moves them.

It sounds like you talked to scheduling about it, but the other way I didn't see discussed is Personal Drop (P/D) via PCS. That's the only way to get rid of/drop a Reserve day, but the "4-99-4" rules already discussed don't apply to a P/D. For example, you can drop the middle day of a 3-day period, and create two single days of Reserve. BUT, There has to be excess reserve on the day in question - Look in Open Time in iCrew for "Pilot Reserve Levels". If there is not a surplus in blue, you can't P/D the day (APD is different). Also, you will lose approx 1/17th of your month's pay...

Amen. It's bad enough to sit there for hours on end listening to some over 55 year old(and the list is 48% of them) muse about the end of their career and the economy and the politicians and ALPA and retirement and -all while you're trying to read your manuals on your surface to ignore them. Then go into a restaurant and add alcohol to this same person and you get them trying to shoot their watch showing what they did during Vietnam as an A- something fighter pilot in her majesty's yacht club, or they think they can land any tail in the bar including the bartender chick who is showing some love for an extra tip. It's actually pretty comical.

I'm guessing you've never been to the LGA lounge if you think ATL is ghetto.

Hey if it is you and not me I don't get offended. I always offer to buy a couple of beers, if the F/O is interested (just "paying it forward" after a long time in the right seat).

I get it if you want to zone out. I just can't contemplate spending all my time in a hotel room after spending all day in a small cockpit. In fact I only bring a laptop on the road these days because of some obligations I have to a boy scout troop. Prior to that I never brought my laptop either--too much great stuff to see in most layover cities.

So....saw the JFK lounge. *** is up with ATL? I mean I know the ATL pilot lounge is ghetto compared to, well, your average ghetto. I just thought that was Delta standard. And free (far as I can tell) coffee. Hell, it has coffee.
