Nevermind…found it in the SHB. Will add back time to sick bank with caveats.

It only adds back to the sick time bank if you pick up a WS on days of the trip that you sicked out on. If you pick up a WS a couple weeks after the sick call, it is just paid like a normal WS.

I know we just had one close recently, but does anyone know when the next AE is planned. I figure they won't post another one this year but just curious if anyone has heard of an approximate timeline for the next one.

Thanks

January, as per crew resources news letter

Thank you.

Good to know…thx!

PBI help, please...?
 

Looks like I'll be a temporary commuter from S. Florida for a couple of months, as my wife takes her horse (and, only incidentally, her husband) down to Wellington for the winter season. I'm in ATL, brand new to the 320B category.

PBI will be my easiest drive by far (~15 minutes), but FLL & MIA are in striking distance if the need arises. I've heard bad things about FLL for commuting, but nothing one way or another about PBI or MIA. Looking at schedule alone, PBI looks pretty good: 11 mainline flights per day, with a couple of SWA flights for good measure. Of course, that may not be the whole story, so, on to my questions...:

1. What am I in for, jumpseating PBI - ATL & back? Tips/tricks I need to know? Lots of commuters? Sitting on the JS doesn't bother me; not getting on the flight at all does!
   
2. Parking? Do we have a FA base there? If so, how do I get a parking pass? If not, should I expect to need FLL often enough to be worth pursuing a parking pass there? (My commuting airport is not a base; I have to pay for my own parking, so my parking privileges are "unused," if I find myself at a FA base.)
   
3. If I'm on my own for parking at PBI--options/suggestions?

Thanks for any help/ideas/advice. Cheers!

Shadow bidding
 

Hey guys, I begin initial training for a different category this month that spills over into January. I have 1/2 the month of January with the shadow period.

Any suggestions/strategies on how to bid? Much appreciated.

Get rid of the horse! :)

At least she is taking you. My wife is going to Fla for Jan/Feb with two of her horses and leaving me in VA to take care of 5 horses, 5 dogs and a cat.
