Maybe. It remains mysterious to me. The denial reason was "Capped Reserve Days."

Holiday period is 2 days before and 1 day after Christmas. I would call 800-USA-ALPA tomorrow and talk to one of the scheduling guys. The company needs to be held accountable on crap like this scheduler not being able to explain why your swap didn't go through.

I tried to drop/swap a stupid 1 day on the 27th for a 2 day on the 26th, but no-can-do! Same reason, reserves.......

Guess I'll just have to fly it and GS one of the 1000 trips in open time over the new year!

called scheduling and they don't know. Sunday no one else is open. Anyone here know?. Years ago I put in to be notified of schedule changes in Icrew by text and phone call for the auto system. I get a text and a call, which I can confirm by texting back. I was telling another pilot about it and he couldn't find it. I just checked and its now called CNO system and is on deltanet not Icrew. but its blocked and says administration only/scheduling only. scheduling has no clue. Anyone know about this?

I was wondering about the auto-notification system as well. I've got emails and phone numbers listed for schedule changes and reserve notifications. I don't think I've ever gotten a notification sent my way via email, phone call or text when my schedule changed or when I was put on a trip or short-call while on reserve. I've always had to check iCrew.

Are you on a trip right now, as in on rest? I get notifications of schedule changes on my phone (robo-call) when I'm NOT on a trip, like at home. If I get swaps/WS/drops approved and I'm on a trip, the only way to find out seems to be to check the schedule in iCrew. Maybe it's programmed not to call you if there's a possibility it would bust your rest.

Not a newhire, just transitioning. I need 4 legs and 3 landings total so I imagine that won't be hard to get on my schedule.

The setup in PBI is easier in and out and is just less hassle than FLL or MIA, especially during cruise days. In either case you need to see the station manager to get set up. Just ask one of the agents.

I wouldn't bother with MIA unless you are in a serious jam. From Wellington, that's an easy 90-120 minutes with no traffic to MIA...and there is always traffic. Also, going east-west in PBC is a pain, especially during rush hour. Plan extra time.

By that same token, I-95 traffic is like Death Race 2000, except during rush hour, when it's completely stopped. I've seen it take 2 hours plus to get from PBI to FLL. Recommend the Turnpike from Wellington to FLL as the primary.

It might have changed but I thought it was reasonable price.

Getting from PBI to ATL was 90% on the jumpseat. The first and last flight of the day from ATL to PBI was almost always a real seat in the back. The afternoon flights required a jumpseat.

Maby you could train the horses to list you for the jumpseat at 12:00

BFS

Nu, BFS--great gouge, thank you very much!

Nu: So, FLL parking--do I just park in the normal lot then submit for reimbursement? Or, is there a parking office I need to talk to, such as what BFS described for PBI?

Thanks again...!
