I don't know Drank, I may have been the victim of a tall tale, but once a captain on the 88 told me when he was called in for an immediate GS that the scheduler told him to park in short term parking at ATL and Delta reimbursed him.

True--I have heard about getting reimbursed for a short-notice GS as well.

I was referring to jug's question about parking in an FA base. Thanks for clarifying.

I've seen that in the rotation remarks as well.

Bidding question.

I'd like to swap a spillover trip that has 10 more hours in January than the trip I currently have.

The problem is that if I get it and they use the time of the new trip to factor legal lines for January, it will jack up my January bid.

What trip would they use to figure my legal line value; the one I had when bidding closed on the 12th or the trip I have when they do the actual run (which I would imagine would be sometime tomorrow or the next day).

Thanks in advance.

I actually had them pay for short term parking in atlanta for a short call callout on reserve. $65.

On greenslips I generally park in short term because I hate the bus system in atlanta. It's a treat to me.

Gotta love the deltanet headline celebrating Delta and it's employees for being awesome in some survey with a picture of a customer sitting in first class on an RJ where none of the people working that flight are employees.


Awesome troll job.

I haven't rode the bus in Atl, but that is a treat? Have you tried icecream, massage or morning sex (well I've been married for a while so just sex not on your birthday or anniversary)?

The way PBS works is, on the first day they spend the entire day taking checking who's got training and vacation in the next month, then they snapshot of your line, as it exists at that time.

THAT snapshot of your line Dec line is what is used for trip awards in Jan. That is also why all PCS (Swaps/drops/white slips) are frozen for a couple days until the bids are done.

If you then swap for a trip that conflicts with your Jan line, the conflicting trip in Jan will be dropped, not sure how quickly they will see the conflict and drop it, but you might be able to PCS something else to un-phuck yourself before they do.

Anyone else have their Jan schedule show up in Icrew Mobile this morning. (I'm DTW717B).

Seemed strange and early but they're trips I bid so I assume it's correct.
