Yes it is a treat. I do the same thing in LAX for 1 or 2 day green slips. The whole parking/bus process is a PITA. It is a joy to be at my car in the short term lot less than 5 minutes after walking off the Jet.

And sometimes that 30 minute head-start can add up to over an hour less battling traffic on "The 405." :D

Scoop :)

I ASSume you failed the question of "What if the captain showed up downstairs wearing a dress"

To be fair, I thought She was a He too.....oops.

Vacation Q
 

Due to lots of MLOA, I've never had more than one week of vacation. I have two for '16-'17.

I have 6 different weeks that I would prefer to have my vacation awarded.

For Primary Vacation do I list in order the weeks I'd like, 1-6? Then for Secondary Vacation do I re-list them again, hoping to get the next preference or maybe hopes of getting my first choice in the second round? Or do I choose different week preferences for my Secondary Vacation if I don't get any of the weeks I'd like in Primary?

Thanks, fellas.

The reason I find this funny is, I'm guilty of assuming in the other direction.... I take no satisfaction in having been right, merely a bit of relief in not sticking my foot in my mouth! :eek:

At least I did so based on the correct odds, though. Anyone who's spent any time around the equestrian crowd could tell you: it's FAR more slanted to the female demographic than the pilot field is slanted to the male.... :D

Is Vacation bidding open yet? I thought I read somewhere that it was.

Tried to bid and NO VAC WKS FOR CAT in 2016 pops up when I select "Display Vacation Weeks Available in Category"

Always order them in the order you prefer for each round as they do open up weeks in later vacation bids.
I have been awarded a vacation week in secondary vacation bids that I didn't get during the primary, not sure of the actual logic.

You can find weeks available on the page before you go to bid vacations. I always have trouble finding them too......

Display vacation start date selection numbers for initial vacation...

Very intuitive.. Right??

Don't park in normal parking. See the station manager...they'll fix you up.

Coming up on my first CQ on the 320. Just curious who flies the LOE. Some parts of the DIG say the FO, others say the CA. Not that it makes a huge difference. Just curious. Any other words of wisdom in preparing are appreciated.

Thanks.

My January schedule says "Affected by SLG". Anyone know what that means?
