To the OP, try entering it in DEC SWP, and if that doesn't take, try JAN SWP. Make sure you put both trips on the same line too. That's all I know to try.

Thanks guys. I got it to accept the request. What I did is put it in the JAN bid period but then make sure the first ADD trip was from the JAN bid period followed by the December period

I'm on a three day GS as a reserve. I'm going to have a domicile layover tonight. Typically reserves are off of the trip following a domicile layover. Am I still removed from the trip even when on a GS? If they want me to fly tomorrow, but I don't want to fly, do I have to do so after a domicile layover on reserve while on a GS? Thanks.

Lots of questions today. Here is one more. If I am full for the month on reserve what is the earliest I can be assigned something on the first? Is it the same as if I had an x day on the 31st?

They're talking about carbon offsets on deltanet? Really? Come on.

Just imagine the income potential of a warmer Canada and Russia. And Sweden. Imagine Sweden with Miami beaches.

Hell yes. Screw planting trees. We don't have a place to plant them because they're already too many. Like in my backyard. Besides. I'm not freaking out about global climate warming changes, I'm more concerned about the fact that we've had less sun every day for months now. Right now there's a little pause in the loss of sun since last week, but I don't think that pause will continue. By my calculations we'll be out of sun by summer. We're screwed without the sun. Just saying.

I didn't come up with that.

New guy question, I've looked at the travelnet guides and rules and can't find an answer. I know if my parents are traveling with me and I'm on an S3 pass, I can have them upgraded to S3 at the airport. However, can they do that if they are traveling with my wife and kids? No clear answer, but it is implied that you can only do this if the employee is present.

Anybody tried this?

Lets be fair here. Did ANYONE think oil/fuel prices would drop this low????? Look at it this way, we'll lose a billion or so in hedges but gain several billion in savings on the spot fuel prices we're paying now. Sounds like cheap insurance to me. Kinda what hedging is all about I'd say. J Graham said for every penny fuel prices change, its a 40 million difference. I think we're paying about $1.30 less a gallon than last November, which equates to about 5 billion less annually! And it has nothing to do with sick leave abuse(but you already knew that)
Does everything have to be so negative and confrontational? And no, I'm not a company shill, just tired of the same old rhetoric. Think I'll leave again
