Good luck and have fun on your 2 day!
No, it's not. The computer checks to make sure you're FAR 117 legal and that's it, as Sputnik said in a previous post GS and reserve assignments are manually accomplished. Scheduling regularly makes significant errors, almost always in the company's favor. You need to be on top of what the contract says to make sure they are not stealing your pay or hard won QOL benefits. When I first got hired I asked a LOT of questions here; made some regulars angry, but I learned a lot about what is legal and what is not. I have the scheduling reference handbook and PWA on "speed dial" and look at them all the time, and when in doubt I call ALPA who has been very good about answering my more specific contract related questions.

Said like a guy in a 169% manned category . Almost impossible to drop a trip on the 717. I tried to use my remaining 9 PB days from last year in March -- tried to drop my entire schedule. At the end of the 0700 20 Feb PCS run I had... my entire schedule and 9 PB days from last year. Nice to be in a short manned category for the premium pay and ability to get PB days, but except on rare onsie twosie occasions, impossible to spend the PB days other than supp vacation.

Any other way into the system except via FltOps' page?

Guys,

Probably nothing wrong with posting a CPO name................but:

When someone posts something negative about an individual and leaves it anonymous, and then someone innocently responds to the original post with a name, now we have a problem.

Please use the PM functions for these types of issues.

Thanks Scoop

The individual's court proceedings are a matter of public record...not something he can hide from...

Can one of you clue me in as to whom you are talking about, via PM?

Thanks.
