As of 1400 today, 6 trips covered for NYC717B. 2 out of base GS and 4 GSWC (1 guy is on his 2nd GSWC and its only the 6th)! Some trips got canceled/moved to another base (I got the call for the IA, but the trips are gone now). Yet in the last class drop, ALL 14 717s went to ATL. I know ATL has issues as well, but the last AE has 10 guys/gals moving from NYC to ATL. It's a good thing there are only 3 certified sims for the 717 in the entire US!

Speaking of cheerleaders, the NCAA national cheerleading competition is starting today in DAB right next to our layover hotel.
That is all I have to say about that.

That explains all the cheerleader teams I saw arriving this morning in MCO. They looked like high school aged kids though, but it may just be my old man eyes!

GS on reserve question, friends:
X day on the 8th, RSV on the 9th
2 day Out of base GS 8-9th.
Can someone please help me understand how I will be paid for this? I already have my Payback day on the 10th.
Thanks!

You will get the block for day 1 (8th) above reserve guarantee and any credit and block will be paid towards guarantee on the 9th. If there is a lot of trip credit it's not that good of deal.
this was exactly me. My gamble lost, but ultimately I should be able to get there soon. In the past year or so the fastest way to get to SLC was the 737. Now it's the 320. I had my choice in indoc btw the two and I picked the 737 since historically it was getting there faster and there was more movement. Also with the caveat of if I couldnt get to SLC right away I could get somewhere west while I waited. On the last AE I got to move west, but had I picked the 320 I'd already be in SLC. So I guess ultimately the old saying "bid what you want and want what you bid" holds true. Either will get there in under a year so I don't think there is really a wrong answer.

A lot of effort and work for not much extra pay. But I'm sure mgmt appreciated it.
