Still looking ugly on the mad-dog and mini-dog in ATL today. Full page of open trips for today on each fleet and pages of open time for tomorrow!

yup.........got them "hoping for equipment substitution" greenslips in. :D

Hey Denny, I need to go back to the Denny Crane school of sitting reserve:D Had my greenslips in and never got called. I did get to sit 4 straight days of shortcall and never got used. Commuted in, sat in the crew lounge for 10 hours and commuted home. Saves lots of hotel $$$ but what a PITA:p

PS

Met "The Manager" on one of the commutes. Always great to meet and chat with an APC bubba.

They just covered a 717 to HOU (flt 1813) with a 757 - on a GS no less!!

Yeah baby!! That's what daddy's talk'en bout;):D

So here's a little tidbit that some may not know. If you're a reserve pilot, but doing a GS on your PB/XX days you are still obligated to check your schedule within 30 minutes of landing after your last leg. Glad I knew that rule since our ship's ACARS was out last night and my phone's voicemail went TU. I decided just to be safe and check my schedule and sure enough I had been RR'd into an overnight (glad I thought to bring a shaving kit since I was originally on a 1-day 2-leg GS). In addition, while regular pilots cannot be RR'd after their last leg into their home base, reserve pilots can -- even if you're on a GS on your XX/PB day! I always suspected that was the case but never experienced it 1st hand.

Well, as you know, to be as lazy as me...................you have to live in base!;) My days of getting green slips with any consistency are long over. Don't remember the last one I got, sometime last summer maybe?

I've seen several GS on the 73N lately with notes indicating they equipment subbed from the 717 because of lack of crews. :eek:

Good to see the $hit rolling uphill.

This is not our problem.
