I just think I'm in an odd area since this kind of manning situation hasn't really happened here before (although you can definitely tell that something has been done, much less open time this month than the last 3-4). The schedulers are mostly new and probably don't know the contract very well. I probably confused the matter with C. in ALPA scheduling when I kept calling it a GSWC when my intent was better represented by IAWC.

Hey, I know what I mean. I'm just not very good at conveying my intentions into the proper vocabulary.:D

Is there anywhere I can go to see my previous training (sim, specifically) schedule or record? Going back 2 years at the most.

Sorry to revisit this. First time dealing with a possible "pulled for oe" situation. My rotation has "L" next to a few legs and a note that the captain is doing differences training on a different first officer. Do the L's mean I will not be operating those legs? If so, am I excused from that day and can deviate to get myself into position? (This is day one and I commute)

You will get a call from scheduling the night prior to your rotation. Depending on what training is being given you will most likely be taken off any legs with the "L" beside them.

If you do not receive a call by 2000 the night prior I would call schedule and inquire about it.

Thanks Scoop

Not sure I agree with you. Imagine only two remaining available pilots.

Pilot A on reserve this month regular line next month requests GSWC premium flying.

Pilot B (reg or res) in this month & regular line next month does not request premium flying (imagine important family event)

In this situation would either get an IAWC Inverse Assignment with Conflict? If so shouldn't it go to the volunteer first.

This is a very rare event, the unicorn of trip coverage.

Any know the latest Lga parking sitrep? Are we still parking at the top of the garage?

Thanks in advance...!

Yes we are until July sometime.

Nope....simply read the PWA (big, long and boring therefore a lot to ask, I know). Herkflyr is kind of right, but for the wrong reason.

In your scenario, Pilot A is asking for something that does not exist under our PWA - a GSWC on reserve. You need to look at 23.N.25 (trip coverage greater than 12 hours) and 23.O.21. (trip coverage less than 12 hours). In each case, a reserve pilot on X days gets an IAWC before a line holder gets a GSWC. Ergo, it would be superfluous for a reserve pilot to submit a GSWC on a transition trip where that pilot alao holds a regular line in the next bid because he/she would have to be be awarded the trip on an IAWC before a regular line pilot received a GSWC.

I still don't agree. A reserve pilot can be on two different type of X days. One is an asterisk reserve X day making him ineligible for a IAWC.
