Isn’t that what OB WS/GS is for. Ok, no reserve fishing either then. If no coverage, the trip stays in base and goes to the next coverage step.

The company would leap all over this change if we offered it.
You're only half way there. Agree that CS doesn't get to move trips around and determine who gets premium trips and who doesn't. But they also have to stop covering trips with OOB reserves. This helps ALL pilots. OOB Reserves won't get stuck flying OOB trips, in base line holders get more chances for premium trips, what's not to like?

This is some varsity level avoiding. I haven't checked, but I'd assume if you can't avoid a captain in CQ the same way you can bidding your monthly schedule then it cannot be done short of a phone call to your training department.

Be nice if we could avoid certain DGS instructors as well.

You can, but you can't bid avoid him. Section 11 C. 10.

There is an instructor on my current fleet who I will neither fly with nor suffer through his instruction in the simulator ever again under any circumstance.

Thanks, I'd never looked at that section of the contract.

I've never had a bad LCP on OE but I've flown with a couple gems when I wasn't bought out. I wonder how many pilots are ignorant of 11.c.11 as I was until 1 minute ago.

How does it work if you have Qualification Training in a month with vacation? I’m scheduled for the highly desirable February vacation and it looks like I may be going to my new plane then too.

I read the PWA but couldn’t find an answer.

The way I understand it:
When you filled out the AE form way back in May of 17, it asked if you were willing to move your vacation for training or not. If you said yes, then they will schedule your training and move your vacation, if no, they will schedule your training around your vacation, but not pay protect if someone junior to you is trained first.
Seems like forever since we filled out the AE forms back in May of 17.

Anyone smart on staffing:
Why is the Lax Jan ALV so low at 76, yet the entire month is black? reserves available is the worst I’ve seen it and it looks like we are going to get hosed. I may be missing something, but even summer has days in the blue
