Fitted tropo with eyelets and 1" tailored torso. I lift weights so I order an upsized shirt and taper the sides of the shirt, really fit guys would probably do better with the 2" taper but I like my beers. They fit really well and require nothing other than washing. Disadvantage is durability, but I feel like I earn enough to buy a couple new shirts every year. Worth it to not have to ever iron.

When DL accommodates a pax on an interline airline (AA was just restored after a break) I'm sure someone has written a "thank you delta" letter so what's the point?

I just looked at all the open time in SEA. I saw one trip at 39:45, a few at 39:51 and most at 40 or above. There are now some carryover trips but those have come back in the PCS process. There was no way to stay under 79:30. The only thing I can think of is you were looking at block time and not total credit.

Your correct, I must have looked at block time. Almost all look over 40 credit hours. Going to be expensive breaking a lot of those trips up!

Why yes, yes it is! They were trying to avoid credit time and now they're going to have credit time out the wazzu. Seems like somebody should have figured out what was going to happen with the designated ALV.

Or you know you could just look in PBS and see all the unblockable/unbuildable people which is the exact scenario.

Default Jury Duty

I have not had jury duty is a long time. It looks like I have to tell Delta ahead of time and they are going to build a schedule around my jury duty. Is there a way to maximize time off bidding reserve or line holder? Seems like the answer is no???

I just had Jury duty scheduled. There is not much you can do. The contract requires immediate notification to the company. They will block the day or days and pay you 5:15 per day. This time will count toward the line construction window in PBS. That part bit me when bidding.
If the jury duty is extended after the bids are awarded and it conflicts with the rotation the conflict will be dropped and paid.

Thanks. So bidding a trip or on call days following my one day of jury duty could work if i happen to get additional days of jury duty.

You take a hint very well!
