Care to identify a poster above whom you think has issues to get over? Seems like fact-finding and experience-sharing to me. The question was about timing of our current policy and how it usually gets applied.

Well you're a delight.

Maybe you should get over the fact that people want to make this job better and just because you had to suffer, doesn't mean everyone else should. Or are you really such a petty, sad person?

The other FO recently back from furlough that rode along was sure thrilled to finally see new hires. I was unable to pay for a beer that trip.
Wasn’t a holdover from the FE days. We were getting released straight out in 00. Then we got it back but the “qualified” FO had to ride a long for the first 3 legs at which point the LCA would release.

Good thing, or the FO who got time off for my IOE would've been stuck the entire trip! Also goes to prove the new system is better, even with a dumbass operating from the right we still managed to safely convey passengers from multiple point A's to B in busy airspace and dog-doo wx without some hapless FO stuck in the JS! We're fortunate to have some really good LCAs.

Once in the express days we had observation new hire on js during Ioe so I was not only not released but had to ride in back for 2 days / 4 legs to get back to base.

If I list for an American flight via Myidlisting do I need to do anything else prior to just showing up at the gate? The last time I did this the gate agent said something like she did not show me listed for the flight even though I listed via the website. Do I need to check in via a kiosk prior to showing up at the gate?


Thanks Scoop

I sicked out of a trip in April.

In terms of block limitations that would affect my May bid, would the block time of the sicked out trip count towards block limitation for the trips in May? (100 hours in 28 days)

Thanks in advance.

No, the FAA only cares about what you actually did, not credit, not sick, not vacation etc....
