Did I read that critical flight ops update correctly? 806 pilots rerouted? Yikes. Let’s try to fix reroutes in the next contract.

“Average wait time for pilot assist: 3 minutes.”

Average wait time for scheduling or tracking: too ugly to publish.....

I have two weeks vacation in November that I want to slide (to over THanksgiving naturally) Can that be done (requested) now, or do I have to wait until bidding for November?

I am really looking forward to the next time I get lost in the kerfuffel during IROPS. I'll hold for 15 minutes and then hang up. After that, Crew tracking can get ahold of me when they need me. Per diem/credit add up after awhile.

You can have a standing vacation move up bid in the system in case the week(s) you want become available (runs on the first of every month). Barring that being awarded, you won't know into bidding in October.

To slide you'll have to wait until November bidding. Slides are accomplished during the PBS process.

As has been said, you will have to wait until October bidding for November to do a slide for November vacation. That being said.......Good Luck with that! I have a week in November too and have had a vacation move up in since the vacation bids came out. No luck. I will be trying to do the same thing but have had no success in the past.

It's not a big deal really. I will bid reserve and get it off anyway. I was wondering about vacation moveups.

If a slide is awarded, you could have held those days off anyway. I'm not sure of your seat seniority, but just keep in mind that slides are not looked at if you're subject to coverage. If you're going to attempt a slide, as a backup, be sure to ask for those days off (maybe with an else start next). If the slide is awarded, no big deal, if it's denied, you'll at least have a shot at getting as many of those days off as possible.

Questions regarding reroutes.

My original trip was worth 23 hours and I was rerouted which increased my credit to 32 hours. I was rerouted again and my credit dropped back down to 24 hours after I was given different flying. Am I still entitled to the higher credit or is it actually what I end up flying?
