Ok. My point was seat assignment -- I wasn't clear.

It's been a few years since a friend JS on us intl, but at the time US agents wouldn't give first (or whatever its called this week) but the crew sometimes (almost always) did while DL agents outside US would give it if available.

I'm assuming that went away with the "board with your zone*" while DH'ing memogate.




*for "Main Cabin 1" if you aren't absolutely first in that zone, its 90% full by the time you get on, especially if you say hi to the crew like the outdated days of old fashioned CRM protocol. By the time MC1 is full, there's ppl in every seat, overhead bin, lav, cargo bin and some out on the wings.

True or false?

"No pilot shall AE into any category that experiences a VD or MD."

Ummmmm.....trick question? "What is 'TRUE,' Alex."

You can't AE into a category unless there is a vacancy. If someone is VD'd/MD'd out, there are no vacancies, only surplus positions, (otherwise there wouldn't have been a VD/MD).

Thanks, that's what I figured. Didn't know if there was some obscure reason it could happen.

I have a partial payback day coming up. Pattern is PB-PR-XX. The partial reserve period begins at 0735.

What’s the earliest report time I could get hit with? 1000? 1735? 1935?

I’m thinking(hoping?) it’s late in the day, then there’s very little they could use me for. Just thought I’d see how some others view it.

I think if they assign it to you by 3pm on your PB day you can start as early as 1735.

1735 if they have something on your schedule by 9 hours prior to the start of your long call (2235 day prior), otherwise 1935. Released at noon if there's nothing posted by then, and you should see rest assigned at release.

That’s what I was thinking also. Thanks.
