Guess I am just venting! Sorry guys just makes one feel better!

Now how to tell the kids and the wife!

You have my sympathy, bro. I got MDed to MSPM88B from SLCM88B, it's my 2nd MD in 3 years, and counting. I'll do some counting tomorrow and see how many new faces we'll see in LAX. Looks like about 8 D-south, 37 D-north awarded AE on SLC320B, and the rest 65 original SLCM88B MDed to SLC320B.

If there's a new word to be coined this year, it should be, "MDed". Common usage, "I've got MDed...":)

question re: training -

how far in advance do they let you know about training in a new position?

one month? more?

thanks!

Training has to be posted NLT the 5th of the previous month. For example, training in the April Bid period would have to posted NLT 5 March. The projected training dates; however, should come out pretty soon and have been very accurate lately. Remember the projected training dates, although accurate, are only estimates - it is not official until it pops on DBMS.

Guys,
It sucks to get bumped and hopefully the movement will turn around soon, but this is not unique - a lot of guys have had the crap MDed out of them in the last 9 years.

By the use of your smiley face I can see you are taking this with a good attitude - don't worry it will get better, and a crappy commute will really, really make you appreciate the ability to drive to work in the future. :)
Good luck getting back to your base.

WHAT comeback?!?!!?! At least Auburn pulled it out..as did UGA. Tonight I am sure UF will win or there will be no Kleenex left in the US.

Now it's up to us to pull it out. ROLL TIDE. (<-90 grad)

Well they did comeback but then blew the defense. Then that cheezy personal foul call doomed them.

Also, make sure you put in your golden days (5) if there are certain dates you want them to work around.

Anyone know which menu option under Crew Resources in the VRU to select to request months not to go to training? Got my recall back to the 320, but with twins on the way in April, I'm looking to take April and May off.

I would call in fatigued for that crap though, and will not do and volunteer MAC Charters on reserve.
