The 3rd guy should have his own rotation. If you want to see who it is, look up your trip in DBMS by flt num. It will show you and the CA's rotation, then a separate rotation with the 3rd pilot who's flying it.

:eek:

Dirty Uncle Ferd. Its not enough that he knocks over the Christmas Tree and passes out drunk on the couch while our Aunt sobs in the kitchen but now he is flying with people he got to know in high school english.

Argggggggggg, can't write OR type:D

Ferd <--------product of a public education......and a real small school education at that. Milenda is a Delta captain, allllllllll rightttttttttttt:cool:

Thanks......cool, I'll try that. I never saw those in the bid package. Everything I saw was A AND B. I always liked being the JAFA on the europe trips, new guys every time and I was always able to pull rank for which break I wanted :D

The problem is my reading skills are public education like. My HS started out with 525 students and graduated 180. WOHOO!

Heck Ferd I think you were at LFI when I was growing up in said lousy town. Home of the F-22... but just a lousy town to grow up in.

Usually the guy flying gets to pick the break ie middle. Relief always gets first and PNF gets last. Did you do it differently ?

Yeah,

Jr FO took first break (unless the senior FO wanted it) capt took middle and then senior FO. A nice senior FO would reverse it going back.......but I never did:D

If the capt wasn't PF then one FO got the takeoff and one FO got the landing.

Any ideas on how I could get that day off? I would really like not work that day, but it is my last reserve day.

Capped reserve days is the story of my life.

You can try a personal drop but that won't work either for capped reserve days.

Only other way is Authorized Personal Drop. Those work on capped days but you only get one per year.

Maybe so..........actually they are closing my old squadron down (no more Ironmen). Only going to keep the two WWI squadrons in the 1st FW (mine was a WWII johnny come lately).:(

525????? That was the size of my WHOLE HS!! :D Girls were ahhhhhh rare?
