Its been a while since I've been over there, but if they still do it the same:
1.) Next day service (as in morning before your pickup).
2.) Delivered to you room (as in, with permission they will leave it on your bed.)
3.) Very good quality.
4.) The ladies who work down there are IMO the nicest ladies in the world and are very conscientious.
It's dated info, but it's still info. I just wanted to get a plug in for the nice ladies who work there.

If I remember correctly, submit it by 9am and it's hanging in your closet the next day. Good quality.

As a DC9 FO, this change had made life much easier. You won't here me complain. I will point out one benefit to the old way. As you were sitting in the runup pad waiting for the numbers, you were on the clock and getting paid.

I have a PBS question. I'm on the -88 and I noticed this message for July...
**Attention all domestic pilots: The reserve parameter settings for your categories have been expanded up to nine consecutive Maximum Days On.
How can you be on for nine consecutive days as a domestic pilot? That's not a legal schedule because there's no 24 hour break from duty in there? I'm a little confused at how they can let PBS build schedules that violate the FAR's.

You can have a 24 hour break on a layover, or get in at 4pm on day 6 and leave at 7pm on day 7. Worked both days, but you had a 24 hour break so it's legal.
Works for reserve too. For reserves, if required, scheduling will give you a 24 hour break.

When you are on call you are not on duty but you are not off either.

I agree with you. It has made life easier on the Airbus as well. Less heads down and fiddle-fking time while taxiing. Also....it saves gas. No more waiting for the numbers after engine startup. I'm pretty pleased with the new pre-flight procedures as well. Less work....I like!
