The morning reserve/same day/next day trip assignments still have a human component.
Ah, sorry I didn't mention I was trying GS for the first time, I guess that puts me on the "human" side of the equation. Also added a question after you answered, you are too fast.

Question for you Reserve experts. If a SC list is not published until after 3PM EDT, is anyone obligated to be on short call.

Base time. Only if you are coming off a off day does 1500 matter. They can convert you with 10 hrs notice any time during your reserve period.

Max-
That list has no meaning under the contract. Its really for "reference" only.
Its what is on your schedule that counts.

King-
You're correct about GS involving the human touch.
Your second answer is - - "date range" means the entire duration of the rotation you are requesting. Not just day one.
ie = if you only put in a green slip with a 3 day range then they will not award you a 4 day green slip. And then when it gets to be the 2nd day of your "range" you are in effect asking for 2 or 1 day trips only. Ditto for the last day - you'd only be asking for 1 day trips. They won't award a trip that goes out of your range. Hope I explained that OK.

Actually ALPA has a lot of power at this moment.
If Mesaba is sold, the union has to agree to continue the flow through.
If they don't agree, then Delta has to reduce the 76 seaters from around 150 down to 85.

The MEC has management right by the b@!!$.
It will be interesting to see if they squeeze 'em.

The CFO emerged... saw his shadow, and put the announcement on hiatus for... you guessed it... 4 to 6 weeks
