I ask because I had credit for a short call removed and didn't realize it until now.
I can't find anything in the contract. Thanks.

Riu Palace or Riu Palace Macao in Punta Cana?
I've looked at both. Palace Macao is a little cheaper right now, but more expensive in Sept. Palace looks nicer to me, with access to the sister resorts. I don't think you get that with Palace Macao.
So which is the nicer of the two? It sounds like Check did one and FTB did the other, so I'm trying to get a review from you both. I'm leaning towards the Riu Palace.

I just looked up the definition of a "new or re-established category." After reading it, and assuming the SEA7er category is "established" (first conversions in my mind) Sep 1, then you should be able to bid it as a new category if the AE comes out prior to 60 days past Sep 1. (Not sure if the AE would need to come out or close before the 60 day period expires.)
If that doesn't work and they convert the SLC767 domestic category to the ER, you could bid that as a new category and then try to get into SEA on a following AE. You would be taking a chance doing it this way but it could work.
In any event, I'd call the union and see what they had to say about it. The following is the contract definition of "new or reestablished category."
150. “New or reestablished category” means, for the purposes of
Section 22, a category that has not been in existence for 60 days since the date of the first opportunity for the first conversion.

Just wondered how the GS flying is going. Some pages ago, guys were predicting huge amonts of GS flying this summer. Never expected to see it on the 744, but just curious if it is happening as expected as we are in the middle of the summer season.

That definition of a new or reestablished category is not very well written in my book.
