I might be a little paranoid, but I often checked my sched twice right after 1500. The first time, the sched would show the "Schedule Last Checked" as something prior to 1500, but the second time it would reflect the first time I checked it after 1500.

Then I would print it.

I'm not saying you have to do that now, since they have ways to tell when something was placed on your schedule.

... and what's a "PB day"?

Sink, a PB day is what you line holders do not get for a GS. A reserve pilot gets their off days back since they get single pay above guarantee for a GS.

Also, a trip needs to be placed no later than nine hrs prior to the end of a off period so in this case something along the lines of 1830. Trip is legal.

Still, not a bad idea ...
 

Good head work to print your schedule after the 3PM check in. I've had Short Call periods put on my schedule twice where there was no notification of conversion. I was blissfully unaware until the phone rang at 05:30 to "remind you you have SC at 06:00" :eek:

ACL, Bucking, and several others took to printing their schedule daily to a PDF file. I'm not claim any malfeasance, just pointing out it is easier to prove you looked (and to be sure you looked) if you save the output.

ACL has a good technique that I've adopted....take a screen shot of your schedule after you've checked it. Save it just in case.;)

Couple of points:(1) McKinsey did not model the loss of business by those price sensitive purchasers who simply buy the cheapest thing. Sears had better products than WalMart. We see how the "only a couple of percent more" pricing strategy worked for them.
(2) McKinsey & Co. has been found lurking around the carcasses of bankrupt airlines more often than John Wayne Gacy was found in the general proximity of homicide investigations.

We're saying the same thing. You just have to check it twice, otherwise the box that shows the last time you checked is referring, correctly, to some other time before 15:00.

I think it's been covered before, but JL's newsletter is the only place where I saw specifics on transferring a couple of dollars to an account that benefits the son of the mechanic that was killed in MSP. I won't duplicate it here, and I'm not suggesting anyone else should do that. Nor would I PM his bank account number. But it may be a good idea to look this stuff up on your own. I'm sure the CPSC can provide the info if you call.

The guy left behind a son, who also lost his mother recently.

Food for thought.

Yep, Sink. Lost his mother to cancer, and then his dad.

Oh man........WTH? :(

There was a f-NWA Mechanic that suffered a head injury working on a 320 a few weeks ago, and as a result passed. He left a orphaned son.
