had a system at F9 where you could bid short call (2 hrs), medium call (6 or 8 hrs) or long call (12 hrs). Commuters obviously went with long call, and spent more days on reserve because of it. Very simple and kept everyone happy, or, as happy as one can be sitting reserve.

Quick question..... Any of you guys have the new drop down link in icrew for changing your VRU password? The main page talks about it being under personnel but I can't find it on my icrew screen.

It was there for me this AM. Bottom one if I recall correctly. They uploaded it last night.

Well it is because most of your trips are worth 82 hrs or so. That is a lot of sick time for a call.
Yes the WB pilots on the 330/765 and above get used significantly less than everyone else. It goes with the territory and amount of flying that can be picked up.

Interesting, as I don't show it. I only have qualifications, training, and personnel data.

Our trips are pretty evenly divided between 4-13 days, only about 30% of our trips actually fill up a monthly schedule.

They also have to "overstaff" reserves on the widebody fleet because of the massive revenue loss if one cancels for "lack of crew". Also you can't just "re-route" an inbound crew to a different city, they're all pumpkins when they land.

Just used it. It was the fourth drop down under personnel. Quick and painless.

If I work 17 of 18 days on reserve this month, does that trigger 5:15 pay? Or do I just get whatever I credit?

DCA-BOS will be going from all CR2 to 12x E75
DCA-IND willl be going all E75 from 2x CR2

All E75 flights will be on CP and the CR7 to BDL is on OH.

This definitely is targeted at Airways. Meddles with their FL routes, their BOS shuttle,and some other key markets. DL: "Help us get the slot swap done and we'll go away, till then...it's on!"

Looks like an RJ BUFFET!!!!
