Capncrunch, I would not worry too much about the AK group. They will very likely be fenced from a significant portion of the DAL fleet. Any equipment larger than a 737 will have some type of restrictions. Just ask any of the old nwa green book guys about the Roberts award and fences.

I used to want this, now I'm not so sure. Most of those guys will be put in front of me. As it stands now, I could be SEA 76 in 2 years. We add AK and I can kiss that goodbye.

*I think this may be why we are securing more cash. Just reading the leaves.

If I want to swap a trip on my line with a trip in open time do I use:

PCS

Swap with Pot?


Plus on Crew Scheduling & Resources it says they have changed the multiplier for some categories to 1.5 for December. In short, what does this mean? Doe's it make it more difficult to swap with the pot? I'm checking my contract now......

Thanks. :)

Yes, hard if not impossible. look at the reserve req-vs-avl for DEC. compared to NOV. see any difference?

So I got a question. Does unstacking total negate your seniority? I asked for the 25th and 26th off and was awarded a trip on the 26th due to unstacking, but two guys junior to me got trips starting on the 27th with the 25th and 26th off. Both of those pairings would have worked on my schedule and my trip on the 26th would have work on both of their schedules. My request was denied, but the pilots junior to me were granted the days I wanted... Does unstacking just say FU to seniority?

I tried You Tube but there was no listing for: Python, Men, Men. I guess I must have seen it on Saturday Night Live or something? Great stuff!

I could have sworn that Monty Python did it also...but I couldn't find it either.

Precisely, which is why the 73 and 320 guys on the west coast will get boned instead.:mad:

COLUMBIA, YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE FUTURE QUEEN.

How exactly does she need a thighmaster? Or what is a thighmaster for? Maybe thighmaster = Columbia? Is that what you meant? :D

I agree, that's what would happen in that situation.

Anyone have a solution to a AK merger that, if forced to merge, we could find palatable for our brethren in LAX?

Yes. To swap with a trip in open time, use Swap with the Pot. The Swap Board is for pilot-to-pilot swaps.

It obviously resides in the T-shirt you so artfully designed....
