I haven't looked at the category list recently, but I'm guessing that the reduction in lines has to do with state of flux that is going on for the next month or so. A bunch of junior ER guys start training in other equipment this month (which is evident by the big drop in reserve coverage that last half of the month), with much more to follow next month. And I doubt that all of their replacements are through training/TOE yet.

You should have an e-mail as to where to send it too.
The last and final Compass Question PDF should be up there in a half hr. It truly is a good read.

Yeah, have fun with that :rolleyes:. I'm one of those that will be out of the category next month. Hopefully the 88 will also be short this summer :D

Take that back, now!

I feel like I'm in a crazy cult with all the other overworked 88 guys when I slowly say to ya'll "we've been waiting for you".

In truth, however, I'll probably be complaining in a few months about how I'm having to just sit in the crashpad, no open time, only 70 hours etc...

You're not in a crazy cult, you're just a part of what everyone refers to as the "others."

Please, reserve judgement until I purposely bid the DC-9... :D Doh!

The line values for the 73N in LA are way up for April as well.

The April NYC 7ER B category list shows 452 pilots. That means either a lot of guys haven't completed their training yet or a lot of guys on reserve that aren't going to work very much next month. Either way I'm going to have to figure out how to put a reserve bid in again.

You are shown in category when you are converted. This does not mean that they will be bidding, it just means that is their category now.
