That's my point. So it is a 29 hour five day now paying 58 hours. Very nice.

Good job FTB! When Moak takes over for Prater you need to photoshop him an infamous "alpa-stache." Unless of course he is required to grow one per the by-laws.

As I understand it he will get a LOA to go without a mustache because of all the expansion he is going to get for the regionals.

Agreed. I would be interested in a stat that showed the average number of days reserves sit long call without an assignment. That would be a better measure of reserve QOL. I would say the last few months I have sat about 2 days each month without a trip or SC. In addition, the average number of SC's are skewed by the overstaffed categories that have 30 people a day sitting idle, while the short category reserves are getting beat up every day.

With regards to PBS, I like the flexibility of being able to string together long stretches of reserve. Being able to get six or seven days off in a row is nice if I am planning a getaway, of course I know I will have to work your butt off the rest of the month.

They seem to be getting a nice "save" with all of the European cancellations. It is allowing them to use those pilots when they otherwise would have had no one to cover trips.
Some of us are heading over to LHR to bring jets back to ATL.....

Yeah, I saw those trips in the pot, and immediately dropped my phone on to the loo.

You are more than likely correct Sir. And still people are not sending in their card for DPA.....

Does a 24 hour layover cover the required rest of 24 hours in 7 days? I just had some weird experience with scheduling and I'm not sure what the rules / contracts means in this respect. Please enlighten my knowledge..
