Upon further review, 8 on top, 3 left, for a net of 5 numbers down. Three came in under. This slot swap thing better happen fast.

Oh, thanks for asking T. His cast hopefully comes off today. Thanks to the 73 OE planner I can be here. KM, thanks very much!

If you have a trip that crosses months, hard pay (block hrs flown) is split between months, but I believe all credit (could be just trip credit) gets tacked on the last day of the trip - ie the new month.

Well if a leg cancels in the first month, the credit will be applied at the end of the trip - in the next month. It makes sense that the company will not know trip credit until the end of the trip.

No worries - unless your credit bump now prevents you from getting that Sweet 2 day WS because you are over the max pick-up. :eek:

I didn't make the jump, because I only wanted to be a schedule holder. Looks like another summer of sweating to the oldies.:rolleyes:

Looks like I'm going to the frozen tundra! :D

Not to worry though. I believe/heard/read these displacements were because the aquired MD90's are not making it thru the mod lines very quickly and as soon as they start coming to the line in greater numbers, I would suspect there will be unfilled positions along with the possibility of hiring later in the year.

But Ferd,

You wouldn't be able to enjoy that barstool in Saipan anymore if you went to the whale. You could, however, enjoy the hot spots of Manila, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Haneda, and Tel Aviv.
