They will call you. Keep checking your schedule. You may see IOE show up on a few days. That will be when your trip is. If it is not in domicile they need to build the rotation, so it may take a few days to show up on your line. When I have seen this, I generally send the OE planner a e-mail, and I have always gotten a response back with the associated rotation very quickly.

If you do none of the above they will call you.

You know, this outsourcing RJ thing is kind of a multi-headed monster. There is a smaller head, possibly around the nether regions of said monster near its other head, where you might find this conversation:

Delta Pilot 1: You know, DALPA says don't worry about RJs because management says they hate all of the RJ's they keep ordering. But I'm nervous, those RJ's should be flown here.

Delta Pilot 2: WHA? No way. I'm not going to be a FLAP.

Delta Pilot 1: What's a FLAP?

Delta Pilot 2: An [expletive] little airplane pilot.

Delta Pilot 1: You're an idiot.

On ATL M88 B, 21 trips assigned today of which only 1 was assigned to a reserve pilot. 16 went to WS's and 4 to P's.

The ATL M88 B's really don't know how to play the game, do they?

I just heard that DAL will resume service to Cairo with stops in Rome. Can anyone shed details on this? I'm concerned for the crews. Will they fly into HECA and then fly our to LIRF with the same crews? I just can't imagine anyone staying overnight there.

If anyone on here is going, I wish you good luck and a safe return. You'll be in my thoughts.

I'm guessing turns into CAI from FCO? That would avoid layovers.

That is the plan as of a few hours ago. Crews are already being positioned and a aircraft is being ferried at 4 pm today to Rome from JFK to start the shuttles to get the people out of Cairo.

Good plan. Get them out of there.
