You can PD as many times as you want to throughout the year. You only get 1 APD per year. The APD only requires that there is 25% of the reserves required to be able to drop the trip, with limited exceptions for holiday periods. To see if you still have your APD available for the year, check your time card in iCrew. It will say something down near the bottom like APD available for use: Y (or N)
For a straight PD (again unlimited) every day of the trip has to have more reserves available than required. You can check this in iCrew under the Open Time link. You cannot WS on a day which shows PD or APD on your schedule. I think you can PD just one day of the trip which will then drop the entire rotation, provided coverage is adequate. You would then have PD on only one day of your schedule, and should be able to WS on the other days. You want to check into this before you try it though - I'm not 100% on this one. It sounds like you may be able to accomplish what you're wanting to do by a Swap With the Pot request, which has it's own set of requirements. |
Straight from the bilge

Now if we can find a way to make it with bottled water instead of aircraft bilge water!
This^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Actually I have a french press that I carry with me.. along with some good... great Brazilian coffee, and it is OK with the bilge water as long as it is strong enough. Seems hat when we started carrying Green Mountain years ago, it was pretty good until somebody said it was too strong and cut back the packets... since then... ugh. I am optimistic about this though... Man.. no Jepps.. I just bought a smaller computer.. and no french press... What on earth will I do with all that space in my flight kit? :eek::D:confused: |

Longevity is ... not a simple problem, in my view. Does this address your question, or did I miss it?
To pre-empt your reply that management does not want a merger ... there are numerous answers and possibilities:
Or conversely (since this is how our MEC has thought in the past) if we are going to sell members' jobs, what are they worth? |

This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger. Now it's "Grimesy, black, one sugar" or "Grimesy, got a powdered anywhere? |
So, are there ship sets now in the 757/767 fleet? I thought that wasn't supposed to happen until the 11th? Good for you guys. When will the Md88 fleet get ours?
