When I check my VTS page, I have a status of MMC for two weeks. I did a search in the PWA and it didn't find "MMC".

Any ideas to what this is? I'm sure it is related to my 757/767ER training.

Asterisk rotations/pairing are the only trips that are subject to change. There are quite a few places in the contract it talks about them. Here is one of them:

1. “Asterisk rotation” means a rotation that:
a. is published in the bid package,
b. is scheduled to begin in one bid period and end in another,
c. includes:
1) a duty period that begins in the second bid period, and/or
2) a flight segment in the second bid period with a different flight number than the last flight segment in the first bid period,
d. is subject to change or removal from a pilot’s line, and

e. is designated with an *.

Here is another section's quote:

Asterisk Rotations – The rotation guarantee of an asterisk rotation will be based on the portion of the rotation (as originally published in the bid package) that is contained within the bid period.

What I get from it is the company can do anything with an asterisk rotation they want to but you are guaranteed pay for what is in the first bid period. An asterisk trip can change from a 2 or 3 day to a 5 or 6 day. Be careful out there!!!

Thank you very much. I kind of figured that's what is was.

BTW, Buzz, if he has the Sober Valley Lodge what do you call your crib? It needs a name.

I'm going to start OE in less than two weeks on a new fleet. I was given my Jep revisions. I have to do 8 revisions to bring mine up-to-date, then the cross-over revision, then 2 more revisions to bring those up-to-date totaling 11 Jep revisions total. Our tech pubs division sucks.

You ought to come meet them at the training center and ask them (all two of them) for revisions. They "will will eat your hands off your arms."*
