What does it mean if you are on Reserve and you have a (S) underneath each day you are on reserve (looking at the wide report)?

I found in CA 09-12 under the Delta Bidder Guide a shadow bidder: Awarded to senior shadow bidder pairings matching this bid preference were already awarded to a shadow bidder with higher seniority than you.
So, what I think it means is you were awarded something only because the person who originally got it couldn't keep it. There is SHADOW (RES) if you look under the reasons reports. But I'm not sure.

Thanks, I didn't think of looking in the reasons report. I'll go there and take a gander.
Thank you
Thank you

This was what was said on the CVG base meeting. The meeting was at the end of Feb (literally the day things turned ugly in Lybia, and Oil started going ape ******,) so obviously, subject to change. That being said, jet fuel prices aren't THAT far now from where they were then...
-Next bid in April to May time frame
-Looking at a new A320 base. ATL good possibility (currently 30-40 A319/320 departures from there) but NYC also in the running depending on final outcome of slot swap.
-Also looking at a new base for the 330.
-744 will be status quo (though this was well before the Japan Crisis)
-CVG will be status quo (i.e. no new 320 category, no drawdown on 73N)
-767 to 7ER conversion pushed to end 2012 or 2013. Management wanted conversion quickly for flexibility, but now realizes that there’s a cost for that training, and wants to slow down the conversion. For now, when bodies are needed on the 76, they will go to the ER category.
-Not setting up bases to be 100% where the flying is, but rather ensuring proper coverage to respond to network’s changes.

You bring up a good point regarding the next AE, I am sure they have probably delayed it until the Slot Swap deal becomes official. If anything it shows that they are probably close to coming to a settlement on it.
Not sure how much hiring has been going on, but I get the impression it has slowed dramatically for the time being. I could see the summer schedule keeping most guys busy, maybe even a few GS here and there for some.

$244 million mega millions. i may drop the idea of refurbishing that Delta DC3 and go for the jugular and restore a DC-8 or an 880! 
And just to show I'm not biased to just DALS history I'll toss in a NWA Boeing 377.
