Once you have gotten to within 2 hours of the ALV you don't have to sit shortcall. Your done for the month if you choose.

Well that's interesting but if you think that applies to the course I took to learn the investment method I use, you are mistaken. Anyway, it doesn't matter to me. I was only trying to point out that successful investing does not necessarily require a lot of time and effort. I guess I was wasting my time contributing here in this particular discussion anyway. I mean why would anyone pay attention to an investment discussion among pilots when they could seek out advice from true experts... or just go to the library and check out a book? :rolleyes:

Good luck.

True, and from what I have seen, if you have a yellow slip in (reduced RAW) they put you on the Reserve Availability List and previously have been assigned SC. If I choose not to sit SC, I remove my slip and then call them and tell them, that I want a trip, but opt not to sit the SC period. They remove it, and I put my reduced RAW YS back in.

I have noticed that once over ALV they are now removing you from the Reserve Availability List and effectively parking you as long as you do not have a YS in with a reduced RAW. You no longer have to call and asked to be showed "full" for the month.

That's how NWA's was before the merger. So I was quite shocked the first summer of our merged airlines when I saw non revs sitting in 1st class wearing tank tops, shorts, & cheap flip flops. :eek:

My, how classy that looked. :rolleyes:

I still cannot bring myself to do that. I will wear jeans in coach when shucking the kids to and from the grandparents, but non-reving in first in a t-shirt and shorts is just too weird for me.

YouTube - Barney The Dinosaur Live Show - FLYING ON AN AIROPLANE:eek:

It wasn't coat and tie over there but it sure was more the nothing we have here.

I still can't bring myself to nonrev in something other than biz caz.

A long time ago it was a Suit and a Tie, then it was a coat, then it was business casual, but now it is a free-for-all... :eek:

Oh and women were required to were hose and shoes that did not have an open toe.......

I always wear something other than jeans just in case I need the cockpit jumpseat.

That's good advice. Books from a library or even better, listening to experts. The LAST person ever to listen to about investment advice is a pilot....:cool:

I wouldn't be surprised to find out that if you add up all the money lost on pilot investment advice it would be more than Madoff lost.
