Do you need an infraction, johnso? :D

He has an over-inflated sense of self-importance apparently. Nothing specific is given but it sounds like he's trying to get pilots to buy into his "system" financially, I think.

The answer I got was, "Well, one of the days you were looking to trade out of was close (within 2) so maybe somebody called in well or something after the PCS run to bring the reserves available number up." I pretty much know that's BS because I checked the reserve levels before the 7 am run and the noon run and they were good. I'll give it through the midnight run and then call ALPA. I really appreciated the scheduler's solid argument though... "Hey man, no way that computer was wrong." Every time I tried to tell the guy what the reserve levels were before and after the run, I got, "No way the computer was wrong." Will see what midnight brings...

Thanks for the quick response, Sailing. I appreciate it.

May I suggest, Screen Capture. Works well, and allows you to store the proof.

I tried to trade some reserve days to get denied by capped reserve days. The coverages according to pilot reserve levels are double what is required. What does capped reserve days mean? I thought it meant the coverages were low, but that is obviously not the case.

That is what it means. Maybe they did not turn on the change to the reserve required formula in the computer. That would result in the computer looking at the old formula and not the new one. It is a big change.

Call them and see what they say.

Trying to catch a dci flight out of MSP, however there is a power outage in the A, B, and C terminals where all the dci flights leave. A day in MSP with no crj's? Maybe they are right... The world must be ending
