The part I bolded is correct. You will have to rebid vacation if you are awarded a new position via AE or VD, not so with MD (ie involuntary displacement will allow you to retain your previously awarded vacation.) I believe the screen you're talking about is referring to vacation that may conflict with training when they get around to scheduling you for qual training in your new position. If you choose to keep your current vacation, then you will not be pay protected. If you would rather keep your vacation (that conflicts with training) then you will go to training whenever they can schedule you for it - after you vacation is over. Now I think this only applies if it conflicts with your training. Say you have Christmas vacation and they want you to go to class in September. I don't think you can say "nahh, I'd rather wait til next year" I always hold the coveted mid-March vacation, so I never worry about them moving it. Figure it can't get much less desirable |

Then what's the purpose of the iPAds again? If I can't use it to fly an approach, I don't see the point in carrying a company "computer" that has the pubs that are already on board in paper form to begin with..

Well rumors are that the 3rd generation Ipads will come equipped with a program that is hardwired to communicate with a special satellite that can scratch your arse from outer space.

It's Friday Friday getting down on Friday... you know what day it is? fRIDAY!
Time for random sex, gossip and controversy as it relates to our jobs. First, a man that was admittedly "flying": From police accident report: “At the time of the collision, Defendant was going 85 miles per hour.” (Paragraph 10) “At the time of the collision, Defendant was having sex with a female.” (Paragraph 12) “At the time of the collision, Defendant was driving admittedly drunk.” (Paragraph 13) “At the time of the accident, Defendant was partially or totally in the backseat of the car.” (Paragraph 14) Lawsuit Claims Drunken Sex at 85 mph | NBC Washington |
Since we're intermingling the skeds questions, here's one.
Does a Personal Drop count as a "hard" non-fly day for a reserve (i.e. released from call at 12:00pm if no assignment?) |

PD is a hard non-fly. I think you're safe if you make it to noon. Friday Night survey says------ YES! http://www.thebounce.co.za/wp-conten...bs-up-girl.jpg |

American Airlines to save $1.2 million shifting paper flight charts to iPad AppleInsider | American Airlines to save $1.2 million shifting paper flight charts to iPad Jack, Basically management says whatever backs their current plan - nothing new here. Prior to the merger we heard about how important "Fleet simplification" was DAL surviving and making a profit. We parked all kinds of mainline aircraft in the quest for "Simplification." Then we merge with NW, acquire all kinds of exotic french speaking aircraft and all of a sudden, overnight, fleet simplification is out and "Fleet versatility" is the golden ticket to profitability. So, paper will be the ticket (no pun intended) until one morning DAL decides to make a play for the 21th century and presto - I-Pads will all of a sudden save gazillions! Huge management bonuses will follow. Scoop |

Black's popular 'Friday' video pulled off YouTube June 17th, 2011 @ 10:25am By Associated Press By DERRIK J. LANG AP Entertainment Writer LOS ANGELES (AP) - Rebecca Black's official "Friday" music video has been taken off YouTube. The page where the video starring the 13-year-old singer once played now says it "is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Rebecca Black." Black's spokesman says her team sent a takedown notice to YouTube because of a dispute over the video with Ark Music Factory, the company Black's parents paid $4,000 to produce the song and video. Earlier this week, the firm began charging viewers $2.99 to watch the clip. Lawyers for Black and Ark Music have been haggling over who owns the rights to everything associated with "Friday" since it became a sensation earlier this year. The video had amassed more than 160 million views and more than 3 million "dislikes." |
