Thanks ACL,
My question on a more specific level was, once a trip had been assigned to a long call pilot on the day prior (more than 12 hours), can an out-of-base white slip legally come and decide to take the trip from a RES pilot after it has been assigned later in the day (but still 12 hours from report)
Scheduler tried to pull a trip after they assigned it to me, and I queried the scheduler about it and I got the trip back. I was just curious because it seemed unusual. I realize a white slip has first dibs on a trip, but I didn't think a trip could be pulled like that after it has been assigned.

What you should do is Acknowledge a trip once you see it, that way they are less likely to take it from you.

I think a netbook is the best way to go.

Unlike the 88, the 90 will capture without the ALT lite being armed.

I carry a full size (14") laptop - weighs in about 6 lbs with case and AC adapter. Seriously thinking about downscaling to one of the netbooks. Would love to get by with just a tablet (IPad/Android) but don't think those are quite there yet for everything I need/want to get down on the road (e.g. bidding with Easy Bid). Also like to carry a nice mix of movies/music and they fit quite easily on a netbook or a laptop. Macbook Airs are nice BUT like any Apple Product (even refurb) very expensive.

Staples Coupon
If anyone is thinking of a tablet that isn't apple, Staples has a great in store coupon right now. $100 off brings the ASUS transformer down to $299 and the new Samsung Tab 10.1 16GB to $399
Only trick I ran into was finding a store with the tablets in stock. GL

The Asus and Samdsung also have keyboards available as an accessory. The Asus makes it almost into a netbook but it still isn't as capable, and I personally do not have an android device either phone or tablet and not sure how easy it is to get onto Dalnet, iCrew or Travelnet.

Scheduling has the right under the contract to correct mistakes. If a scheduler assigns a trip and it is not per the contract they can correct that mistake at no penalty to the company. What they can't do however is what I suspect happened in your case. They are short on pilots. They cover your trip with you as a reserve. Another pilots sees the trip in the daily coverage and calls scheds and says since you are short I will take the trip on a out of bases WS. They move the trip to get you back into their hip pocket on reserve. The fact the scheduler agreed to keep you on the trip tells me this is the case. If it was a mistake he could have simply told you to bad. There was more to the story.
