Seeing several names that I know bailing out of ATL330 back to DTW330.

This should end up being the junior bid to ATL330. The guys that left are commuters and will bid back in next year IF the trips get better. I doubt the trips will be more than ACC, LOS, DKR and some HNL, but you never know at DAL.

VERRRRRYYY glad I stayed in DTW.

Log in to the Alpa web site and search for the "PCS users guide". It explains all about white slip/swap with the pot, etc.
If you can't find it PM me and I'll e-mail you a copy.

Hockey,

Familarize yourself with the PCS page. It can be your best friend or your worst enemy! White slips are used strictly to pick up time listed in the pot. Swap with the pot is used to swap your trip with a trip in the pot. There are restrictions with this such as no "Q" trips, reserve availability, and max pick up. Don't forget that you can always use the swapboard too.

You can also put in "blind" swaps (but be careful!) where the trip is not available but if it becomes available during the PCS run, you will have your swap in and it will process it. This works fairly well on the initial PCS run. It doesn't work all the time but I have used it to swap into better trips. The more trips you are willing to swap for the better it works.

As was said before, you cannot put in PCS changes until the schedules are released. GOOD LUCK!

Denny

330 B.

But, geeze. It looks like he could bite the bullet and go NYC 7ERA and hang out with you, ts. That thing is getting more and more junior. I guess your San Paulo Ms. Universe stories aren't attracting the senior folks.
