Insert an 'i' as the first letter of the base, for the line you are trying to bump down. If you want more than one blank space, enter 'i#' as the first two characters of the base, where # = the number of new spaces you want.

For example, you want to insert a new line above your third pref which is ATL 777 A. You would input iTL 777 A, and then hit enter. It would bump everything down one line, and leave you a blank space to enter a new preference. If you want 3 new blanks above ATL 777 A, then you would enter i3L 777 A and hit enter.

I don't think it works if you delete all of ATL and just put 'i' or 'i3', etc. You have to overwrite the current base info or you will get the error msg you received.

Good luck

An expansion of the Alaska Codeshare Agreement would allow us to maintain a significant network presence in the northwest and along the West Coast, while fully utilizing our aircraft in the most productive manner possible across our domestic network.
The bottom line is that our competitors will continue to have far more liberal Scope agreements than what we’ve proposed. We are creating a new Scope paradigm that enables us to strengthen our network, increase opportunities and security for pilots, and out-compete other airlines."

I wonder if the boys in Atlanta are reading this as well? Maybe faster to upgrade if I apply at ALK?

You can do two things. A Blank line which will give you pro ratta credit for the training time, and then no credit for the rest of the month. With this second part of the month, you WS as much as you want.

If you just want to move your X days, call scheduling, but what I have done and it works very well, is to call the OE scheduler for your category and have them do it. It has worked every time. Of course I have done it before my IOE signoff was inputted in to the computer.

1. take out full page ad in the Dallas Morning News, the AJC and the WSJ; declaring our solidarity w/ the APA and call out AA mgmt for ridiculous negotiating practices.

or.

2. start organizing informational picketing on behalf of the AA guys.

if their contract goes the way its headed right now....how much of a chance do you think ours really has?

If any of this happens; scope sales, we will be fighting from the low ground in Section 6.

If they offer that kind of $$$, what does that say about QOL? Most guys I talk to who work for Emirates view it as a stepping stone. Suck it up, make a little tax free nest egg, get some WB time, & come back home. Emirates HAS to offer this stuff to attract the pilots they need.

Anyone havea feel for whether Delta will approve long term leave for three years, or longer? Sure Dubai is not a first choice, but it might be a reasonable alternative.

Dubai? Forget that, go to Alaska. They're going to get more AMR and DAL flying. You could be a 738 Captain before you know it.
