What if after the Steelers game he had rushed for 666 yards and thrown for 316. The confusion.

Speaking of confusion...
That would be quite a quandry

Good point. Probably a little of both.

No kidding. I didn't get any of my days off request. It's going to be a rough month if I can't change some days.

Local guys make lots of $$$ with those days.
Sounds interesting.. If we were to adopt something like this though, it should be reserve only though... But we all know how it will go down: Nothing will change, and we will hear "Don't worry about it, there will be so much growth that you won't be on reserve for long".. or the old standard "Don't worry son, you'll be senior someday"

My place on the list fell 40% from January to February. Instead of being senior reserve I've fallen pretty far % wise, not necessarily number wise. Partly because they slashed 25 reserve pilots on the 88 in ATL. That never helps.

I was looking at this LOA 29 and the bucket examples it game. It showed 0-80 in the first bucket for RAW score. I know it's just an example and its category contingent, but if they used that on ATL 88 B that'd be very high considering many don't cross 80 for the whole month. Although I guess you need to count raw score in there now. That will make a difference.

Talk LOA reads:
The number and size of RAW buckets will be set for a given bid period and made available on the Crew Resources and Scheduling page of DeltaNet no later than the last day of the prior bid period.

Talk about not knowing what you're bidding for.

Catching up on a bunch of topics.

-American 757's have RR engines
-I'm a Capt and my minimum is about 40-50% over the life of the contract, plus other things like scope, scheduling, DC plan etc. How about 20-25% at DOS then about 8, 8, and 8. I'm equally concerned about scope and JV's as much as pay.
