It's in a different language but that's okay, it requires no explanation in any culture or language.

FTB,

That is so funny!! Reminds me of the time years ago (I won't date myself or my wife!:eek:) My girlfriend (now my wife) and I went to the Seafair Parade in Seattle. We were standing on the sidewalk watching the parade and a motorcycle cop went by, saw her and ALMOST did the same thing! His swerve at the last minute cleared the car unlike that sop!

I hadn't noticed this until you said it. Looking at ATLM88B, the second to last pilot on the list held a line in FEB. Is reserve going to be that much more desirable with the new seniority changes? I would think MAYBE in a slow month, but not over the summer when reserves fly almost every day.

Granted, most of the junior lines were under 70 hours, so I guess guys would rather bid reserve, not fly much and get 70 than fly 68 for 68. :confused:

How has the open time been on ATLM88B? Are WS available or is opentime hard to come by like on the 73N in ATL?

Another mystery?
 
Sifting through the awards for FEB I notice a guy with Terciary and Quaternary vacation with a seniority number of almost 12,000?

How is it possible for someone with less than 5 years seniority to have 4 weeks of vacation?

Inter-company transfer is a possibility.
It's very common among the flt attendants. They have lots of former gate agents, res agents, etc.
Much less common for us but we do have a handful of pilots who were once mechanics or flt attendants, etc.

They keep their original seniority for vacation bidding and non-revving.

FA skeds probably just came out.

FWIW, EasyBid works just fine.

Correct. Lots of these over the last few years. Many were on leave up to the morning they came to new hire class as a pilot. They cancel their leave and show up to class without ever stepping in to their old job.

They have also transferred or given credit to other employees from ASA and the like. Had a few friends who were ops agents that came to DAL in 2007. They all got credit for their yos for pass benies and vacation.
