It is tough business trying to keep all these vultures out of our categories

I know this has been asked several times so I'll add it once more since I don't want to search. I'm converting 1 Apr to 7ER in NYC. They have apr 1-16th shadowed in my calender for OE and TOE. Can I bid for a line for the rest of the month? Or did that change?

When I was up in NYC and there wasn't an AE for 6 months I would PD my entire month and WS out of ATL (Mon-Thu usually). Didn't seem to be a problem. After finally getting ATL in an AE I kind of wished I had stayed NYC and kept doing it back then because when I came to ATL reserves were being used every single day they were available (ALV was 82).
Jesse were you on reserve in NYC doing that? When a reserve guy drops his entire month does that month become X days or can he WS on those days.

Thanks in advance to Jesse or anyone who cares to answer.

You have to be a lineholder to WS.

You should have PBS credit for the shadow period so you should be able to bid a line. Call 1-800-USA-ALPA and ask for scheduling committee, they can give you the definitive answer.

Default Differences

Maybe someone smarter that me can explain this:

Our leader reported via the Mar 2 code a phone that in Apr our capacity wil be down 1.7%. Never fear, SWA is -3.7%, UAL - 3.4%, and AA -2.2% so we are doing better that most. However these are the facts according to press releases reposted on DLNET.

Airline Traffic Capacity

DAL +2.6 -1.7
USAir +7.9 +5.8
AA +6 +4.7
SWA +3.9 +6.2
UAL +3.4 +5.4
Alaska +9.7 +5.8


Seems he got the fact we are shrinking correct but missed what the rest of the industry is doing. I realize he was predicting April, but I highly doubt every one else will magicall start shrinking.

What am I missing?

Yes you can. But FYI, I was unable to hold a line in Jan or Feb even with 36 hours of training credit in each bid period. Maybe you'll have better luck.
