Mark this post as a first, Sailing and Bacon agree. I'm checking with my pastor to see if hell is frozen. On a different note: I love living out west, skied in the morning, golfed in the afternoon.

forgot to bid

I think that's what the Bible meant when it said "rumors of wars" but not real wars.

See hell hasn't frozen over until Carl and Slow agree, Tsquare tells Carl he's sorry, Carl apologizes to Alfa, Hockey is happy with something, I proofread before i hit submit, Newk has a party foul and Luvjockey says he wish he had been hired at Delta.

And that's just for starters.

Alright my short term memory is worthless. What was the trick to type in the address bar to see the schedules early. Probably too early right now but I want to be prepared....for when it is not too early.

Just go to the address and replace MAR and mar with APR & apr.

More signs that hell has frozen over:

8.) 80 says something good about the 737-800.
9.) Ferd announces that he hates Asia flying.
10.) finis actually bids the DC-9 in ATL

[QUOTE=tsquare;1150435]In the summer when things are busy out of base white slips are possible. Normally if you get one it will be the day prior or the morning of the trip when someone sicks out. Now and then some winter trips show up but in the 1113 contract out of base WS moved below reserves in base. Big change. Hopefully it will go back the other way in the new contract.

Oh hell no... why do you continually want to screw the reserves?

Tsquare, I invite you to read every single post that I have made on this forum. Find any where I have tried to screw the reserves. In the pre 1113 contract a out of base WS went before reserves only if no reserve pilot requested the trip. I know you know that unless you really were that uninformed about the contract you worked under with the awards run that way for at least 10 years. No reserves was screwed. In fact it was the opposite. A reserve got to stay home instead of being given a trip he did not want.
The current system leaves it up to the scheduler. He can award it to a reserve in base or to the out of base WS. They look at their coverage and play the game to suit crew scheduling. The old system was much better for everyone involved. In addition a out of base WS award verses in base to a reserve increases jobs overall. I have talked over an over again about the effect of the work rule changes on jobs. I guess you want to give up more jobs to the company.
In June of 2007 Delta had about the same amount of total pilot block hours as we had in June of 2001. We were however flying the schedule with 2500 fewer pilots. Why? Hundreds of little changes like this to the work rules. They need to be fixed in the next contract.

LMAO! Especially about 80 and the -800.

newKnow

Yes, 80. We get it. The 320 is great and the -800 sucks. Until an AE rolls around, then its the opposite.

Don't break a hip.

Hey Newk, I actually flew the DC-9 as an F/O in MSY, finished my OE's and then got canceled. If Delta paid by work load DC-9 F/O would be the highest paid position.
