I'm considering the S&W MP15 Sport. Any owners have anything to say about it? Best price I've found is on budspolicesupply for $535.

No SC awarded to any of us with 3 days availability for the next day. I think they try to stay unpredictable to keep you on your toes guessing.

Anyone know how SC will work in May when it is seniority based? Does a senior guy get none until a junior guy has 3??

Good question. Will we be able to choose sc start times as well?

More importantly, can I say "IF you want to use me for short call then I want..."

?

Buckets will be 0-2 SC 3-5 SC & 6 or more.

SC will be assigned senior to junior for those requesting it, then inversely for those who have not requested it. However, if no one is asking for it, and the junior guy had done 3 while the senior guy has 2 then the senior guy will get the SC.

Thanks, its a start in a more organized sc, wish the 1st bucket was 1-3

I think that those are the correct buckets. This method begins in May. This is from LOA 31

f. be converted to short call within days-of-availability groupings, in the following order: 1) in seniority order, among pilots who have submitted a yellow slip for conversion to short call and who have 0-2 short call credits.
2) in inverse seniority order, among pilots who have not submitted a yellow slip for conversion to short call and who have 0-2 short call credits.
3) in seniority order, among pilots who have submitted a yellow slip for conversion to short call and who have 3-5 short call credits.
4) in inverse seniority order, among pilots who have not submitted a yellow slip for conversion to short call and who have 3-5 short call credits.
5) in seniority order, among pilots who have submitted a yellow slip for conversion to short call and who have 6 or more short call credits.
Note: The Company will publish, by calendar day for each category, the targeted number and start time of short call periods based upon historic and projected requirements. Such targets are pre-month estimates only and operational requirements will determine actual short call periods

Agreed, however, I wish the first bucket was just 1. Everyone gets a short call and THEN let the fun begin.
