Volotea? I think that was it. Probably getting new paint there in SNN.

A week of vacation should pay 35 hours so 2 would be 70 instead of a laughable 42.

Pretty good...if we order new 320/319's. If not, I'd say very slim chance.

As for having A321s - no need, we've got a boatload of B757s

I don't think you have to tell them any earlier than the start of your SC. When your first flight is full and you have to use your backup that takes you into the 2 hour window (completely legit) you can't notify them as soon as you acknowledge the SC, which is usally the day before and you don't know at that time you need it.

Red and Blue logo for wings and hat too.

I think it should be illegal to put A321 and B757 in the same sentence....

Sorry 80.

If you get a 1400 SC time, you can call scheduling and tell them that you are using your two hour commute, which means they will not be able to contact you during the first two hours of your SC, so in this case you don't actually have to be in SEA until 1600. But you will be expected to be able to report right away if they call you at 1600. I use it all the time...works great. Also, when you get two hours from the end of your short call, they will usually release you, if you call and use your sexy voice.
Done! Thanks for the explanation
