Does the contract allow instructors to bid FO seats on their fly months?

Same as months before on the 200. Bid down so they can get a better schedule for their fly month. Don't worry, we haven't served enough reserve according to them. I just feel bad for captains. 7 years and going on reserve...

Broke aaaannnd Broken. Since ATL is shrinking a little and other bases are shrinking even more, I can't imagine reserve becoming quicker. Good news though. You don't have to call for release any longer. That's huge actually.
Not until the 21st. You still have to call until the 21st.

They don't get to pick what seat they want to fly. The company puts them in whatever seat they need the extra butts.

I had a feeling it was because of staffing. Too many instructors in one month for it to be a "fly the line" month. They should just crank up the 200% premium time if they need staffing help. Better to pay us $88 an hr than the $100+ the instructors make

I guess they realized we can't pick anything up since they have us flying 90+ hours every month. Ha!

Its scheduled for April 21 implementation as originally planned. The latest email is just clarifying that said procedure is not yet in effect.

Nothing has changed.
