SLG Question
In the new SLG tool, does anybody know the difference between selecting "any" versus "all" when avoiding or desiring a certain parameter? For example, how is the system interpreting the difference between "avoid ANY deadhead" versus "avoid ALL deadhead"? (Yes, I know there are three different deadhead options...I'm paraphrasing). Thanks!

For example:
"Avoid pairings with ANY attributes in BACK_DH, FRONT_DH" would avoid those trips that had either front or back end deadheads, where as "Avoid pairings with ALL attributes in BACK_DH, FRONT_DH" would only avoid those trips that contained both front and backend deadheads.

Can anybody give me some advice on how to go about requesting week on week off and West coast flying? I put in the following:
Avoid reserve
At least 7 days off concurrently (not the exact verbiage)
Desire west coast
Thanks

I didn't pay much attention but I think you would want to select 2 or 3 work periods.
I don't remember how departures worked. One example had two work periods but one of the weeks had out and backs in them. Not something you would want as a commuter.
I think she said a work period was satisfied with multiple departures as long as there was less than 36 hours in base between trips. That could make for a few dead dead in MEM.
I think you would want the work period preference right after the avoid reserve preference.

The removal of “Pairing on a date” selection is crippling. I don’t necessarily want the same paring EVERY week of a bid. Not sure who would want that. But I may want it on weeks 1 & 3 of a bid month.
I was told the option was removed from the SLG input choices because there was a local v Zulu issue with the programming. I responded that we’d like that option back ASAP, as it basically makes my entire VTO bidding process too generic to target work days and days off.
Anyone else sent up a complaint on that issue?

Sounds kinda nice that Mgt is actually responsive to Pilot's programming desires.
Implementation phase of SLG is under way for another 10 months or so, keep the feedback\desired improvements coming.
IF it has the same shelf life the previous VTO software had, this will be with you for 20+ years
