Saying that a trip that leaves open time 7 days in advance was picked up at AVA is an assumption. Nowork said he knew who was picking up trips at AVA by watching open time.

As far as trips still being in open time inside of the assignment window goes, I have put in for trades before the assignment window opened only to wait for hours for the trade request to be processed. Sometimes that trade is approved well after the assignment window has opened even though the trade was submitted earlier. So again, using that strategy is just a guess. The only way to know is to know the pay code.

I feel sorry for people who don't have anything better to do than to try to figure out what everybody else is doing. Quite pathetic actually.

Only the guilty get defensive. Some known quantities who also throw stones are the biggest draft hohos. Hopefully this isn’t you.

It’s very easy to track the trip to someone’s calendar. Oh wow working 25-30 days of the month. Or you get the calendar blocker. I’m sure they have nothing to hide.

But Tony, we at the MEC have survey data that clearly says that the membership wants us to improve the defined benefit (regardless of the mechanism or its voracity). (sarcasm intended)

You've stated that you know who I am and you know who is flying AVA and draft, so why don't you tell me what I am doing. Or are you doing what you accuse others of doing, making crap up?
