I'm sure you're correct about that, but we're not so sure about getting on the general m/u list with PMU.

If we all get together and chip in 2% maybe we can hire somebody to find out.

Ah, well, they won't even let you trip trade when you are NOQ, nothing goes on that schedule. So I think you're SOL. Nice try, though.

Mayday, Mayday, Mayday ...

There's a new 80 page SMS NPRM ...

I wonder if we can get language written in that to fix this problem?

Yes Albie, the only differentiating factor that completely segregates the PMU versus MU, MUS, MUD, and all the others is a time constraint. This time constraint is a negotiated and ratified part of our CBA. And once again, do not have the language nor proof yet. But I believe that what has been programmed in order for compliance with respect to the issue at hand, discredits any outside help from any entity. It is purely ones working knowledge of the system, our lack thereof, that the advantage has lasted this long. The readon no one had gotten in trouble is because there has been no wrong doing. Now I offer everyone this. I may be wrong about some theories. But the more folks engaged may yield some answers sooner than later.

Validating item. Trip 323 hit open time with revision 1. No fz status. Those in the know are already on a trip who's footprint is in conflict with this pairing. On the captains side only i have checked. This pairing will be awarded in the normal way. Trip trade, makeup, VLT, or Draft. And will be awarded to the the person who can do it and is deserving. I'll check the fo side
