As an outside observer "industry leading pairing language" sounds a lot like "who needs trip rigs anyway". Is that about right?

Go to Flica..."view pairings" and you can take a look at your base/seat's pairings for October.

No we’re pretty rigged:

1:2 Duty
1:3.5 TAFB
5 hour average duty period
5 hour average day
Plus some night stuff

What are your observations? I won't be able to look until possibly Tuesday or Wednesday.

It actually doesn't look that bad. The old 10 hr 3 days appear unchanged. I was concerned about them being "nested". There are some different pairings than before but nothing struck me as any worse/better than before.

The 5hr calender day rig is missing so you will have to submit for those. It seems like fewer 2 days but that could be my imagination.

Almost like those pairing construction rules added nothing to the pilots. But I know that can't be true. ALPA was hopping up and down over how great they were.

Overall I think it definitely needs work. The 190 has a lot of 3-4 legs days and even some 5 leg days thrown in there. (I only found one pairing where you operate all 5 legs). Winter IROP's will be fun. Airbus guys can speak for themselves about their pairings.

Maybe that's why all the BOS 190 CA's who negotiated our CBA bid onto the bus...

I tried this and failed. What’s the trick?

Type in the date

10/01/18

Or 01OCT


You can’t click view all pairings. They won’t show. Have to do it by individual date.

I never use the mobile Flica...try the desktop version.

"View or Print Pairings"
"Pairing and/or Date"
"10/1 etc...
