On thing CAL has I like is it allows pilots on reserve to pick the trips up up to 24 hrs prior to report. We could do something like that to help commuters. RAW would not matter but those that flew less or had more seniority would have the ability to be the first on the list for said trip. (one way or the other in regards to priority for trip. It is for us to decide)
They also do not sign in, they acknowledge the trip within 24 hrs.
Just trying to add to the discussion.

Yes. A reserve pilot at CAL has the option to pick up the time 24 prior to report or their reserve period. My buddies always pick up a trip versus sit EWR. It is not assigned to you. You go to the pot and select to fly that trip. I believe it is instantaneous

This one is for anyone in the know and maybe Slow knows, how come vacation is Sunday-Saturday and not say a Monday-Sunday or Friday-Thursday to provide a full weekend off? I'm sure there is a reason as there always seems to be a reason because there are too many people involved not to have a reason.

Also, next request, if on reserve you don't lose a day off for training.
Again, not complaining. Just making suggestions as they pop in my head. Spent some time on the line with someone on a rather important committee, learned a lot.

The key is that it is solely at the discretion of the vacation desk. They will typically grant the request during slow vacation months (like March) but won't over the holidays or the summer.
Just make your request after the 1st of the month, after vacation moveups are processed, but NLT than the bid closing at 0800/12 of each month.
! HA! I tease.)
