Actually that's the March APA. Published in November, to be trained in time for March flying.

Trust me. If Carl had put March or February APA, the "Old Delta" guys would have been screaming bloody murder that we were publishing our awards 3-4 months in advance to get over on the in the SLI process. :D

Just kidding "Old Delta" guys. (I think) :rolleyes:

New K Now :D

Sharpshooters
 

Yes, but a lot of those were former block holders that bid to reserve so they could sharpshoot their vacation bids. Now that the vacation bid is done, they are returning to a block. Personally I would like to have seen some of them get stuck on reserve for a while so they could actually get that reserve vacation while still on reserve.

Is that a good thing? I was awarded MSPFO757R one year ago and have not moved 1 number.

Don't Know
 

I suppose if you want to do that sort of thing, it is a good thing. It is possible because (for now) there is movement on the A320. As long as there is a block position available when they want to return, it works out well for them. If they get to reserve to sharpshoot vacation and there is no movement for them to return to a block, they run the risk of getting stuck on reserve until a slot opens up. If you are on the bottom of the reserve list, you would never notice it if there are people senior to you vacating and filling these positions at the top of the reserve list. The smaller volume of movement on the 75 makes this scenario more risky on the 75. My comment was directed more at the sharpshooters. They bid reserve vacation and take it while blockholders. Kind of slimy in my opinion, but that is what their seniority allows them to do so it's all good. I'd just like to see them stuck on reserve for a while so they can "earn" that reserve vacation bid.;)
