1) No DFW is all CRJ-900s--no CRJ-700s on the Airways/AA side at this time, and all of the ones we (currently) have are devoted solely to United Express in IAD.
2) Golden days are "inviolate" meaning they can't (or aren't supposed to) JRA/junior assign you or schedule anything on those days. For example, let's say you have a wedding on the 10th of a month, and you work the 5th-9th. Let's say there's a meltdown/snowstorm and they're junior assigning an overnight that'd take you into the 10th (your day off). Per contract, they're supposed to go from the most junior available pilot up the list in inverese seniority order when trying to pin the JRA on someone. If you bid and were awarded a golden day on the 10th, they have to skip you and keep going up the list.
I never bid golden days on reserve b/c I was living out of a suitcase/hotel, and I actually wanted them to junior assign me for the $$$ and the comp day off later in the month. And it also messed with my ability to rapidly swap around reserve days as the numbers in flica shifted, since you can't swap into a GLD/golden day unless you call crew line and have it removed.
Anyways hope that clarifies things a bit. You can always just scan your contract pdf for "golden day" it's defined in there fairly well.

Be careful if you're TDY in DFW. There's a skunk that forages around the hotel at night looking for food. And, I was just verbally attacked by a crazy woman in the breakfast room.

Has to be on a day off. Done through the link on the pilot lounge. Best to use on the day AFTER a trip to limit ja issues

Has anyone encountered the crazy b**** at our wonderful hotel in LAX? She's an absolute nut bag, and thinks we are in the Air Force and she will follow you onto the van and tell you not to get on your flight.

I was trying to say "high" and you wouldn't even wave back. Jerk.
