Hey MagPBS is the minimum to hold a line 80hrs instead of 76? Is this a recent change?

You are saying we aren’t losing flying - opposed to what the nutty Republic guy was saying. I use the ALPA estimates all the time. My calculations are a bit different. You show 1,200 hour increase. I showed 2,000 hour increase. Magpbs can tell us what is happening. Normally, I rely on him.

The manual is good but some of us learn better by seeing it in action.
I had a default bid but w/ the new navblue it's gone and I'm getting screwed on my bid now.

Covering flying for each other is not taking flying away from each other.

Nutty, Yes. Republic, No. He is the all knowing ExpressJet guy based in IAH.

The hours are coming from Air Whiskey that they cant handle and they are being spread around. What he can't figure out is the flying is all getting shifted so everyone is covering someone else's flights to cover the Whiskey flights.

Just leave it to the 61 year old to not get it and Happy Bday to him as well this month.
