If you learn to work it right, despite it's limitations you can get some good things out of it. My schedule now includes the last 11 days of next month off, and I've got two trips with LCA that I'm likely to be displaced off of. 72 hours credit and possibly only working 8 days next month? Works for me.

Several. I woke up last night randomly around 4 and was able to put in a few trades that approved before I woke up again.

Default Dion's Big Surprise!

So what are the rumors regarding Dion's big town hall announcement on October 20th, (same day the TA vote closes)?

Kinda reminds me of Nancy Pelosi's ridiculous statement; "You have to pass the bill to find out what's in it".

Yeah, I'm looking to play around with it in the upcoming months. I was able to get Thanksgiving off and now have the entire holiday weekend off as well and the weekend prior too. Took a few attemps, but I got what I wanted. I'm with ya on working the min, overtime here ain't worth the effort, I can make a heck of a lot more at my other job. I'm all about getting the most time off.

lol, no idea but i will be there...and i will be sure to call him a dick head. at least once.

who the eff knows.

won't be surprised if its some big announcement about airplanes or another base or something insane to sway the vote at the last minute....or if its something terrible like parking 50% of the fleet and furloughs...just to **** everyone that has already voted...

More stuff:

SPA buffers will be no more starting next month. Also, the company is looking at other vendors if they can't fix the processing times. If nothing gets fixed the pilots can take it straight to arbitration. The company will try separating the SAP and have CAs go one day and FOs the next.

How hard is it to get down to 65?

I had previously thought that you could just drop trips, but I recently found out you have to trade down?

Previously BNA was mentioned as a MX base, then a possible crew base. Then it was taken off the table all together, supposedly, but I recently read the article in Aero Crew News and the recruiter they interviewed said that CVG and BNA were new MX bases....

So, is BNA a MX base or what?

Are there many trips that overnight in BNA?
