I've never had one on my line and I've never met an FO who's had CDO's and did bid it. If you got them then PBS probably screwed you. When you log onto PBS and you check your new line, does it say that the CDO is a forced pairing, if not then you bid it?

what's worse is that 4 of them are the exact same pairing, PBS is treating me weird, in Dec. I bid 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 off. I didn't even bother to bid 24, 25, and I was worried I couldn't hold 31. But PBS gave me 24, 25, and 31 off. (All the ones I thought I couldn't get off.) But it PN'd me on the 27th, 28th, 29th, and 30th for standups. How fricken bizarre is that? And then it gave me another standup to start january. At least I understood working the first, a junior guy should have to, but the other stuff seems weird.

1) If you had four hours, would you stay on the plane or go to the hotel room?
2) Is Mesa the only airline to do standup or continuous duty overnights?
3) Do pilots of airlines other than Mesa get tired while on duty?
Sure, this story is a great way to attack Mesa. I understand that is a politically correct hobby for many pilots. But what in this story is unique to Mesa, other than the hotel room thing (which granted is silly on their part)?

2) NO. At comair we do complete months of cd's. Many senior people actually bid for them all the time.
3) Absoulutely
